Hello, I have just now discovered your lovely videos! Thankyou for this video in particular, this helps me a lot for my a-level studies. :) You've got a new subscriber!

Your voice is well-suited for audiobooks!

Lovely video, thank you. I'm often in that part of London, so hope to get there myself at some point.

Interesting video, thanks! Is the word gorming related to gormless?

Yellow Belly turn coats😂😂😂

The reason Marley is "dead to begin with" is that this novella was actually written by believers in spiritualism, not by Charles Dickens the skeptical lover of ghost stories. Or this is what my 15 years of intensive, independent research has revealed to me. The original authors of "A Christmas Carol," according to those research results, were an American couple named Mathew and Abby Whittier. Of course, if a student put this on an exam, he or she would be flunked for it (and probably called into the office for a parent-teacher conference). But it is the upcoming generation who will be more open to the possibility that all of Academia has been fooled by Charles Dickens' lies, the lies of his publicist John Forster, and the lies of organizations like the Dickens Fellowship who have enforced the official myth.

I enjoyed this poem very much. An interesting way of working which I will try.

Thank you so much, Professor Hagon, for your wonderful teaching.

Hello Professor Helen. My name is Sophie. I am so glad to discover your podcast. I believe this is a fantastic program. I speak three languages as well. Persian(Farsi), French, and English. As you may know, we have wonderful poets like Hazi, Rumi, and Khayam. Also many other wonderful contemporary poets. My goal is to be able to translate the Persian poems into English. Therefore, I will follow your instructions. Thank you so much for your teaching and your support.

I found you!

In James Herriot's case, he's clearly somebody who's trying to portray dialect without really having been exposed to dialect writing much. All of the words he uses at least in this extract are don't give much inkling as to exactly which Yorkshire dialect is being spoken. The only thing that would indicate a specific place, at least from my knowledge, is "ewer", a North/East Riding word for "udder". It's unlikely that a person who knows such vocabulary doesn't at least have some very notable pronunciation features in equivalent words to standard English as we've seen in the other extracts.

Similarly, the version of text you have for Wuthering Heights is also anglicised versus the original (This was made specifically to make it easier for people unfamiliar with West Riding dialect to read it). There are also some features which are flat out wrong in your version, such as the use of "no" for "not". Here's the original as it was: "T'maister nobbut just buried, and Sabbath nut oe'red, and t'sahnd uh t'gospel still i' yer lugs, and yah darr be laiking! Shame on ye! Sit ye dahn, ill childer! Ther's good books eneugh if ye'll read 'em; sit ye dahn and think uh yer sowls!

It's important to note here that the version of "on Ilkla Mooar Baat hat" given here is somewhat Anglicised towards standard English. Originally it would have been "Wheear wor-ta baan when Aw saw thee/wheear hes-ta bin sin Aw saw thee" On Ilkla Mooar baat hat Tha's bin a-cooartin Mary Jane Tha's baan to catch thi deeath o cowd Then we sall ha to bury thee Then t'worrums'll come an eit thee up Then t'ducks'll come an eit up t'worrums Then we sall come an eit up t'ducks Then we sall all ha etten thee! That's wheear we get uz awn back!

Very nice ❤❤

Saw this at random, and was delighted to see a video about my home city. It's nearly 40 years since I moved away, and much has changed, but so many memories evoked by your photos.

Sounds interesting! This might just be what I need to up my game.

This book looks magnificent, thanks for bringing it to my attention. I viewed the Book of Kells on many occasions while living in Dubin.

Respected Madam please send your email or other Id

Great job, thank you 💖

If I was allowed to play it I’m sure I’d enjoy 😂

Very helpful video
