VegaLingo is now available on iOS and Android
Learn Icelandic with VegaLingo, now available on iOS and Android with structured courses, voice practice, and real exams.
VegaLingo is now available to download on the App Store for iOS and on the Google Play Store for Android. About one in five people living in Iceland today was not born here. VegaLingo was built for adults living in or moving to Iceland who want real fluency, rather than short streak games. The app is free to download and requires no credit card to start. Interface explanations are available in English, Spanish, and Arabic.
A structured path from A1.1 to C2.2
The app offers a course covering 12 levels from A1.1 to C2.2 on the CEFR scale. Every vocabulary card includes audio recorded by native Icelandic speakers. Level A1.1 is free to use, covering basic sentences, pronouns, and greetings such as góðan daginn, which means good morning or good day.
Foundations packs guide you through Icelandic pronunciation and alphabet basics, including letters such as þ (thorn), ð (eth), æ (ash), and ö. Packs also cover topics such as numbers, weather, family, body parts, and everyday greetings.
Voice conversation with Katla
Katla is a voice and text tutor inside the app. You can speak out loud or type to practice conversational Icelandic. Katla adapts to your level, corrects slips in line, and keeps a transcript so you can save useful phrases. The app includes two minutes of free tutor time each day.
Word-by-word translation and grammar breakdown
When reading sentences like Ég ætla að fá kaffi., which means "I am going to get coffee", standard translations do not explain how the grammar works. VegaLingo provides two translation views: Quick translation for general meaning, and Decompose view. Decompose breaks sentences down word by word to show grammatical form, gender, and case, checked against the BÍN dictionary.
Quizzes and real past exams
To help test your knowledge, VegaLingo features 10-round practice quizzes drawn randomly from your selected level. The app also includes four real past exams from Háskóli Íslands and the Icelandic citizenship test, spanning levels A1 to B2. Two of these exams include original listening audio, and every answer is explained at the end.
