New handbook for those wishing to learn Icelandic
Routledge has published the book Icelandic: An Essential Grammar by Désirée Louise Neijmann, adjunct lecturer at the University of Iceland's Faculty of Icelandic and Comparative Cultural Studies. This is a handbook for all learners of Icelandic, whether class-based or independent, looking to progress beyond beginner level.
Presenting a fresh and accessible description of the language, this engaging Grammar uses clear, jargon-free explanations and sets out the complexities of Icelandic in short, readable sections. Icelandic: An Essential Grammar is a concise and convenient guide to the basic grammatical structure of Icelandic. Each grammar point is illustrated with numerous examples drawn from everyday life, clarifying the grammatical structure in use while providing insight into Icelandic culture. A modern overview in English of all major elements of Icelandic grammar has been lacking and thus an important addition, especcially now when a record number of people want to learn Icelandic.
