iceland wants to be your friend

and what do friends do when they come from different cultures and countries? they teach each other words! ok, usually of the rude variety - i can swear in hungarian, german and fijian - but also some usefulness creeps in along the way. and remember, each icelandic word "has been hand-made for you by actual humans".

out of all the Fanta teachers in these subtitled Japanese adverts , I think "Mr Blackbeard" is my favourite (known in the UK as "pop up pirate")
