We all have an accent. Posted by hulda on Apr 14, 2012
Here’s a small example set of different kinds of accents from my class. Try to hear which countries they say they’re from for a small language practice. (Note the man who walks past the camera – we all saw him but he doesn’t show up in the video. I’m suspecting he may be one of…
Cooking and Seasoning Info Posted by sequoia on Jan 29, 2012

Numbers part one of two Posted by sequoia on Oct 6, 2011
Most of this is just taken from stuff I’ve typed up as drafts for a textbook, but I’ve added things in and if you don’t understand anything just ask. I figure most of you readers know this stuff already but there were a few people who were interested in learning Icelandic and who weren’t already…
