Learn Anglo-Saxon through video! Dr. Colin Gorrie, the founder of the Old English program at the Ancient Language Institute, has developed a video series called "Old English in Action," which introduces key vocabulary and grammar concepts in a totally immersive audio-visual format with, as C.S. Lewis might have said, "no officious Modern English intruding."
The vocab and grammar progression you see in this series corresponds to the progression found in Dr. Gorrie's forthcoming Old English nature method textbook, "Ōsweald Bera." Each episode is meant to accompany the chapter of the same number in "Ōsweald Bera."
Inspiration for this series of videos comes from fellow ALI Fellow Luke Ranieri's "Ancient Greek in Action" video series, which you can find on his ScorpioMartianus channel: • Ancient Greek in Actio...
Episode 1 includes basic vocabulary and some simple question-answer in Old English.

You've just somehow travelled to a different dimension and parallel timeline where the English won the Battle of Hastings and you're stuck here so now you need to learn Ænglisc.

Thankyou! This is a much better way to learn a language. I feel like home. Wouldn’t it be wonderful to have a revival of Old English.

@philiplombardo249 8 месяцев назад

…a wonderful approach, method, and technique. I’m an English professor who loves diachronic linguistics and ancient language learning (Hebrew, Aramaic, Akkadian, etc.). It’s my goal to finish Sarelli’s “Elementary Old English” (2011) by next summer. Videos of this style will certainly be useful for not just learning, but true acquisition. Operationalizing vocabulary in real life and in a communicative approach is a wise idea for any language learning effort. Thanks for your videos! 👍 I will be watching!

My mind keeps flipping between hearing a completely unintelligible set of phonemes and hearing comprehensible English spoken with a very peculiar archaic accent. It’s the closest feeling I’ve ever had to suddenly being able to "flip a switch" and understand a foreign language like a native speaker.

There's actually a bit of an Old English online community, there's a forum where everyone talks to one another in the tongue. I have conversations in it with a fellow enthusiast via WhatsApp. Though if an Anglo-Saxon could hear us they would probably find it...amusing, as neither of us are exactly fluent, but it's a great way to practice if like me you want to be able to *speak* the language as a living language.

@jamiekomodo1751 9 месяцев назад

Hey, @@nicholassinnett2958 I think "sele" is fine. There's may cognates across many languages, not just Germanic. E.G. French, and they all more or less mean "hall". That fits well with where a king and queen would be, whereas you suggestion is not found on wiktionary or bos-worth toller. It may occur in some other resource, but Sele works as far as I see.

@kahwigulum 2 месяца назад

many of these examples are confusing like are you referring to the plant or the leaves of the plant or the planting of a plant? are you referring to the person writing, the person speaking, or the person reading? are you referring to the person just being in the forest, the act of walking in a forest? are you referring to the cathedral or the ceiling of the cathedral? the examples sentences didn't provide much clarity either i guess im just too stupid

@mattyregelmaessig8654 18 дней назад

Interestingly, for those comments written in Old English, Google translate obviously can't recognize the language and does a pathetic job of translating them.

going through this im going to type what i think each are as im listening: se sele not sure , u show the palace, a celing and another building. pa selas seems to be collection of buildings. se tun is the town, pa tunas the towns se wer / pa weras all just seem to be men nothing else in common? se faeder is the father, pa faerderas is the fathers se cyning is the king so pa cyningas is the kings seo cwen being the queen, pa cwebe THE queens seo wyrt the plant? - pa wyrte plants ? sep / pa maegp is gil / girls i think but i will have to stop here theres simply not enough explanation to understand fully what im GUESSING at for episode one this really should be a build up to individual things like this ... one a basic understanding is made...

@MixerRenegade95 9 месяцев назад

Sele is a Hall, think French: ''Salon'' as it comes from the same root. Wer is Man, think ''Werewolf'' as well as the Latin and Celtic ''Vir/Wir''. Wyrt is ''Wort'' another name for plantlife in general ala ''St. John's Wort''. Maegth is ''Maiden/Girl''.

@nicholassinnett2958 9 месяцев назад

@@MixerRenegade95And "mægden" actually started out as a diminutive form of "mægþ" (and eventually replaced it after it lost the diminutive sense and became a synonym for the original word). It's one nitpick I'd make with the video, "mægþ" was rare outside of poetry, except in compound words, since "mægden" had all but replaced it by the time of recorded Old English.

@internetguy8075 8 месяцев назад

@@nicholassinnett2958 That's interesting, as something similar has happened in modern Dutch. The word 'meid' isn't used often, and the diminutive 'meisje' has pretty much taken its place.

Bit pointless reviving old English, but ditching lots of french words could be done as mostly English still has its Germanic doubles ,it would give English a better flow to it.

Why is the word for woman neuter? It's kind of odd.

@MixerRenegade95 17 дней назад

It stems from the Verb: to weave (OE: wefan) Someone who weaves is a Wifmann and while anybody can weave it became associated with Women who wove mostly hence Wif became Wife (Weib in High German) and Wifmann became Woman. For a Man weaving he would be called a ''Wefere'' or Weaver.
