Pimsleur Icelandic Conversational Course | Level 1 Lessons 1-16 CD: Learn to Speak and Understand Icelandic with Pimsleur Language Programs (1) Review: Usable & Effective - Icelandic is a difficult language for a non-native speaker to learn --even for someone who speaks another Germanic language (English). These CDs are fantastic. I learned commonly used phrases and words, and was able to converse with native Icelandic speakers and be understood. These lessons also prepared me to read Icelandic. I moved on from these CDs to the next lessons up. Review: Effective, but . . . - Favorable Factors 1)It exists. Courses on Icelandic are hard to find. It is not represented in Duolingo, Rosetta Stone, or Babel. So, I was happy to find this set of CDs. 2)On the whole, it is a good course. It uses the Pimsleur method, which I found to be effective for teaching a foreign language. On a recent visit to Iceland, I was mostly understood—and appreciated—when I used these words and expressions. 3)It uses native speakers of Icelandic to teach pronunciation. By imitating them, you will speak in a way understandable by Icelanders. 4)Icelandic is basically medieval Norwegian, Old Norse, so by learning this language, you will speak the language of the Vikings. Students who have already studied modern Norwegian will be helped by the numerous cognates shared by the two languages. Negative Factors 1)There is no printed material whatsoever with this course. It really should have a printed guide that shows each word or expression taught in each lesson, as well as their phonetic pronunciations. It really helps both to learn and to retain information, particularly if you wish to return at a later date to this language. In the absence of a guide, I made my own, showing phonetic values and definitions for each word I learned. I compiled these onto an Excel spreadsheet. 2)For each of the last six lessons of this sixteen-lesson course, the Icelandic speakers pronounce 20 additional words for the stated purpose of helping one to read the language. However, nowhere are these words defined, so you are left with 120 words, which you can pronounce but have no idea what they mean. An online guide shows how to spell these words, but again without knowing what they mean, they are useless. Once again, the lack of a printed guide is a major flaw in the course. Conclusion Whenever I go overseas, I try to learn the local expressions for “Excuse me” and “Thanks.” Learning these expressions earns one some respect from the locals. This course satisfied those needs and more. Judging by the encouraging words from Icelanders, they appreciated my sincere attempt to learn their language, which is spoken by fewer than 400,000 people. So, I hesitate to give this course a low rating. I’ll give it a 4 out of 5, because it really helped me during my recent visit to Iceland. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,274,278 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #3,381 in Foreign Language Instruction (Books) #3,603 in Books on CD #35,639 in Schools & Teaching (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 out of 5 stars 39 Reviews | ## Images ![Pimsleur Icelandic Conversational Course | Level 1 Lessons 1-16 CD: Learn to Speak and Understand Icelandic with Pimsleur Language Programs (1) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61eYKDi8OEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Usable & Effective *by L***N on December 22, 2019* Icelandic is a difficult language for a non-native speaker to learn --even for someone who speaks another Germanic language (English).

Icelandic is a difficult language to master in that it is not based in Latin or any Romance language. If you are heading to Iceland for business or pleasure buy this course of instruction. ## Frequently Bought Together - Pimsleur Icelandic Conversational Course | Level 1 Lessons 1-16 CD: Learn to Speak and Understand Icelandic with Pimsleur Language Programs (1) - Iceland Map (National Geographic Adventure Map, 3302) - Icelandic Language: The Icelandic Phrasebook --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/33202582-pimsleur-icelandic-conversational-course-level-1-lessons-1-16-cd](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/33202582-pimsleur-icelandic-conversational-course-level-1-lessons-1-16-cd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-18*
