I love language. I think all writers do. And I can just imagine the use English teachers can make of this. My sister, the English teacher, said it made her want to be back in the classroom for about two minutes.
And no, I'm not kidding. The following video does exactly that--it gives the history of the English language in an easy to understand, humorous fashion--and all in about ten minutes.
So, without any further ado, enjoy! ; )
This is so fantastic. And I think I actually learned something...
ReplyDeleteYeah! And I thought I was taking the easy way out on a post. ; )
DeleteThanks, Fairview.
That's clever, and hilarious!
ReplyDeleteI think the cleverness would make it perfect for a high school English class. Can't you just see the kiddies trying to come up with words to see if all the sources are mentioned? ; )
DeleteI love this video! It's so exciting rolling words on one's tongue and knowing their background.
ReplyDeleteI know! This is so much fun to watch and see if you know all the words. ; )
DeleteSo really Zan we make much ado about nothing seeing it can all be said in 10 mins, lol! Great vid.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting/commenting on Ann's post. Hope you can stay with me til Z, hahahah.

Deinse,
DeleteI plan to be there every step/every letter of the way. ; )
Oh my. This may be the coolest thing I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteI know, Matthew. I wish I'd had it when I was teaching Latin to back up my claim that English is a mutt of a language. LOL!
