I've just started learning how to pronounce names of the Norse gods, and your videos have helped a lot with proper pronunciation of the Icelandic alphabet. Thank you!

The way Icelandic people pronounce the R at the end of words is the GREATEST sound that humans can make! 😄 Also, if you name your kid Magnús, you can't get angry when they walk around just pulling trees out of the ground and picking up their teachers.

@misslizziet1

My last name is Magnusson and my best friend named her son Magnus. It’s the best!

I find that speaking Spanish helps with pronouncing Icelandic words. For example, the D-th sound in Sigridur is a soft d which breathes into a "th"sound. Also, the rolling r is common in Spanish as well. Many North Americans cannot roll their R's and make a gurgle sound. It's super funny.

It’s interesting: my name is Nathaniel, which is Hebrew for “God’s gift”. I suppose then that my Icelandic name would be “Guðmundur” if we were translating according to meaning. I love it! 🤩
