Þóra's favourite Icelandic fact is the existence of a secret and mythical fifth noun case. If you ask her about it, she might divulge the secret. Or she might have to kill you to keep it. 50/50.

Half-English, half-Icelandic, and all fun, Þóra brings a unique bilingual perspective to her classroom (as well as an accent that would make Hugh Grant swoon). Her approach emphasises getting her students to speak and teaching vocabulary and grammar through guided conversations as she adapts to each student's needs like a linguistic chameleon.
Þóra is seeped in language, coming from a background of translation.
When Þóra isn't teaching, she's translating.
Þóra can teach in Icelandic and English.
She also speaks German, French, and Japanese, as well as some Spanish, Italian, and Greek. Also, Scandinavian: an unholy amalgamation of Danish, Swedish, Norwegian, and Icelandic.
Valgerður once taught a group of catholic nuns through a Hannibal Lecter-style glass wall. We've since made it clear to Valgerður that she can't eat students. Not even a little bit.

Valgerður has a deep understanding of the difficulties of learning a language, being a lifelong language learner herself. Her approach is rooted in that empathy, creating a safe space where mistakes are celebrated as stepping stones toward proficiency.
Valgerður is a passionate language learner herself, and her impressive degree collection reflects that.
Teaching is Valgerður's passion. She teaches Icelandic as a second language with us as a side-gig to her main job, which is teaching Icelandic as a second language.
Valgerður can teach in Icelandic and English. She also speaks Russian.
The man is a compulsive teacher. If he didn't get paid to do this, he would just be really annoying at parties. He founded Icelandic made easi(er) out of boredom in Covid lockdowns, and now he runs it because he would be bored doing anything else.

Siggi's linguistics background shines through in his attitude to language. Namely, that it's fascinating.
Siggi is a compulsive teacher with over half a decade of experience teaching Icelandic.
