Verbs
To learn a languge you start with the verbs. Learning Icelandic, you’re lucky enough to be able to start talking about what you’re doing now, the recent past, and the future by learning three sentence formulas, but that’s just the beginning!
You can collect vocabulary in various ways, but to remember it and use it correctly, you need to practice both by writing and speaking. ✪Find a speaking partner to get fluency in the conversation part. ✪A good way to improve your grammar is doing relevant grammar exercises.

Nouns
Icelandic nouns are divided into three gender groups and several declension categories. There is no indefinite article in Icelandic but the definite article is added to the endings of the nouns.
As a beginner you cann’t avoid mistakes. You’ll make improvements by making a priority list. Focus on the five largest declension categories in the beginning. They are: i-masculine nouns, a-feminine nouns, 0- and i-neuter nouns and ur-masculine nouns. The last one is the most difficult because of the question of whether it should be i-ending or not in the dative case.
