Learn to speak Icelandic out loud

Most Icelandic courses stop at recognising words. In 4ToSpeak every Icelandic sentence ends with you saying it, so the skill you build is the one a real conversation asks for.

How it works

Four steps for every Icelandic sentence

One loop you repeat on every sentence, ending with you speaking Icelandic out loud.

  1. Step 1

    Order

    See a Icelandic sentence and rebuild it in English from a bank of words.

  2. Step 2

    Translate

    See the English and build the sentence in Icelandic, word by word.

  3. Step 3

    Listen

    Hear the sentence spoken in Icelandic, then type what you understood.

  4. Step 4

    Speak

    Say it out loud in Icelandic and see which words landed and which to try again.

Speaking Icelandic

Why speak Icelandic from day one

The sounds, rhythm and word order of Icelandic stick when you produce them, not when you recognise them. Each sentence you say out loud gets you closer to the way a real Icelandic speaker talks, and the speaking step shows you which words you landed.

Icelandic questions, answered

Can I learn Icelandic for free with 4ToSpeak?

Yes. The free plan needs no card and has no time limit. You get 25 daily energy, about 3 to 4 full lessons a day, and the whole module store is open to you (some modules cost coins you earn by practising).

How does 4ToSpeak teach Icelandic speaking?

Every Icelandic sentence goes through four steps: you order it, translate it, listen and type it, then say it out loud. The last step is the point. You hear how close you were, word by word, instead of tapping an answer.

Do I need a microphone to practise Icelandic?

Yes, for the speaking step. Your browser asks permission the first time, and it works on a phone, a tablet or a computer. The other three steps work without one.

Do I need to know any Icelandic already?

No. Lessons start from short everyday Icelandic sentences and build up, so you can begin from nothing.

What script does Icelandic use?

Icelandic is written in the Latin alphabet, so you can start reading it straight away. The speaking steps cover the sounds that differ from English.
