About this listen

You might find Shakespeare’s English a little tricky, but guess what?
The Old English before him? Even native English speakers today would be totally lost!
In this episode, we’re jumping back in time to check out this super old language that “even Brits can’t make heads or tails of.”
We’ll break down how Old English sounded — yep, every single letter got pronounced, which is way different from how we talk now.
Then, buckle up for some wild grammar with crazy word endings, gender, cases, and all sorts of twists that modern English left behind.
Honestly, it’s even crazier than German or French!
And of course, we’ll dig into the vocab — from its Germanic roots to those funky compound words and some early borrowings from Latin and Norse.
So, come along as we peel back the curtain on Old English, find out why it’s such a beast, and see how it set the stage for the English we chat in today!
