“Best choice!”
I've been confusing the pronunciation until I met Þóra. She will provide me with many media types to strengthen my listening and speaking skills through dialogue. I highly recommend taking classes with Þóra as your best choice.
“A patient and encouraging teacher.”
Valgerður is a patient and encouraging teacher, who is also very flexible in tailoring the lessons to your individual needs.

My Siggi is a unique boy. He is patient, understanding, and always ready to put himself in others’ shoes. I am so lucky to have this wonderful son.

It depends.
It can take as little as a day to be able to order at a café, if you’re Danish and have a good instructor. It will take multiple lifetimes to be able to write a doctoral thesis, if you’re Vietnamese and never read or listen to any Icelandic.
As a rule of thumb, though, it takes about 1-2 years to reach equal footing with natives for day-to-day communication, assuming you’re immersed in the language on a daily basis.
It depends.
If you're an independent learner on a budget, the self-study course might be best for you.
If you'd like more hands-on expert guidance and don't mind paying for the expertise, private classes are your best bet.
