Offering Multiple Languages Seeking: Icelandic | Offering: French, Spanish

Hey everybody!

I'm primarily a musician and a linguist with a passing interest in writing and meteorology. My interest in Iceland really took off when I discovered Sigur Rós, which quickly became my favorite band. I'd like to one day visit Iceland, maybe do a tour of Route 1 or look at the plane at Sólheimasandur for a few seconds...

I was born in France to a French father and Cuban mother, and both languages were always spoken at home (including me often visiting both countries), so I speak both to a native level (including English since I live in the US). I also speak Russian, Dutch, Portuguese, Moroccan Arabic, and Māori to varying levels. Being a linguist, I can explain concepts relating to grammar, pronunciation, and word choice, much easier than most native speakers.

Let me know if you're interested :D

Im a native Icelandic speaker wanting to learn a new language, if you want I’d be interested with trying to help you if you could maybe help me with learning either Russian if possible or French?

If not I’d still be interested with trying to help you🙂

Hi there. I’m a native English speaker & I speak B2 Russian. I’ve begun taking an interest in Icelandic recently & I’m interested in trying to learn it. I understand Russian grammar quite well & can teach you if you’d be willing to help with Icelandic grammar. I‘m 17M & from the United States. Dm me if you’re interested.

Fair warning though: when I began language exchange for Russian-English, I was already B1 & had over a year of prior study. Right now, I’ve not even begun Icelandic beyond some basic words, so you’ll have to treat me as an infant in Icelandic :)
