I had a massive love-hate relationship with this course (full review: https://forum.language-learners.org/vie ... =70#p40941) but it was the main thing that got me over the step into native content. It is indeed all in Icelandic. All I can say is that I used Google Translate extensively and shamelessly. All the time. Interestingly I never did finish it either. I dabbled in the higher levels but if I recall correctly I didn't even finish IOL3. (If Peter Mollenberg is reading this, I'm sure he's twitching.)
Quickly slams laptop closed... covers camera on iPhone... ummmm, no, no twitching here, none at all. What makes you say I twitch? I mean that I might’ve twitched, but it was a joke, right, haha ... haha (laughing turns nervous)... Say, umm, great write up on your journey with Icelandic materials. No, really. Good to see you’re still language learning I’m not up to speed on your French of late though, I hope it’s going well!
Btw I watched something interesting today with regards to the Faeroe Islands. I posted it in the Team Nordic thread, so i’ll paste it here too as you might find it slightly interesting, if you can view it.

In the video they talk a lot about the developing multicultural trend in the Faeroe Islands due to a shortage of women, who they themselves to a certain extent have gone off to other lands in search of opportunities. Language and culture, including the learning of Faeroese is discussed in the video. Worth a look. If you cannot watch the video, there is an accompanying article which summarises the video content.

I'm definitely looking forward to getting back to French in 2018......
.....If I can get the time off work, I'm going back to Lille in early April to see Paris-Roubaix again. So if I've managed some proper reading by then, I'll reward myself with a few books from Le Furet du Nord (the most amazing bookstore). We shall see!
Okay, I’m up to speed now on your French. Now that wasn’t too hard PM, was it? I’m such a dickhead sometimes dickheading about in a world of dickheads (i’m referring to the dimension in which I reside).
PARIS ROUBAIX!!!!! Wow! I’m so jealous! You total **** (fill in blank with four letter word, like ‘cake’ or ‘bake’ or ‘guten tag, ja sehr güt, danke’ or a symbol like ^ - pretty straight forward really, stop fretting over it) ! Would love to be there too, riding of course, because i’m like so amazing at riding an’ that. I could win the Tour de France after like 2 weeks training, hands down flat out for realz. PM, shut up already.
Given you’ve provided a rough estimate of your French level (~ a little past A2, right?), what’s your current level of Icelandic, Soffía, out of curiosidad, si ça ne te gêne pas ?
