For who?
The conversation cards are intended for beginners who are learning Icelandic and:
- want to practice what they have learned by having real conversations.
- want to speak Icelandic but don’t have the vocabulary to keep a conversation going.
The conversation cards are also for those who speak Icelandic and want to assist someone who is learning the language.
How to use?
Use the conversation cards to break the ice and begin a conversation with someone who:
- speaks Icelandic
- is learning Icelandic like you
The cards can be divided between two or more people and then participants take turns asking and answering. You can also set up an interview with the cards. Then you can draw one card at a time.
It’s worth mentioning that repetition is very important in all language learning, so it can be good to use more than one method when going through the same conversation over and over again.
Where to use?
- at home with family or friends who speak Icelandic, or are also learning it
- at school or at work during breaks
- in cafes with a tandem/study partner
The packages are fairly small and fit conveniently in a bag or a pocket, so you can take them with you anywhere. Therefore it’s definitely possible to use the conversation cards in more places then those mentioned above.
