The Icelandic language is delightful to listen to…but not that easy to speak, or read.
Aside: Did you know Iceland is actually spelled ISLAND. That is why you will see IS on their stamps. There is no letter C in the language, but a C is used in English so as not to confuse the country’s name with a body of land completely surrounded by water.
