Teach Yourself Icelandic is the course for anyone who wants to progress quickly from the basics to understanding, speaking and writing Icelandic with confidence. Although aimed at beginners, it is equally suitable for those wishing to brush up existing knowledge.

This new edition has been completely updated to reflect current teaching practice, adopting a communicative approach to learning the language and includes lots of artwork and realistic exercises. A story runs throughout the book to keep the language in context and make the book enjoyable and easy to use. Key structures and vocabulary are introduced in 16 thematic units progressing from introducing yourself to going to the cinema.

The two CDs of accompanying listening material are available separately or in a pack with the book.

Hildur Jónsdóttir, the author, undertook post-graduate studies in Linguistics and Modern Icelandic and taught Icelandic at Cambridge University.
