Teach Yourself Icelandic

This is a good course for the more technically minded student. It starts simply and gives more in depth information with each chapter.

It focuses a lot on the grammar, cases and declension of Icelandic and is perhaps more suited to someone who has already studied a language besides english (I am a German speaker).

It gives a good understanding of how Icelandic works as a language and the CDs help a lot with pronounciation and understanding the spoken language.

Teach Yourself Icelandic

I have not completed this course yet, but I have looked ahead. This is an excellent resource to start learning Icelandic. It starts out with pronounciation and works you through simple questions like What is your name? to more complex sentences and words. Cases and gender are introduced right at the beginning.This is a great resource and I recommend it for those who want to start learning Icelandic.

Learning Icelandic

While I have not completed the course, I have reviewed it and appears to be a solid teaching method. Icelandic especially requires having the CD for audio as it is a very subtle language for pronunciation.

One warning for Amazon UK orders: I ordered mine from the US and a friend ordered at the same time from the UK. She only got the audio CDs while I got the nice book and CDs. This is not the first time this has happened to her for Amazon UK.

EXCELLENT

I've had a fascination with Icelandic for a while now, and I've tried many books. The Colloquial books suck. period, the end. Don't buy the Colloquial Icelandic book. They just MENTION case very late in the book, and just throw a giant chart at you and have only ONE exercise.

This book is jsut the opposite. It gently introduces the topic of case at the beginning, and it is discussed throughout the entire book. The CDs are excellent. Icelandic is a hard langauge, and not learnable in one book, but this book gets you pretty darn close.
