Chief Icelandic Language Coach at Speak Viking

Halló! I'm Óskar Bragi, the heart and voice behind Speak Viking. For over a decade, I've been guiding curious language learners through the beautiful complexities of Icelandic online.

My teaching journey began as a simple way to connect with people interested in my native language. What I didn't expect was how profoundly it would reconnect me with my own linguistic heritage. What started as lessons about grammar and vocabulary blossomed into something much more meaningful: a global community of learners sharing discoveries, stories, and cultural connections.

When I'm not helping students perfect their pronunciation or celebrate their first successful conversation in Icelandic, you'll find me:

• Creating memories with my daughter

• Exploring Iceland's breathtaking landscapes

• Enjoying the simple pleasure of a perfect cup of coffee

• Taking invigorating dips in the Atlantic (yes, even in winter!)

• Discussing film trivia at the local cinema

My approach to teaching focuses on making Icelandic accessible, engaging, and practical. I believe learning a language should be about connection rather than perfection - it's about experiencing the culture, understanding the humor, and finding your own voice within a new linguistic world.

Whether you're planning a trip to Iceland, considering a move, or simply fascinated by our language and culture, I'm here to guide your journey with patience, enthusiasm, and a touch of Icelandic humor.
