Faroese

Description

The aim of authors has been to write an up-to-date introductory course in Faroese for the learner to be able to use either by him- or herself or in a classroom environment. The course is designed for speakers of English (and includes American variants where the British English term might be unfamiliar). The Faroese language is presented in an everyday spoken style in the dialogues (including slang), and in various written styles in the reading passages (taken from literature, poetry, song, newspapers, menus, advertising, emails, text messages and so on). We have tried to cover as many styles and types of Faroese language as possible. There are undoubtedly gaps, and a course-book will never be able to teach you absolutely everything you need to know. However, a student working diligently through this course will become a competent speaker of Faroese and have a solid foundation for further study; suggestions for which can be found at the back of the grammar book.
