Can I interact with the AI teacher?

You can’t chat directly with Sandra’s AI twin (at least not yet). But she does guide you through exercises, tests, interactive video quizzes, and the full Icelandic AI story featuring our two main characters (Ásgeir og Monika). If you need real human help, you can always message us in the community or send an email. We’ll do our best to get back to you quickly.

Within the community section, you can tag ‘Icelandic AI’ just like how you would on Facebook and Sandra be monitoring this daily to help you out with her real human brain (during non-crazy hours, of course).

Is this a live class?

No, this isn’t a live class. All course modules are fully on-demand, so you can learn whenever it fits your schedule. If you want to power through a course in a week, go for it; if you prefer a slower pace, that works too. We’ll host live webinars occasionally, but those are mainly for showcasing new features and upcoming courses.

Are Icelandic AI courses supported by Vinnumálastofnun (VMST), and how does it work?

Yes. Vinnumálastofnun (VMST) has confirmed that foreign job seekers registered with them can apply for a study grant for Icelandic AI courses.

If your application is approved, you may receive reimbursement through your allocated study grant. The exact amount depends on your individual entitlement and is determined by VMST.

Importantly, unlike traditional language school courses, there is no requirement to submit attendance or meet minimum attendance thresholds for Icelandic AI courses. This means you can complete the course fully on your own schedule without additional reporting.

The process is straightforward:

Step 1: Purchase your course
Step 2: Complete the VMST study grant application
Step 3: Submit your proof of purchase

How long does it take to complete one course?

It really depends on your pace and commitment, which is the true beauty of a digital course. Some learners move quickly, others prefer a steady rhythm. After your first course, you’ll see your exact learning time, since we track it for all users in your dashboard. For most people, around 4 weeks is the sweet spot. It gives you enough time to let the language sink in without rushing. Go at your own pace where you learn best and trust the process.

Will Icelandic Unions reimburse the cost of the course?

Yes, in most cases, absolutely.
Most Icelandic unions reimburse 75-90% of the cost of Icelandic language courses. If you’ve been a member of your union for at least six consecutive months, you’re usually eligible for support. The only catch? Every union has its own rules, so it’s worth dropping them a quick message to confirm if you’re unsure.
