Here at the RÚV English Podcast we know how difficult it can be to learn Icelandic. Hearing it often, slowly and simply can be a great help. RÚV's Atli Sigþórsson looks after the Auðskilið ("easy to understand") pages of the RÚV website, writing the news in a simplified form of Icelandic for anyone who might find that useful.

We will regularly go through some of those pages with Atli and see what we can pick up.

Today, a look at the 49,000 Icelandic citizens who don't live here, and the recent good news for northern felines!
