That language learning part where you sound like a 3-year-old for a few months? You no longer have to do that in front of real, scary people. TVÍK takes you through 90 realistic simulations.
When will TVÍK be available?
We are aiming to start a pre-sale round with the first month of lessons in August 2024. The full app will launch later in the year.
Is TVÍK for everyone?
TVÍK is ideal for those who've attempted learinng Icelandic but are stuck between vocabulary-heavy apps and grammar-focused classes. If you're entirely new to the language, the learning curve will undoubtedly be steeper, but don't worry——TVÍK is equipped with every tool you'll need along the way. We also hope you're quite comfortable reading English.
Can I buy TVÍK for my employees?
Yes! Get in touch via email or +354 7645707.
What is the story of TVÍK?
After months of struggling to piece together a single sentence in Icelandic, even with a decent grasp of the vocabulary, Gamithra found herself thrown into the deep end of the pool working on a remote sheep farm in North Iceland where she had no chance other than to make all the mistakes she needed to gather the courage to speak to real humans. She daydreamed of combining her background in coding with the idea of throwing people in imaginary sheep farms, and in 2022, this vision won her Gulleggið, the largest idea competition in Iceland. The project has been in development since, fueled by grants from Rannís, Fræðslusjóður and Atvinnumál kvenna.
TVÍK is not built by Icelanders. TVÍK is built by people that learned Icelandic through blood, sweat and sheep s%@t to figure out what works and what doesn’t.
