  1.  @aydenzinter2849  Yea but English and Iceland share a common ancestor so that is why it has some similar words but unlike in most other languages they are low tech basic words. But in modern Icelandic they will always make up a unique Icelandic term that is very different from most languages where they just take the word from from the language of the people who invented it. But take the Icelandic word for radio for example útvarp very different from other languages but lets take a long út is like the English out and varp is like the English word warp. But in old English warp means throw or casting like broadcasting so a literal translation of útvarp is out throwing or out casting so Icelandic has a connection with English. (sorry for all the typos i am out of time please don't make fun of me my pc is about to crash)

  4. The language itself is not so hard it has thing in common with English but i don't get to practice much because the language only has 300k speakers and have a culture where they don't see their language as important so i am forgetting what i learned i only get to hear Icelandic podcasts maybe once a month.
