Where do I start when learning Icelandic?
Our language experts have created hundreds of practical "scenarios" to choose from at the start of your journey. These scenarios relate to your reasons and interests for learning Icelandic, whether it's connecting with your partner's family or simply understanding the lyrics to your favourite songs.

Choose your scenarios and learn relevant Icelandic words and phrases that locals will actually use.

Once you've learnt some useful Icelandic words, you'll be presented with listening practice. Immerse yourself in videos of Icelandic native speakers using the words you've just learnt in a real-world context. This is important, so you can understand conversations confidently.

Next, you'll be presented with speaking practice with your AI language tutor that relates to the scenarios you've chosen. Want to order food at a restaurant in Icelandic? Practice all the related topics in private, so you can talk confidently in the real world.
Will the Icelandic lessons be tailored to my language level?
Yes. Memrise is suited to all language level abilities - you'll select your level during registration.
