If you want to learn Icelandic but don't have a native son or dóttir of that enigmatic nation handy; don't skip over to Rosetta Stone looking for a clue, because that gold-plated program's list of languages will disappoint you. But you can put the $500-ish you were going to spend on such fancy software into your personal-habit fund and breathe easy, because the University of Iceland has us all covered. Only a very brief registration is required before you can swim free of charge through the wonderful web-2.0 world of beginner and intermediate language lessons. You'll learn in no time from people like the Radiohead bear's modestly-hot, scantily-clad mom the correct pronunciation of things like handklæði (towel) and sundbolur (bathing suit). Which are important words in a nation whose equivalent of a coffee shop is the local geothermal spa. YES PLEASE.
