What things should I not do in Iceland? I will be going to Iceland in a week and I was wondering what things I shouldn't say or do in Iceland. i.e. I heard you don't tip waiters at restaurants in Iceland. Are there other things like that? Or are there annoying touristy things that Icelanders don't like? I want to try my best not to be rude or annoying in any way. Thank you very much.

What is the difference between segirðu and ertu að? Segirðu and ertu að both mean "are you," correct? DANIEL Sæl Ewa. (Hello Ewa) EWA Sæll. Hvað segirðu gott? (Hello. How are you?) DANIEL Bara allt gott. (All right.) Hvað ertu að gera í dag? (What are you doing today?) EWA Ég er að vinna í dag. (I am going to work today) En þú? (And you?) DANIEL Ég er að læra íslensku. (I am studying Icelandic) I am confused because segirðu and ertu að are both used as "are you." I thought it mean that one is long term and the other is short term but they are both short term in this example.**I thought it meant that one is long term and the other is short term but they are both short term in this example.

Icelandic Pronunciation. I'm having trouble finding a resource that has correct Icelandic pronunciation. Every site I go to the pronunciation seem different. On Sigur Ros's site they have the pronunciation of the Icelandic alphabet which to me made sense to study because they are native Icelandic speakers. ( http://www.sigur-ros.co.uk/band/pronunci.php ) I would however prefer if there was an IPA guide of Icelandic pronunciation. Also I have trouble rolling my "r"s If I say a word without rolling my are would it perhaps be mistaken for another word in Icelandic?

I will be going to Iceland and I believe I will be using this alot, can you check it for me? Ég er frá Bandaríkjunum ég tala ensku Ég tala nokkur orð í íslensku Talar þú ensku? I want to say: I'm from The United States of America, I speak English, I speak few words in Icelandic, do you speak English?

Any good resources for learning Icelandic? I was wondering if anyone knew any good resources for learning Icelandic, I'm currently using some online sites, the one I'm using the most is Iceland's University site, which is helpful but nothing in the lessons is in English and its hard to understand sometimes. I thought maybe it came with a textbook, if you know Iceland University's textbook for learning Icelandic that would be great. Or if you know any other resources; books, sites, programs, etc, that would be wonderful. Thank You very much and have a nice day.

Does anybody know any good resorces?

Currently I'm using the Univercity of Iceland's site. It's good, but sometimes its hard to understand because nothing is in english. So I thought perhaps it came with a text book, so if anybody knows what the textbook is called, that would be great. Or if they know a different icelandic learning book that is good. Or a site or anything.

Thanks Bunches.

First notebook entry: Introducing myself I'm currently trying to learn Icelandic. No specific reason really. I guess it's because I want to be tri-lingual and I think that Iceland is nice. I don't exactly know why I want to be tri-lingual its probably just because I want to say that I am without lying... this one time I was vegetarian for a year and a day just to say I was vegetarian for over a year. But still this doesn't mean I'm not serious about learning the language because I am. I hope you have a nice day; New User
