Learning

I bought the Colloquial Icelandic Course for Beginners by Daisy L.
Neijmann. It is a book, two cassettes and two CDs. I think with this
and help from this group i will learn my ancesstors language. Seeing
that i only speak American english it will be a long road. Will this
be a good step to take? And then polish my icelandic through this
group?
