Hello, my name is Bergur.
I live in the capital city in the Faroe Islands, Tórshavn, in a cozy apartment in the same house as my parents. From here, I have direct access to our cozy backyard with.
The skyline from my solid living room window is formed by six humble rows of life-affirming potato plants surrounded by a beautiful DIY pallet-sized greenhouse which was the pride of my summer last year. It's still standing strong.
Finding new hobbies and interests comes easily to me. I'm not a specialist in any area, but I have something about everything and consider myself a student of life.
I am fond of language, history and culture in general. I'm always studying one or two languages.Me as a Teacher
I try to embrace diversity (Faroese: "Fjølbroytni", Danish: "Mangfoldighed") by simply being myself.
I love how languages share so many similarities that can be analysed and interpreted. One of my favourite things is to uncover a unique trait is uncovered, some description or nuance that I didn’t know existed and that can help me appreciate life and the world in an even broader way (no pun intended).
I believe that languages are the peak of human civilisations’ endeavours to distill existence as we experience it, felt or imagined into a concentrate or an essence that can be displayed for prestige or even better, humbly handed down to future generations.My lessons & teaching style
I use examples and analogies and I like to include personal stories into my lessons. I think that almost everything can be a learning experience.
I can teach using English, Faroese or Danish. I'm a nurse, so not an actual teacher.
My focus is to adjust each lesson to each individual student. I try to assess my student's level and disposition and I try to be mindful of their goals. I'm also open to a more dynamic learning experience or other alternatives if the student prefers that.
From what I have been told, I am good at teaching pronunciation.
As long as you remember that I am not a professional, I will do my best to deliver a high quality lesson.My teaching material

Bergur is a fantastic tutor. He is passionate about learning languages and very knowledgable about the Faroe Islands and the Faroese language and its history. He is friendly, enthusiastic, patient and very good at explaining grammatical structures and rules. Most importantly, his lessons are fun! Highly recommended 👍

How often is it the case that your teacher can reference a saga that has anything even slightly to do with one's jobs. (In this case, seals, or rather kópakonan, a saga about a seal woman). As a fan of legends and sagas I was very happy for this turn of events. Bergur is so flexible in his teaching that I'm positive he can turn absolutely anything into a learning opportunity!

Bergur was flexible and let me lead - something some tutors find difficult. Great help, the right amount, and some fun cultural connections, too. Faroese is great, Bergur is great.

It has been such a great, informative past (2) months learning Faroese with you, Bergur. I feel confident in what I am saying and trying to convey. Still plenty of more advanced discussions and grammar to be had, but such a great foundation. I will be practicing as much as possible while í Havn og vit síggjast skjótt!

Hann er tann bara kallur ið hvør ætlar at lesa og læra teg Føroyskt sum tungumálið og eisini hesin víkingur er bróðir og vinur hann eg og.
