Bara Tala Challenge

Let's improve our Icelandic together at the Family and Children's Services of Hafnarfjörður!

The 'Just Talk' challenge is intended for staff of the Family and Child Services Department of Hafnarfjörður who have a mother tongue other than Icelandic. The aim of the project is to support staff in improving their Icelandic skills, increase their confidence in communication, and create more opportunities to use Icelandic in their daily work.

Participants receive free access to the Icelandic language learning app 'Bara tala' to learn at their own pace and at a time that suits them. With regular use, participants can build up their vocabulary, improve their Icelandic skills and monitor their own progress.

The challenge will run throughout November. Participants complete exercises in the smart app and collect points for their participation. At the end of the period, a final event will be held where all participants will receive a certificate of participation. Prizes will also be awarded to those who have collected the most points in the challenge.

We encourage all staff to take part in the challenge and contribute to strengthening Icelandic together at the Family and Children's Services Department of Hafnarfjörður.
