English Language Through History

If you want to know what the English language of Shakespeare, and even earlier than the 16th century, really sounded like, you can listen to short videos of actors speaking as they did in the past. Great fun and very interesting!

Thanks for that link, Rosemary.

I remember doing Chaucer's The Miller's Tale in it's original language in my A' level English. Quite fun when we started to make sense of it. :-)

You're welcome, Carol- it's quite fascinating to hear the accents!

I have enough trouble understanding our local accents - never mind Shakespeare :) However, I do enjoy watching Kenneth Branagh in his Shakepearean mode (well, in any shape or form really :)). Hope you are well, Rosemary.

Hello Guys, My Life will never remain the same!!! I’m so happy I got mine from Robert Hernandez. My blank ATM card can withdraw €3000 weekly. I got it from them last week and now I have up to €15,000. The ATM card withdraws money from any automated teller machines worldwide. There’s no name on it, it’s also untraceable. I was directly linked to this organization on the dark web and I’m really happy i got lucky enough to meet them because I’m a 99.9% skeptical when it comes to things like this, but it turns out they work as underground launderers in turkey, mostly ziraat bank and have a 100% policy against scams. The card can be sent to you through DHL in two days if you contact them early via e-mail:blankatmhacker007@yahoo.com or watsapp: +1 (620) 307-3174. or kindly find more on their website Get yours now. I mean right now if you know you’re struggling financially and thank me for eternity. Bye for now. +1 (620) 307-3174.
