I mean, Icelandic sounds like quite a difficult language to learn. I'm sure it's a good party trick.

Well I live in germany but I am studying in english so I don't have that urgency to really speak the language. However, one of the main purposes of coming to germany was to learn German good enough to be able to read the literature. So far I have had it easy with Hesse and Kafka, and now I am trying to move up to Gustav Schwab, Zweig and Mann. I can barely stay with the story in die Bekenntnisse des Hochstaplers Felix Krull and some basic greek stories translated into german, but I am getting better. It helps immensely to be able to understand difficult literature texts when moving into technical or the more difficult newspaper articles.
