Culture in Iceland? Of course there is culture in Iceland and tons of it! Check out the country events guide if you don’t believe me and to point your attention to one that especially caught my eye look for the African Souvenirs in Iceland Exhibition taking place until 12, November 2006. Could be a pretty cool cultural event to check out, otherwise being in Iceland should be a cultural experience in its own.
Today’s word is an Icelandic word used in Iceland:
menning – culture
Háskóli Íslands, one of the universities offers an excellent free starter course to learning Icelandic. Pictures, text, and audio for sample conversations are included. European Youth Portal points out other sources of study within the country and distance learning. I’ve met several speakers with My Language Exchange. Lastly, check out the BBC for a few easy phrases to help get you around the town.
Past Icelandic words: söngkona/söngvari, himnaríki, velkomin, dýrt
