Sometimes, being new in a foreign country can be hard. It can also be hilarious, rewarding, and beautiful.... but still really, really hard. Join Sonja and Kelechi, two foreigners in Iceland, as they do their best to make sense of the process of growing new roots in a foreign land, whilst also creating a space where diversity in Iceland is platformed and celebrated.

Every week, Sonja and Kelechi will discuss a topic of interest to foreigners in Iceland and share stories of fellow ~Innlendigar~ who are making waves and changing the Icelandic cultural landscape for the better!

    20. I still don't speak Icelandic

    In this episode, we revisit our love/hate relationship with the beautiful Icelandic language. We talk about where we are at on our own journeys to learning the language, and we also dive into the treacherous comments section to get some insight into what some (some!!) native Icelanders feel about non-Icelandic speakers working in customer-facing roles. It's a juicy one.
