Episode 721 - AUÐSKILIÐ - SIMPLE ICELANDIC LEARNING / REYKJAVÍK CITY MULTICULTURAL POLICY

Today on RÚV English Radio, a double episode: our usual learning Icelandic show, and the policies shaping multiculturalism within the City of Reykjavík over the next four years.

First, some more bite-sized Icelandic language learning, in this week's new episode of Auðskilið.

Each week, as part of our regular programming, RÚV English Radio hopes to assist with the learning of Icelandic.

In weekly shows, called Auðskilið - which means "easily understood" - you can follow along with a recent news story, written and read in a simple form of Icelandic.

Here's today's episode, about new laws in Iceland around disability. Find the accompanying text here:

Then, Darren heads to City Hall, and speaks to Sabine Leskopf, chair of Reykjavik Human Rights Council, about the city's multiculturalism policies and the consultation which is now underway. (https://reykjavik.is/en/news/2025/multicultural-policy-enters-public-consultation)
