I've been focusing on learning from the vocabulary and grammar of Icelandic Online because Uni starts soon and I need to know all of that in order to study at the University. For this reason I haven't been translating other things or looking for vocabulary to put on the blog.

Magazine Issue Two


Includes beginning grammar ("Where are you from", answering and forming questions, gerunds), cultural facts, historical facts, and useful information for tourists, along with vocabulary on each of these subjects.

The first two magazines are free, but I was wondering what people think about charging for the next issues. If that's acceptable, how much is okay? I was thinking of charging $2.50 USD. Is that too much?
