But after Icelandic!

If it is anything like Icelandic - I can speak passable Swedish, but it was no use at all in Iceland.

I am totally focussed on reading-understanding Not to speak & even listen From what I've gathered, Icelandic has purposefully expelled "impure" ungermanic words, and purposefully kept the influence of Old-Norse But for most of the inter-germanic stem/word I learn, the icelandic ones make sense

Maybe there are mistakes I correct them all along my learning

And it goes on and on This is the current bottom of my list, where I add the words I have to work on I don't know if this learning approach is more #comparativelinguistics or #crosslinguistics

Simply as personnal remark: I use #nederlands #nederlandsetaal as network over all germanic variations It works for me I have not dug the split between english-dutch-frisian & german-scandiniavian -> I do not know where my mental model is flawed For me Scandinavian SV-DA-NO maps nicely to Dutch

But I am still super novice in scandinavian By "maps nicely" I mean in the domain of cognates, when I decypher/decode words from scandinvian language, for intuition I try to reshape them as "germanic" drifts over Dutch morphems & stems I get the feeling they are closer compared to German spelling
