Icelandic Story - Erla and the Elves 

English subtitles are available! For beginners I recommend: Watch first with English subtitles and try to pick out simple words (like pronouns and numbers, “elf”, “and” etc). If you understood quite a bit - try again without subtitles and see how much you will get! If you understood very little - try again with subtitles and I am sure you'll understand more now! For intermediate students I recommend: Watch first without subtitles - try to understand as much as possible. For the second time watch with subtitles to see what you missed! Whatever your level, I do strongly recommend that you watch this story more than once (either now, or again in a few days). Because repetition really helps language learning. If at any time you feel like your brain is melting - remember the pause button. Breaks are encouraged :) This is not a trivial story to understand by any means - so anything that you do understand is a huge bonus! Yay for you guys!

This is so beautifully told! It made my day! Thank you!

This is is so helpful! And your voice is so soothing to listen to.

Great story! This gives me flashbacks to when I almost got stuck in Eyvindarhola. That would have been a bad day.

Það var fallegt!!! Þakka þér fyrir söguna!!

This was brilliant. A great way to introduce new words gently. The inflection patterns start to become a little bit clearer when the words are used in sentences. Many thanks.

I like how you you tried to keep the english translation close to the sentence construction in icelandic! very helpful

I woke up to this notification, and I'm not even mad😌😋. Can't wait for me and my fiancé to watch it together, we love your vids! 😁

Love this 💙💙

I just love this! Like all learners, I do the usual grammar and language learning methods... however this is something special. It is a chance to hear a clear, native speaker present a story at a slightly slower pace. Sometimes, I find myself trying to pick out words and pronouns, but other times I just read and listen, much like a child. It also helps so much with my pronunciation and accent (I hope). I just love your channel, and am finding it so helpful.

Thank you!

Ég þarf að taka það frá, að þú ert mjög góður kennari

Did you know that you are using the Costa Rican flag? :O

oops, I just bought you a coffee Ása (I was Wing Chun Mind Force) but must apologize, I wrote Erla og Álfarinn instead of Álfarnir.
