Hello! I’m Jerónimo, a polyglot tutor from Argentina. I specialize in the Icelandic language across its entire timeline—from the Old Norse of the Sagas and Eddas to the Modern Icelandic spoken in Reykjavík today.
My journey began at the 2017 Polyglot Conference in Reykjavík, where I decided to make Icelandic my specialty. Since then, I have dedicated myself to teaching it through a comparative and diachronic perspective. Whether you want to read medieval texts in the original or communicate in modern Iceland, I help you understand not just how the language works, but why it works that way, bridging the gap between the ancient and the modern.
Moi en tant que professeur
My approach is analytical and comparative. Speaking Spanish, English, French, Italian, German, and Portuguese—and having studied others, such as Polish, Russian, Latin, Greek, Chinese, and Japanese—allows me to draw precise structural parallels to help you grasp Icelandic faster. I tailor the learning curve to your background: we might leverage a Slavic speaker's intuition for cases, or use etymology to help English speakers master declensions. I view the language as a continuum, using its history to explain its logic and demystify complex rules.
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
I offer a flexible curriculum that slides between Literary Old Norse and Modern Communicative Icelandic, depending on your academic or personal goals.
We might analyze a modern sentence and trace its syntax back to the classical era, or dive directly into the Sagas to analyze morphology and style. My method is structured but adaptive: if your goal is travel, we prioritize high-frequency modern usage; if you are a literature enthusiast or academic, we focus on deep text analysis and reading comprehension. My goal is to provide you with the tools to become an independent learner capable of navigating the rich history of the Icelandic language and culture.

Jero is a great teacher. He is very kind and patient. He also teaches Icelandic as a foreigner who learned the language himself as an adult. Because of this, he may be a better fit for a someone who knows nothing of the language. The best thing about Jero is that he knows all types of self-study resources can show you what type of material may be best for your skill set. Thank you Jero.

Jero and Mr Low had a fun time talking about Norse mythology on 23 January 2026. I am keen to be contacted by Jero's students in Iceland. I had a little giggle about delivery using FedEx to Argentina.
