Learning Icelandic can honestly feel overwhelming. If you've ever tried to learn the language, you probably already know that there are a lot of scattered resources online, different classes, private tutors, apps, YouTube videos, grammar books, and random websites that may or may not help depending on your learning style. One of the questions I get asked the most is how to actually learn Icelandic and what resources are worthwhile. Why I Wanted to Try Icelandic AI When I first heard about a program called Icelandic AI, I was really intrigued. Not because I thought it would magically make anyone fluent overnight, but because I was curious whether there was finally one platform that could bring many of these learning tools together in a more organized and comprehensive way. Just for some context, I've been living in Iceland since 2016, so almost 10 years now. I'm at an intermediate level in Icelandic, and over the years I've taken multiple Icelandic classes, worked with private tutors, studied on my own, and I regularly speak Icelandic with my boyfriend and his family. So while I'm definitely not claiming to be fluent, I do feel like I have a good understanding of what makes a language-learning resource actually useful. I also want to be transparent that I am collaborating with Icelandic AI in the sense that I reached out to them because I wanted access to the platform to test it out and share my thoughts with my audience. However, this is not a paid review, and I do not benefit financially if people sign up through the platform. I genuinely just wanted to see if this was a resource worth recommending because I know how difficult it can be to figure out where to even start with Icelandic. First Impressions of the Icelandic AI Platform Overall, I have to say that Icelandic AI is one of the more comprehensive Icelandic-learning platforms I've seen so far. The platform was created by Sandra, and the “AI” part of the name is actually referring to her AI twin or clone. So instead of it being like ChatGPT or Claude where the AI is actively learning you and responding dynamically, it's more that Sandra has created an AI version of herself that guides you through the lessons using her voice and likeness. There are also additional AI characters named Monica and Oscar who help throughout the platform as well. At the time of recording this episode, I've completed about 55% of Level 1, which has already taken me around 49 hours, and I've also started Level 2. Even as someone who already has background knowledge in Icelandic, I've still found it useful as a review tool and as a way to reinforce concepts I've already learned. One thing I also appreciate is that the platform doesn't feel rushed or surface level. There's a lot of depth built into it, and you can tell that a huge amount of work went into organizing the information in a structured way. It's not just random vocabulary words thrown at you. There's an actual progression to how concepts are introduced and built upon over time. Now let's get into the pros and cons. The Pros of the Icelandic AI Learning Platform 1. The platform is extremely comprehensive All of the core things you need to learn Icelandic are included: grammar, conjugation, sentence structure, pronunciation, vocabulary, and the four Icelandic cases. There is a lot of depth to the lessons. 2. It's easy to access and flexible You can work through the lessons on your own time and from anywhere. Right now it works best on a computer, but they mentioned they are working on a mobile-friendly version as well. 3. It can potentially be reimbursed through Icelandic unions If you live and work in Iceland and are part of a union, there's a possibility you can use your educational reimbursement funds toward the course because it has educational certification. 4. There's a community section The platform has a community tab where you can ask questions and interact with the Icelandic AI team, which is helpful when you need clarification. 5. There are pronunciation checks You can record yourself speaking into your microphone and the platform gives feedback in the form of a percentage score from 0–100 based on pronunciation accuracy. I actually found this surprisingly useful. 6. The platform is visually engaging The lessons are interactive, visually appealing, and easy to follow. There are a lot of graphics and clickable elements that make it feel more engaging than just staring at blocks of text. 7. The lessons are well organized The progression makes sense. You start with greetings and introductions, then move into present tense and foundational concepts before building into more advanced grammar and sentence structure. 