Learn another language online

here's something that skogafoss gave me for free online courseware for learning to speak Icelandic.

Learn Icelandic
Quote:
The University of Iceland’s Free Course in Modern Icelandic Language and Culture
About this course (and how to use it)
Welcome to Icelandic OnLine, the University of Iceland’s fully automated self-instruction course in Modern Icelandic. The materials contained in the course will, when you master them, give you skills roughly equivalent to a first-semester college or university course in Modern Icelandic. The course is free to all individual users and does not grant any credit.
now maybe some of you are wondering why would I want to learn how to speak Icelandic?

5 reasons

If I wanted to learn a country's language because that country had hot chicks who didn't speak english too well... I'd learn Italian

And I plan to soon

most Icelanders speak english and speak it very well... so far the 3 trips I've been there I've not had to worry too much about not speaking the language especially when in the major cities.

What is quite impressive is that Modern Icelandic is still very much the same as the writings in the old Viking Sagas. In fact the Icelanders take great pride in the fact that they can read them.
