Aim

Our aim is to make it possible to learn languages on the net as if it were an ordinary classroom. The students can read, listen, write and speak. It is furthermore important that the students get to know the society and the culture of the country where the language is spoken.


Main emphasis

- At Tungumálaskólinn there are teachers leading every class. It is our experience that it ensures better results than if the students are on their own.
- The syllabus includes information about the countries and nations where the language is spoken to ensure that the students learn the language and at the same time get to know the country, the people and their habits. Society, culture and language are in that way intertwined and make for interesting and successful studies on the Internet.
- It is important for us to ensure that no matter how little you know about computers, you can take a course on skoli.eu, and we hope that our students agree with us in thinking that the site is transparent and easy to use.
- We constantly revise both the material we use and the teaching methods.
- Material for further reading is always available and there is an entertainment-site with crosswords and games.
At Tungumálaskólinn, you can have fun while learning a language.

The first courses at Tungumálaskólinn

The first courses that will be taught at Tungumálaskólinn will be Icelandic as a Foreign Language. We have chosen to do this as there is an urgent need for this in Iceland due to many new immigrants that are required to learn Icelandic and the teachers have years of practice in teaching Icelandic as a Foreign Language both on the Internet and in a classroom.

The Icelandic Ministry of Education has decided to subsidize the courses for those that reside in Iceland.