8. There is a huge amount of material Honestly, there is a lot in here. It can feel a little overwhelming at first, but in a good way. You're definitely not going to run out of things to study anytime soon. 9. There are quizzes and flashcards The platform includes quizzes, review sections, and flashcards to help reinforce what you've learned. 10. You receive a certificate of completion At the end of the levels, you receive a certificate showing you completed the coursework, which is a nice touch. One thing I kept thinking while going through the lessons was that I really wish something like this had existed when I first started learning Icelandic years ago. Back then, I felt like I was constantly piecing together resources from all over the internet. This feels much more centralized and organized, which can make a huge difference for beginners who don't even know where to start. The Cons of the Icelandic AI Learning Platform 1. It's not conversational AI This is probably the most important thing to understand going into the platform. The AI is not actively talking back and forth with you the way ChatGPT or Claude would. Sandra's AI twin guides you through lessons, but it's not a live conversational experience. 2. You still need conversation practice outside the platform If your goal is becoming conversational, you'll still need to practice speaking with real people outside of Icelandic AI, whether that's friends, tutors, classmates, or language exchange partners. 3. The pronunciation feedback could be improved While the pronunciation checker is helpful, I do wish it played back your voice or directly compared your pronunciation to a native speaker's recording. I think that would make the feedback even more useful. 4. You need to be self-motivated Because this is self-paced, it requires discipline. Unlike in-person classes where there's accountability and scheduled meetings, you have to consistently show up for yourself and stay committed. 5. Advanced learners may need to wait for more content Right now the platform includes Levels 1 through 3, and I've heard more levels are coming. But if you're already intermediate or advanced, you may move through the current material fairly quickly and have to wait for additional content. My Overall Thoughts I've genuinely enjoyed using Icelandic AI, and I plan to continue going through the lessons because I think it's a really valuable review tool even at my current level. At the same time, I still don't believe there's one perfect resource that can fully teach you Icelandic on its own. I think learning this language usually requires a combination of resources, consistency, practice, and patience. But as far as comprehensive platforms go, Icelandic AI is definitely one of the better ones I've personally seen. I also think it's important to remember that learning Icelandic is a long-term process. This is not an “I studied for two weeks and now I'm fluent” type of language. It takes repetition, exposure, practice, and patience. So having a resource that keeps everything organized and accessible in one place can genuinely be really helpful. If you want to check it out for yourself, here is the link to Icelandic AI. As always, it's completely up to you, but hopefully hearing my experience gives you a better idea of whether it might fit your learning style and goals. Random Fact of the Episode One random fact about the Icelandic language is that Icelandic has changed so little over time that modern Icelanders can still read the medieval Icelandic sagas written hundreds of years ago with relatively little difficulty. Compared to English, which has changed dramatically over the centuries, Icelandic has remained incredibly well preserved, which is one of the reasons why the language is both fascinating and challenging to learn. Icelandic Word of the Episode The Icelandic word of the episode is “Æfa sig”, which means “to practice.” And honestly, I think that's one of the biggest lessons when it comes to learning Icelandic. There's no perfect app, no perfect teacher, and no perfect method. A lot of it really comes down to consistently practicing, even when the language feels difficult or awkward.

Candace Thille is an authority in learning science, educational technology, and AI-enabled learning environments. She is closing the two-way gap between the science of learning research and the hands-on practice of instruction to help students learn better. Timely and targeted feedback with the opportunity to apply that feedback is critical to learning, Thille says, and this is an area where AI supporting humans excels. She imagines a day in the not-too-distant future when human educators and AI-enabled assistants unite to help students learn faster and better than ever before. Learning is not a spectator sport, and AI can help us engage with learners – and educators – in new ways, Thille tells host Russ Altman on this episode of Stanford Engineering's The Future of Everything podcast.

