Learning Faroese
It is unusual for Faroese to be taught at universities outside the Faroes, although it is occasionally included in Scandinavian studies; University College London and the University of Copenhagen have course options in Faroese for students reading Scandinavian Studies. Most students, therefore, learn it autodidactically from books, by listening to Faroese on radio and through correspondence with Faroese people. A good opportunity for learning Faroese is also by visiting websites.
The University of the Faroe Islands offers an annual three-week Summer Institute which includes:
- Forty-five lessons of Faroese grammar and language exercises.
- Fifteen lectures on linguistics, culture (oral poetry and modern literature), society and nature.
- Two excursions to places of historical and geographical interest.

Famous quotes containing the word learning:
“The value of a family is that it cushions and protects while the individual is learning ways of coping. And a supportive social system provides the same kind of cushioning for the family as a whole.”
