| In Icelandic 2 there is big emphasis on revising and building on what was studied in Icelandic 1. Verbs like að þurfa (to need) or að finnast (to think/to find), which improve the ability to express yourself, are taught and we continue to add on more important vocabulary. At the end of the course students should be able to tell others about things in their lives, such as their hobbies or favorite places, along with being able to express their basic opinions, longings and needs. Students listen, write, read and speak Icelandic and just like in Icelandic 1 we still put a lot of emphasis on pronounciation and all the sounds that the Icelandic letters can form. At the end of the course, there is a test to revise and practise everything studied in the course. A book is included in the course. If a student is unsure which level they should attend they can come to our office at Bolholt 6 and take a look at our books to see which level suits them best. |
