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?

Þrjú stórhveli komin á land - Three big whales(?) come ashore.

„Þetta er góð byrjun, þetta hefur farið vel af stað," sagði Kristján Loftsson, stjórnar­formaður Hvals hf., kampakátur eftir að fyrsti hvalur vertíðarinnar, meðalstór langreyður, var dreginn á land í Hvalfirði síðdegis í gær. - "This is a good beginning, this has started well," said Kristján Loftsson, (I'll finish attempting to translate this later)

Strax var hafist handa við að skera hvalinn í hvalveiðistöðinni. Annað hvalveiðiskip kom til lands síðar í gærkvöldi með tvær aðrar langreyðar. Allar voru þær skotnar suðvestur af landinu þrátt fyrir lélegt skyggni.

Leyfi hefur verið veitt til að veiða allt að 200 langreyðar á vertíðinni, sem nú er hafin og stendur fram á haust. „Þetta er um hundrað daga vertíð," segir Kristján.

Aðspurður segist hann ekki hafa neinar áhyggjur af sölu afurðanna. „Það hefur allt gengið ágætlega." - gb
