Detailed instructions enable you to understand and participate in the conversation. Practice for vocabulary introduced in previous lessons is included in each lesson.

The emphasis is on pronunciation and comprehension, and on learning to speak Icelandic. Reading lessons begin in Lesson 11 to provide you with an introduction to reading Icelandic.

The Icelandic Language Icelandic, the official language of Iceland, is spoken by the island nation's entire population of just over 330,000. In addition, approximately 8,000 speakers live in Denmark and 6,500 in North America. Descended from Old Norse, Icelandic is one of the Nordic languages belonging to a subgroup of Northern Germanic languages which also includes Norwegian and Faroese (spoken in the remote Faroe Islands off the coast of Denmark). The insular Icelandic language has not changed significantly since the Middle Ages and is considered a part of the country’s national identity. The government's Icelandic Language Committee, charged with maintaining linguistic purism, keeps foreign words from influencing the language by coining new terms (usually constructed by combining old words) to describe modern concepts. For example, the word “computer” did not exist in Icelandic, so a new word, tölva, was created. Tölva is a combination of two existing words, tala (number) and völva (a prophetess or magical seer) or, literally, "number prophet".

Review: Usable & Effective - Icelandic is a difficult language for a non-native speaker to learn --even for someone who speaks another Germanic language (English). These CDs are fantastic. I learned commonly used phrases and words, and was able to converse with native Icelandic speakers and be understood. These lessons also prepared me to read Icelandic. I moved on from these CDs to the next lessons up. Review: Ég tala smávegis íslensku. - Amazing product. Purchased this for an upcoming trip to Iceland and within a few months I could speak basic Icelandic. I was able to communicate to people in Iceland (even though most speak English) and am able to read basic words. I will be purchasing the next set to continue as it was super easy and a great way to make a boring commute less mundane. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 40 Reviews | ## Images ![Pimsleur Icelandic Conversational Course | Level 1 Lessons 1-16 CD: Learn to Speak and Understand Icelandic with Pimsleur Language Programs (Volume 1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eYKDi8OEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Usable & Effective *by L***N on 22 December 2019* Icelandic is a difficult language for a non-native speaker to learn --even for someone who speaks another Germanic language (English).

Purchased this for an upcoming trip to Iceland and within a few months I could speak basic Icelandic. I was able to communicate to people in Iceland (even though most speak English) and am able to read basic words. I will be purchasing the next set to continue as it was super easy and a great way to make a boring commute less mundane. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Effective, but . . . *by A***R on 27 December 2023* Favorable Factors 1)It exists. Courses on Icelandic are hard to find. It is not represented in Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, or Babel. So, I was happy to find this set of CDs. 2)On the whole, it is a good course. It uses the Pimsleur method, which I found to be effective for teaching a foreign language. On a recent visit to Iceland, I was mostly understood—and appreciated—when I used these words and expressions. 3)It uses native speakers of Icelandic to teach pronunciation. By imitating them, you will speak in a way understandable by Icelanders. 4)Icelandic is basically medieval Norwegian, Old Norse, so by learning this language, you will speak the language of the Vikings. Students who have already studied modern Norwegian will be helped by the numerous cognates shared by the two languages. Negative Factors 1)There is no printed material whatsoever with this course. It really should have a printed guide that shows each word or expression taught in each lesson, as well as their phonetic pronunciations. It really helps both to learn and to retain information, particularly if you wish to return at a later date to this language. In the absence of a guide, I made my own, showing phonetic values and definitions for each word I learned. I compiled these onto an Excel spreadsheet. 2)For each of the last six lessons of this sixteen-lesson course, the Icelandic speakers pronounce 20 additional words for the stated purpose of helping one to read the language. However, nowhere are these words defined, so you are left with 120 words, which you can pronounce but have no idea what they mean. An online guide shows how to spell these words, but again without knowing what they mean, they are useless. Once again, the lack of a printed guide is a major flaw in the course. Conclusion Whenever I go overseas, I try to learn the local expressions for “Excuse me” and “Thanks.” Learning these expressions earns one some respect from the locals. This course satisfied those needs and more. Judging by the encouraging words from Icelanders, they appreciated my sincere attempt to learn their language, which is spoken by fewer than 400,000 people. So, I hesitate to give this course a low rating. I’ll give it a 4 out of 5, because it really helped me during my recent visit to Iceland. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pimsleur Icelandic Conversational Course | Level 1 Lessons 1-16 CD: Learn to Speak and Understand Icelandic with Pimsleur Language Programs (1) - Iceland Map (National Geographic Adventure Map, 3302) - Icelandic Language: The Icelandic Phrasebook --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ph/products/631547409-pimsleur-icelandic-conversational-course-level-1-lessons-1-16-cd](https://www.desertcart.ph/products/631547409-pimsleur-icelandic-conversational-course-level-1-lessons-1-16-cd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Philippines* *Store origin: PH* *Last updated: 2026-07-06*