Educate.ie has launched EdPal, a new digital learning platform developed specifically for Irish post-primary schools and shaped through direct collaboration with teachers. Post-primary enrolments are at record levels, with more than 425,000 students enrolled in September 2024, while workload pressure among teachers remains a persistent concern. At the same time, digital access in homes with children is now widespread, making consistency between school and home learning a practical necessity rather than an optional extra. EdPal brings lesson delivery, student engagement, and assessment together in one structured platform aligned with the Irish curriculum. Unlike a traditional learning management system, which typically begins as an empty framework for schools to populate with their own materials, EdPal is built by an Irish publisher and comes fully integrated with Educate.ie's, curriculum-aligned ebooks and digital resources. It provides schools with a ready-to-use teaching and learning environment from day one. The focus is on reducing administrative burden for teachers, improving clarity for parents, and giving students a clearer, more consistent learning experience across school and home. The platform is currently being developed and refined through pilot programmes in post-primary schools, with teacher feedback directly informing how it functions in day-to-day classroom use. Sinead Keogh, Director of Publishing at Educate.ie, said the platform was built in response to what teachers consistently say they need. "Teachers are under constant pressure to balance curriculum delivery, assessment and communication with students and families. What we heard again and again was the need for tools that are practical, intuitive and genuinely aligned with how Irish classrooms work. EdPal was built around that reality." The launch comes at a time when schools are placing increased focus on digital tools that are appropriate for the classroom and straightforward to use day to day. EdPal has been developed with a strong emphasis on clarity and structure, supporting teachers rather than adding another layer of complexity. Founded in Ireland, Educate.ie is widely used by schools for its curriculum-aligned textbooks and digital resources. The launch of EdPal marks the next stage in the company's evolution, extending its role from content publisher to a broader digital learning partner for Irish schools. As part of this expansion, Educate.ie has established a new Dublin base in Dundrum to support its growing digital and education teams. The company expects to create up to 50 roles over the next three years as EdPal scales nationally, spanning technology, content development, customer support, and education.

Today was a truly incredible day. As you know, COBT began in the spring of 2020 with the original mission of trying to share better and more informed energy macro perspectives with the energy-curious world. Over the past five and a half years, it has evolved to become something much bigger, a platform to share a wide range of energy perspectives. Today marked a watershed moment in the history of energy education. As noted in the official press release linked here, Bob Zorich, Partner and Co-Founder of EnCap Investments, made an extraordinarily generous donation to Arizona State University with the sole purpose of advancing energy education. Bob is an alumnus of ASU's Thunderbird School of Global Management, and the investment will directly support energy education and innovation, advancing practical, fact-based solutions to global energy challenges. For those of you who are regular listeners or viewers, you may remember we hosted Dr. Michael Crow, President of ASU, on the podcast in September (episode linked here). What's particularly exciting about ASU is the University's commitment to reimagining education, scaling access, and transforming workforce development. Bob Zorich, as a highly accomplished energy business leader, is passionate about improving energy education and seems to have found a phenomenal partner in ASU. In this week's segment, we broadcast live from ASU's rollout of the new energy education initiative here in Houston. We caught up with Michael and Bob for a quick conversation on a very busy day to discuss the initiative, Bob's passion for expanding energy knowledge, ASU's commitment to fostering problem-solving, the university's diverse student body and global reach, and more. You'll also see Michael and Bob's panel from the event discussing the initiative in detail. We greatly appreciate Michael and Bob for including Veriten in this exciting event. As a wrap up, we are delighted to share that this week marks our 300th regularly scheduled COBT episode. We appreciate the Veriten community and the many great guests who have joined us along the way. We look forward to the next 300 episodes and where they will take us. All we can promise is that we'll continue following our curiosity wherever it leads us and remain committed to letting our guests openly talk about their perspectives so you can form your own views on the complex energy, power, and environmental issues of the day. Our best to you all!

