I am currently studying Finnish after getting interested in the language by playing the game My Summer Car. After studying it for some time, it isn’t too difficult. The grammar is pretty regular, and the prepositions (like on, at, and to) are just stuck on the ends of nouns, which, while confusing at first, isn’t too difficult to pick up after some practice. And while the language isn’t part of the bigger neighboring language families (Slavic and Germanic), it has been in contact with them for enough time to give a lot of loan words that help keep you balanced in the language.
The other language I have been studying has been Icelandic. While it’s a Germanic language, it is far removed from the modernized Germanic languages, like English and German, and it is quite challenging to learn. I have been studying Icelandic on and off for years. Fortunately, I have been able to start using some decent free resources such as https://icelandiconline.com/, which is open to use by the public. The problem with the website is that almost everything is in Icelandic, so you need some knowledge of the language to use the website. The website was also created in 2010, I believe, and its age does show. If you are interested in Icelandic using the website, then you will have to take a lot of time, in the beginning, using google translate in order to get by.
While learning both these languages, I got inspired to create some learning resources for both of them. I tried my best to find existing resources to no avail. In order to help myself learn these languages and to help all of you who want to learn these languages, I decided to create these resources, which you should be able to see on this website in the near future.
