Skype has revolutionized learning Icelandic by connecting students with native speakers worldwide, overcoming the geographical barriers that previously limited access to this rare language. Through virtual classrooms and conversation exchanges, learners can now immerse themselves in Icelandic more easily than ever before, bridging gaps between isolated language enthusiasts and experienced tutors.
Skype Icelandic classes are similar to in-person one-on-one lessons in many ways. They offer personalized instruction tailored to the learner's needs, enabling direct real-time interaction with your teacher. Like in-person lessons, virtual Icelandic classes create an immersive environment where students can learn and practice new vocabulary, build confidence in speaking aloud and receive immediate feedback from their teacher.
Additionally, the visual and auditory aspect of web based classes closely mimics the interaction you get from face-to-face in person lessons, fostering a productive learning environment and personal connection to your tutor that helps you quickly build confidence and fluency in speaking Icelandic.
With features like screen sharing, instant messaging, and the ability to record sessions, learners can practice pronunciation, improve grammar, build vocabulary, and gain cultural insights. This interactive approach makes it a really effective tool to learn Icelandic from the comfort of your home or work.
One of the big advantages of our classes is that you save on travel costs and can access a wide range of teachers from all over the world.
This means that our Icelandic classes can often be more affordable than comparable in-person lessons. Typically virtual Icelandic lessons will cost between $20 USD to $40 USD per session. Many of our teachers also offer discounts and free trials for new students and we have a great loyalty discount plan, allowing you to learn Icelandic with a tutor that fits your budget.
You don't need much to learn Icelandic with Skype, but you will need the following before you can start your classes:
Regarding connection speed, we recommend a minimum internet speed of 1.5 Mbps for both download and upload for high-quality video classes. However, a faster connection (3 Mbps or higher) is ideal to ensure smooth and uninterrupted sessions, especially for high-definition video quality.
We've been at the front of helping people to learn a foreign language over the internet since 2006. All our tutors are specialists in enhancing fluency, building speaking confidence, and ensuring an efficient and effective path to becoming fluent in Icelandic.

One of the main advantages of our Icelandic lessons is that you can discuss the format and content of your lessons with your teacher so you can focus on your individual areas of weakness or work towards a specific goal, such as passing official proficiency tests.
Normally you will do most of the talking and the session will typically involve interactive activities such as guided conversations, role-playing scenarios, and spontaneous dialogue on various topics. This format is beneficial because it maximizes speaking practice, allowing learners to really focus on using their Icelandic conversational skills in real-time, improving fluency, and building confidence.
Using this approach, students can better internalize vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation, and receive immediate feedback and corrections from the tutor, making the whole experience more dynamic and effective.
We are committed to helping individuals achieve success in official Icelandic language proficiency exams by connecting them with experienced native teachers. As one of the rarer languages globally, Icelandic presents unique challenges, which we address through a personalized approach using advanced video conferencing tools for interactive, real-time lessons. Our native teachers have a deep understanding of the language’s complexities and the specific requirements of proficiency exams, providing expert guidance in reading, writing, listening, and speaking.
Our courses are designed to tackle the most difficult aspects of the exams. Whether you are preparing for the Icelandic Proficiency Exam (Íslenskt Próf) or other official certification tests, our teachers create tailored lesson plans that align with the formats and expectations of each exam. Students benefit from intensive grammar reviews, vocabulary expansion, and practice exams that simulate real test conditions. Additionally, our instructors offer crucial insights into cultural contexts and idiomatic expressions, ensuring that students are thoroughly prepared to excel in their exams and communicate effectively in Icelandic.
We offer a variety of payment options for your lessons, including credit/debit cards and PayPal.
All prices displayed represent the total cost before any applicable discounts or promotions and you can choose to pay in your local currency.
We know that becoming fluent in Icelandic takes time, so unlike other platforms we have a great discount scheme which is based on your booking history rather than how many lessons you can afford to purchase in one go. This means that Icelandic classes on Skype with Verbalplanet become progressively cheaper whether you book one lesson at a time or twenty.
