learning the language

words of the day
     Bjór- beer
used in a sentence...
Ég vil bjór. I want a beer

     Hurð- door
Lokaðu hurðinni. Close the door!

    Klósettið -the bathroom
Ég þarf að pissa. i have to pee. 


definitely the weirdest language imaginable.  To help me learn this ridiculous (fáránlegt) language i have put post-its all over my room.  The family has decided to teach me Icelandic even Odinnson's four year old cousin, Kristín María is putting in some effort.  Last night we watched the Lion King in Icelandic and she was explaining things to me about Simbi.  Of course i had no idea what she was saying and since children in general freak me out I ignored her.  She didn't seem to get the hint  because she kept talking and staring me down when i didn't answer. I was relieved when Odinnson finally showed up to translate.  I believe Kristín María is part fay. she kept looking at me like she was planning to play a trick on me or cast a spell on me.  I'm trying to stay on her good side so i don't end up half mad wandering the glaciers.