Grinds360 has announced the launch of its platform focused on supporting students in the Junior Cycle, offering support that gives their members unrestricted access covering 11 subjects. This is the first of its kind solution, which follows a year of success for the business having entered the Senior Cycle market in September 2024. This expansion signals the growing demand for digital and hybrid solutions to learning, with students across Ireland now having access to affordable, high quality grinds. Founded by Ronan Murdock and Brendan Kavanagh, Grinds360 was created out of a shared commitment to both accessibility and excellence in education. The team of dedicated teachers working at Grinds360 recognised a growing gap in Ireland's traditional grinds industry, with its solution posed to democratise access to grinds across the country. With the combination of advanced technology, personalised support, flexibility and teacher quality already working to lessen the pressure on senior cycle students, Grinds360 has established itself as the go-to, digital alternative to traditional grind schools. This approach is now being offered to students preparing for their Junior Cycle exams, combining some of Ireland's leading teachers with cutting-edge technology and an innovative hybrid model. Grinds360 is offering Junior Cycle students and parents two flexible learning plans: a One Year Plan for €899 or a Two Year Plan for students starting in 2nd Year for €1,399. This includes weekly live grinds (available currently for Maths, English, Irish, and Science), on-demand lessons and online masterclasses in 7 other subjects, textbooks, digital notes, a study skills programme, and access to the online Summer Irish Programme, ensuring they have the tools and support needed to succeed. "We're bringing the same successful model from Leaving Cert to Junior Cycle, one membership provides unlimited access to all 11 subjects and every revision course, no restrictions. Plus, members get live weekly grinds in English, Irish, Maths, and Science. Tapping into how young people normally interact with and retain information like this makes learning more intuitive, fun and engaging. "This is especially important for Junior Cycle students entering secondary school, who are often gaining access to digital tools in the classroom for the first time. Something as simple as having access to a quick lesson on the daily commute to school is setting a new benchmark for how education is being delivered in Ireland," said CEO and Co-Founder of Grinds 360, Ronan Murdock, speaking on this news. One year on from launch, Grinds360 has achieved explosive growth with over 3,000 paying members and 18,000 app users. With 65% of signups coming from outside of Dublin to date, the edtech company now wants to give junior cycle students the same access. Brendan Kavanagh, Chairman and Co-Founder, added: "We've already seen our approach enhance Leaving Certificate preparation in Ireland, now we're doing the same for students ahead of the Junior Cycle exams. The earlier young people receive tailored support, unique to their needs and ways of learning, the better. But no student should feel forced to move to a grind school to access this support. This breaks the bond with their school, teachers, and classmates. Grinds360 offers young people a better solution and a choice, and it's a privilege to be a part of driving this change forward." Students can now sign up for Grinds360 on their website, with grinds in both the Leaving and Junior Cycle. Subjects available at Junior Cycle level include English, Irish, Maths, Science, Geography, History, Business Studies, Home Economics, Spanish, German and French. See more stories here.

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, Stewart Alsop hosts ~littel-wolfur to explore spaced repetition, the dynamics of learning algorithms, and the philosophy behind Urbit. They break down Urbit's promise as a peer-to-peer platform with roots in a deep, almost otherworldly commitment to resilience and a long time horizon. Alongside ~littel-wolfur's take on memory as the strange balance of laziness and persistence, they dig into shrubbery, Urbit's latest namespace innovation, and the challenge of creating tools that last. From generational shifts to the philosophy of technology, Stewart and ~littel-wolfur contemplate whether Urbit's rebellious craftsmanship might be the foundation for a more enduring internet. You can connect with ~littel-wolfur on Twitter.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction to the Crazy Wisdom Podcast00:22 Understanding Spaced Repetition01:39 Personal Experiences with Spaced Repetition04:08 Challenges in Spaced Repetition Software06:45 Building a Flashcard App on Urbit09:03 Introduction to Shrubbery on Urbit13:26 The State of Urbit and Its Future22:01 The Long-Term Vision of Urbit and Bitcoin28:37 Balancing Internet Time with Parenthood29:37 Challenges of Urbit's Ease of Use30:22 New Blood in the Urbit Community31:15 Building Communities on Urbit32:38 Twitter's Complexities and Elon Musk's Influence41:02 AI's Role in Software Development49:52 Transhumanism and AI Art54:50 The Future of Craftsmanship in Programming55:45 Conclusion and Contact InformationKey InsightsThe Power and Paradox of Spaced Repetition: Stewart and ~littel-wolfur discuss spaced repetition as an ingenious blend of laziness and persistence. By setting reminders to review information just before it's forgotten, spaced repetition acts as an effortless yet powerful memory tool. Although the practice demands daily discipline, it becomes an invaluable mechanism for retaining knowledge across vast timescales.SuperMemo