nah, I was interested in it too, maybe I still am. I remember seeing a CD @ walmart it was $5 or something (that's Canadian, so it's free in America) and it had "LEARN OVER 25 LANGUAGES" and Icelandic was there. Never picked it up though, those CD teachers always seem like crap to me.Get Lazy's #1 fugitive!Comment

I'm slowly working on learning/translating Versti Fantur myself. I've listened to that song so many bloody times, I almost have it memorized. Sylvanas, would you be so kind as to help me out with that? If you have the translation handy that would be awesome.[/i]Comment

I actually have all of Versti Fantur, and a number of others, completely done. I'm taking my higher-quality mp3s and movie files, making altered copies augmenting the vocals while decreasing other frequencies to reduce instruments and other noise, then using a program I have that slows down the recordings without altering the pitch so I have more time to catch the sounds. It makes things a little easier. Having a new, better version of the Glanni stage show also helps. :/
I'm also using various programs on learning Icelandic and book scans that I've made to help with the learning and translating progress. Most of the stuff is out of print or incredibly difficult to find and order. I just happen to be in a good location for snagging the stuff.
Do you have AIM or MSN?Comment
