Snjohus’ Word of the Day mailing list service is a free that provides those who sign up a way to add vocabulary and special insight into Icelandic. One of Snjohus’ founders (Ágúst) is a language enthusiast and thought it would be cool to increase the world’s awareness of Icelandic (and German) by offering the “Word of the Day” mailing list service. A unique Icelandic word (and German if you sign up for the German Word of the Day mailing list) is sent out to all participants on the list along with its English translation and examples of use plus a comment explaining the origin of the word or related topics.
Snjohus’ Word of the day Mailing list was started as an effort of mine to help my foreign colleagues at a computer game company in Iceland to learn more of the language. With time the list grew until it became quite unmanageable. This is why the process has now been digitalized and automated. The word of the day still has to be picked and the examples and comment written down but the rest of the process has been coded away, leaving only the interesting parts of writing down words and comments.

WORD OF THE DAY
Snjohus doesn’t have a lot of content at the moment as almost all of our products are either on the drawing board or under development. One service that has been implemented though is the Word of the Day mailing list. One of Snjohus’ founders (Ágúst) is a language geek and thought it would be cool to increase the world’s awareness of Icelandic (and German) by offering a free “Word of the Day” mailing list service. A unique Icelandic word (and German if you sign up for the German Word of the Day mailing list) is sent out to all participants on the list along with its English translation and examples of use.
