Why Icelandic People are Shockingly Different (Speak Viking) #047

Try Icelandic classes here: https://www.speakvikingcourses.com/Store-Marina I sit down with Oskar from Iceland, to talk about Icelandic culture. Is it true that Icelanders are all practically cousins? Is being too polite rude in Iceland and how does Icelandic communication differs in general? What does Oskar think of traditional gender roles and more. Get in touch with Oskar: https://www.instagram.com/speakviking/ Each week I will interview guests from all around the world on the topics of culture, connection and of course, dating. The goal is to go as deep as possible and to really understand where we all come from and how much culture influences our life. 🎙️ Want to be a guest on the Podcast? https://forms.gle/J7CjyY1s7jKkLDEa9 Support the Podcast (money will be used for operational budget/equipment) https://tr.ee/0SzhdgntdC Make your Podcast with Streamyard and get $10 in credit: https://shorturl.at/knzA2 Youtube Channel: ‪@DatingBeyondBorders‬ / datingbeyondborders / datingbeyondborders Editing by Ivan Popovic: https://shorturl.at/rOsC5 Instagram: @i__popi__ Tune in on other Podcast Platforms 🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4aoPPtJxxcP974vv0Ly95g?si=6c7fc4a418b44a84 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/dating-beyond-borders/id1718400067 0:00 Intro 1:48 Why is Icelandic communication different? 7:11 Are Icelandic people all related? 11:14 Do Icelandic people prefer dating foreigners? 15:03 How are Icelandic people different from Scandinavians? 19:38 Are Icelandic people happy? 28:37 What phrases do you need to know in Icelandic? 35:14 Do Icelandic people date their cousins? 42:33 Popular first date in Iceland 47:40 What do Icelandic men think of gender roles? 56:00 What do Icelandic people think about marriage? 1:03:00 Best advice for learning a new language 1:06:00 Advice for traveling to Iceland and meeting people
