The Romans clear out. "And then we have the Normans". Like, 600 years later. Come on!
exactly....this is ridiculous
Yes, no mention of Anglo-saxons or Vikings. Straight to the Normans
Why do all these videos cut off mid-sentence? Is there a longer version with all the information?
I agree that the lesson - which is just PARTIALLY available here, in case you didn't noticed - could have been a little more structured. But this is an INTRODUCTORY video that has the obvious purpose to present the subject in a light, not-boring way. That said, I loved the video. : )
you are incredibly relaxing, im spanish and i understand all you say. Very good work, Keep it up please
I can also think of an example of within our lifetime. Most of us were alive in 1995 if you said ( okay send me a text) I'd take a book put the page you want in a copy machine make a copy and give it to you if you were near by or fax it to you if you were across the city. Now days obviously it means send a message on the phone. Hey another example. We say phone most people now assume cell phone. You have to almost specify ( land line house phone)
Interesting , but i was waiting for more details..
Cute and learned. Love this style.
I realise that this is a quick appraisal of a very complex period, but you have left out a huge amount...not merely the entire Anglo Saxon period.
I watched another video ware the read a script. Old English and just before no I couldn't understand that to save my life. Sounds if I didn't know I'd guess some East European language. Then early middle English couldn't understand it maybe 5% of the words I recognized. Then it was read in later middle English the 1400s I realized I understand maybe 30% of the words but couldn't fallow the plot. Then early modern English was next 1450/1650. My inturputitation is I understand more less 1/2 of this but I really have to pay attentive attention to really fallow and get some what of a message of the context of the plot. Then next was 1650-1800. That's when it was from my prescription hey this is sounding familiar like a language I speak. I can understand 90%+ of this and I get the plot of the story here. So I say if I had a time machine about the early mid 17th century 1600/1650 would probably be as far back as I could go and be able to get into a conversation with random English speaking people I'd meet. I'd likely understand 80%/90% of what they were saying and my guess is as long as I wasn't talking about things such as the internet and TV and such things that did not yet exist they'd likely understand 65% 75% of what I'm saying. I think we'd realize we're all speaking the same language but with an odd dialect. Go back to Shakespeare people would probably think I was drunk or got kicked in the head by a horse or something if I claimed to be able to speak English. We'd likely understand parts of what the other was saying but I don't think well enough to really hold a meaningful conversation. So that's my inturputitation. Sorry to be so long and drug out
I really enjoyed your video :)
Love this
useful for me
Why is it necessary to use the word "like" so many times?
> Modern English.

"...then the Romans cleared out" ? ? and an ignoramus like you came to tell us a broken outline of history?? this is in one: trivial, wrong and disqualifying.
