I'm interested in improving my English and learning some basics in Icelandic. If you would like to do an english-german exchange or would like to help an absolute beginner in Icelandic, feel free to contact me. I'm from the South of Germany and I'm studying social work.

    Yes, what DonHolgo said is right. But I would add some explanation. "Frau" as married women is often used with possessive adjective ( "seine Frau" (his wife), "meine Frau" (my wife), "deine Frau" (your wife). If somebody speaks about "die Frau" without any affiliation to somebody, it's mostly meant as "woman" in english. If somebody wants to say something about the status of a married woman, we call it simple "Ehefrau" (=wife). For example: "Ich bin eine Ehefrau." (I'm a wife.) "Ich bin eine Frau." (I'm a woman.) "Ich bin seine/deine Frau." (I'm his/your wife.)
