The fucked up pronunciation in Icelandic comes from when you put to Ls together, e.g. Eyjafjallajökull. It makes an almost click sound. You can hear it on the wiki below.
similar to th as in the English word thick, or a (usually apical) voiced alveolar non-sibilant fricative [ð̠],[2][3] similar to th as in the English word the
V and F are basically the same sound, except V is voiced. Alternate between them like VVVVVVVVVVVVVFFFFFFFFFVVVVVVVVVFFFFFF while touching your throat, you’ll feel the throat vibrate while saying V but not for F
Not usually. “Not” has my tongue against the top of my mouth, just back from the base of the teeth. But if we’re talking about Lindt chocolate, that has your tongue against your teeth and you pull it back, making that sharp release of air. That’s the thorn sound.
I have questions for Iceland; mostly about how to pronounce ð but we’ll get to that later
a museum? when it comes to phalluses i believe it is the museum: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icelandic_Phallological_Museum

Is that flacid or erect length?
Edit: its erect length. When flacid, it was 25cm long
More or less like the english th. Thorn (letter)
Sort of. ð is the Icelandic rendering for both edh and thorn, depending on context. Edh is voiced, thorn isn’t.
It’s the “unvoiced” part that confuses me
voiced th is like this, that, mother
unvoiced th like thick, thimble, thirty
notice how the voiced th has a buzzing vocalization during the th sound, you can feel your teeth buzzing as you say the th in this
but when you pronounce thirty that buzzing is absent and the first buzzing starts with the i (the vowel is the first voiced part).
Should do the trick, no?
That’s what she said?
Sadly not.
Truth.

eth, not thorn
It’s pronounced like the “th” in “weather.”
Th
Like a T, but slide your tongue forward a little so it’s against your teeth
do you not have your tongue against the teeth when saying T?