and Incremental Reading: ~littel-wolfur shares his experience with SuperMemo, the original spaced repetition software that takes the method even further. SuperMemo's “incremental reading” allows users to gradually extract information from lengthy texts, breaking down complex learning into manageable, spaced chunks. For ~littel-wolfur, this approach goes beyond mere memorization; it turns learning into an immersive, long-term commitment.The Urbit Experiment: Urbit, a decentralized peer-to-peer network and OS, represents a radical rethinking of the internet. Stewart and ~littel-wolfur examine Urbit's potential as a platform where users truly own and control their data, echoing ideals of early Web 1.0. As the “long-haul project” of the tech world, Urbit cultivates an almost timeless ethos, making it as much a social experiment as a computing system.Shrubbery and Namespace Innovation: A core element of Urbit, “shrubbery” introduces a namespace that enables users to organize, connect, and retrieve information from across their digital universe. ~littel-wolfur explains how shrubbery allows users to link pieces of data like conversation notes, wikis, and documents, making it a versatile learning platform on Urbit. The elegance of this integration hints at a future internet where information can be personalized and seamlessly connected.Craftsmanship and Digital Resilience: ~littel-wolfur and Stewart touch on the fading art of craftsmanship in tech, which often gets lost in the layers of abstractions that modern software relies on. For ~littel-wolfur, coding on Urbit feels like working in a digital woodshop, where the focus is on intentionality and precision rather than flashy or disposable tech. This philosophy of craftsmanship offers a refreshing take on the art of creation in software, hinting at the durability and authenticity Urbit hopes to embody.AI's Limitations and Overconfidence Trap: The episode also highlights the limitations of AI, especially when it encourages laziness or over-reliance. While AI can help automate routine tasks, ~littel-wolfur warns of its tendency to produce fragile, overly complex solutions that unravel under scrutiny. They caution that true understanding comes not from shortcuts, but from engaging deeply with the work—a point that resonates with their belief in disciplined learning practices like spaced repetition.The Value of Optimism and Long Time Horizons: Amid a society obsessed with quick wins and rapid monetization, Stewart and ~littel-wolfur see Urbit's culture as a refreshing outlier, filled with builders who value curiosity and long-term thinking. This “thousand-year mindset” stands in contrast to much of the tech industry, where projects are often driven by immediate financial returns. By embracing a philosophy that resists the pressure for instant success, Urbit aligns itself with a vision of digital infrastructure that, rather than fueling transient trends, aims to be a lasting foundation for generations to come.

Stuart Draper founded Stukent, an innovative ed-tech company that provides simulated internships for business students. Stukent started by focusing on high-quality digital marketing education for colleges and universities using up-to-date digital textbooks and content. They then added a simulation system for students to practice their digital marketing skills. Stukent grew steadily with less than $1M in outside funding, which helped them bridge the long and seasonal buying cycles of big schools. The team grew to over 100 employees and nearly $10 million in revenue serving marketing professors and their students.  In 2021, they engaged with Vista Point Advisors, an M&A advisor firm, to shop the company to prospective buyers and investors, eventually getting a majority investment from Tritium Partners. Stuart describes the M&A process, what worked well, and how he transitioned out of the company after two years of continued growth.  Podcast Sponsor – Cypress Growth Capital This week's podcast is sponsored by my friends at Cypress Growth Capital. For 15 years, Cypress has provided non-dilutive growth funding to bootstrapped SaaS founders, including many successful founders I've interviewed here on this podcast. Quote from Stuart Draper, founder of Stukent “When we officially sold a major part of our company to investors, we had a brief celebration. My CFO and I called each other and screamed as loud as we could on the phone in a fun moment. We got there, we did this. My family also took a big trip and I got a break. “But then it was back to work. I was still the CEO and I still run this thing and I've got new investors that also need returns. I'm going to go deliver for these guys. They gave me a big payday, so I'm going to make sure they have a win too. “After the second board meeting with our investors, I realized this is way harder than I thought. After eight board meetings and doubling the business again, I wasn't enjoying this as much anymore. The board meetings were hard for me. Prepping for them was super stressful. “So we found a new CEO for Stukent, and he's doing great. Now I get to sit back in my chair at the board meeting, listen in, share my advice and opinions and come back in three months.” Links Stuart Draper on LinkedIn Stukent on LinkedIn Stukent website Tritium Partners website The Practical Founders Podcast Tune into the Practical Founders Podcast for weekly in-depth interviews with founders who have built valuable software companies without big funding. Subscribe to the Practical Founders Podcast using your favorite podcast app. Get the weekly Practical Founders newsletter and podcast updates at practicalfounders.com.
