Learning Icelandic

you can teach yourself here at this site created by the university of Iceland. I did this before I came and found it was quite useful:

otherwise the usual places people go to learn Icelandic (in Reykjavík) are

university of Iceland:
http://www.english.hi.is/school_of_huma … d_language

mímir:
http://www.mimir.is/icelandic-courses/

International cultural center:
http://new.ahus.is/?page_id=173&lang=en

I took classes at the continuing education branch of the university but they don't seem to offer the courses anymore from what I can tell.

I've never heard of your site. Most people I know who're learning Icelandic are doing it along with work or studies and can't devote that much time to the language study. Can't say much about their web design though

Thank you very much! I have another question regarding this subject. I come from a country that's listed as one that does not need a visa to travel to Iceland for a period of no longer than three months. If i'm accepted for a masters degree in a University for the Autumn Semester, and my Resident permit starts in July or August, Could I travel as a tourist and learn the language like around February or March, or would that interfere with something in my permit?
