Icelandic ad #3: English classes
I was excited to see this ad in a very interesting and well-run museum in Hofsós that documents the mass emigration of Icelanders to Canada in the 1870s and 1880s (due to harsh winter and poor economy). Excited mainly because I teach English to non-natives too, and to see an ad for English teaching from so long ago is quite rare.
Instruction in English.
Those who want to learn the language both quickly and efficiently, especially America-travelers may receive instruction from Þorlákur O. Johnson, who has been in England for many years, and in London for a long time, where English is widely spoken best.
When one at a time the cost of teaching is two marks or 66 aurars.
When there are two, for each ... 50 aurars.
When three at one time, all for one krona.
If more than three, then by arrangement.
