I've been learning Icelandic for a couple years and I love to help out new learners. Would you be interested in helping me put together a site for learners?

I've been meaning to do it for a while but haven't gotten around to it. I have a good collection of material and a handful of Icelanders at my disposal. It's simply a matter of having someone there to push me to get things done.

I learned Icelandic with the book Colloquial Icelandic by Daisy L. Neijmann. I just read that book until I knew it by heart.

Then I moved on to this book, which is very old and uses very strange language. But it's great because Icelandic is an old and formal language, so it exposed me to a whole new level of Icelandic.
Lots to read in it.

This is tricky because allot of learning materials are very beginner-friendly, I suggest checking out Icelandic: Grammar, Text & Glossary by Stefan Einarsson, however beware this book was published in 1946, so it's a little outdated but it's still worth a look.

It gives information on the various aspects of Icelandic grammar including pronunciation, inflection & syntax. I do feel that a series like Routledge's Colloquial, Teach Yourself or Hippocrene's Beginners WILL help with conversions & general colloquialisms.
