Hæ, ég á spurning
So um now I'm learning Islenska lesson 2, and because I don't have a dictionary, so it's kind of tricky for me to understand every word of its dialogue, here's my guessing about some phrases, I'm not sure if it's correct

1.
-- Hvað ertu að gera hérna?
-- ég er hér á tölvunámskeiði.

so in this second sentence, námskeið is used in dative form because it kind of refers to a location?

2.
-- Ferðu oft til Reykjavíkur?
-- Já, ég fer oft á námskeið og ég á líka frændfólk hér.

well, in this sentence, námskeið is in accusative because it means the motion, someone goes to something?

Answer

@Thordur
Thank you for your correction and info

Answer

Laukrétt!
This rule that you have figured out always applies with motion.
However the title should be corrected to:
Ég er með spurningu.
Ég á is usually something material that you have in your possession or own.

Answer

sorry for late reply, I think it's like that because according to my limited knowledge of German and Old English.

Answer

Já, það er rétt ef mér skjátlast ekki.
