I enjoy discovering new music, watching gripping movies, trying out different foods, and of course learning new languages. It probably also comes as no surprise that I love travelling! I really like having interesting conversations with people, whether they be long-time friends or someone I just met, and I adapt the conversation to what they feel most comfortable talking about.
Dialects I speak:
1) English - standard Canadian accent
2) Icelandic - standard Reykjavík accent
Ich als Lehrkraft
Though only on an informal basis, I have always enjoyed teaching others since I know clearly what it is like to be on the other end as a student and aim to make students as comfortable as possible. I help motivate students to achieve success by concentrating on the goals that they have set for themselves. I keep teaching balanced by focusing on accurate pronunciation, correct grammar, and even additional areas such as language register (spoken vs. written language, slang, etc.).
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Since I realize that I am on the student's time, I cater my lessons to what they want. Some may want strictly grammar-oriented lessons, others may want focus on speaking or writing, and others may not be sure at all. In whichever case, I will recommend learning materials that may be of interest to them for their situation and guide them along at the pace they desire.
Robert is a fantastic teacher of Icelandic - my lessons have so far back a perfect combination of pronunciation and conversation practice with cultural nuggets and real-life explanations of what is actually spoken vs what is taught in textbooks.

Robert is a fantastic, enthusiastic and talented teacher. I very much enjoyed my lesson with him and look forward to the next. He designs a lesson style to meet the objectives of the student, and is a very well schooled (quite impressively so) in how to teach a language, and highly educated. I’d highly recommend him without any reservation whatsoever!
