2.0 out of 5 stars
Useful conversations; poor recordings.,
By Jack Shipley (Shipley943@aol.com) (Lake Tahoe, California USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Icelandic Conversations (Audio Cassette)
The "Icelandic Converstaions" cassette tapes contain lots of useful phrases for the student of Icelandic, and the transcription is the only written material I know of containing English and Icelandic side-by-side, which is a great tool for learning. However, the recording was done long ago on primitive equipment, and it's quality is so poor as to be almost unintelligible. The speakers talk really fast and often kind of mumble. The result is useless unless you can re-record the tapes digitally, boosting the high frequencies and slowing down the speed. There is also too much time wasted on between-conversation English instruction, and the written transcription contains several errors. Plus, in my copy at least, the transcription is missing one complete page. Buy it, because there is nothing else available, but the whole thing needs to be re-done.
