Language

Although Icelandic is the official language of the country, English is widely spoken and understood throughout Iceland, making it an effortless transition for English-speaking expats. English proficiency in both speaking and writing is impressively high among the Icelandic population due to a strong emphasis on learning the language in the education system from an early age. Whether you're navigating through the city, shopping in local markets, or communicating at the workplace to other Icelanders, you'll find that English is commonly used, ensuring a smooth day-to-day experience. From personal interactions with newly found friends to professional engagements, you can comfortably communicate and connect using English in Iceland.
