Episode 775 - HANDAN DALANNA

Today on RÚV English Radio, another new book for Icelandic language learners.

Previous RÚV English Radio guest (https://www.ruv.is/english/2025-02-04-ruv-english-radio-leitin-ad-ordum-the-search-for-words-435071) Kristín Guðmundsdóttir joins Darren again today to talk about her new book, Handan dalanna (Beyond the Valleys). It's aimed at helping learners master more than just grammar, also focusing on cultural fluency - the language's idioms, phrases, and unwritten rules.

The book has 12 illustrated stories to explain common linguistic hurdles.
