Websters English Icelandic Crossword Puzzles
Even if you do not like crossword puzzles, you may end up loving these. Designed for mother-tongue or totally fluent speakers of Icelandic wanting to improve their English skills, the puzzles may also be agreeably diverting to English speakers. They are formatted so that each puzzle may be solved in 15 to 30 minutes. The vocabulary gradually becomes harder throughout puzzles thence increasing the challenge as you progress. Each book has 100 puzzles and each puzzle covers numerous 30 word pairs (equaling 3000 challenges!). These are veritably pleasant, if not addictive, crossword puzzles for language learning. Learning a language is always difficult. To ease the pain, hints are provided in little script at the bottom of each page, altho these are chosen to prevent an engineered solution to the puzzle. Full solutions are provided in the back of the book. These two features (hints and verifiable solutions), strength the reader to decipher a word’s meaning and serves to improve vocabulary retention and understanding. One recent reviewer of this series cited “As a Peace Corps Volunteer … this is unquestionably a fun way to keep up the language achievements … The series has a whole bunch of “rarely spoken” languages, widely unknown to us in the Western world.” Another reviewer notes: “Good teacher as it has words listed beneath that are in puzzle so the clues are there if you need them.” Public domain translations for Icelandic contributed to Webster’s Online Dictionary used in these puzzles may have originated from uncited volunteers, native speakers, professional translators, field linguists and academics (not by the editor of the puzzles).
