Your video is gorgeous, great! I'm Italian, I studied The History of the English Language." at University (many years ago, I had a wonderful English prof.); you explained in a funny and very good way History and Linguistic. Excellent!

OH what tantalizing fun. It must be played a few times to get all the allusions and humor.

Very entertaining and pretty good with the facts. To get all the jokes, you probably need to study Shakespeare, read the King James Bible, take a course in the history of English and maybe one in linguistics (like sociolinguistics). I did. Hilarious!

Forty eight years ago I sat through an entire semester of "The History of the English Language." Fascinating but slow as a slug. In 10 minutes, I laughed, got the dog barking and learned more about the English language than I thought possible. Wow. I posted this on my FB page, but I'm not sure others find it as great as I did. It helps that I was an English major and am well versed in English history. THANK YOU for this wonderful video. Now will you give a short tutorial on the Romanian language. I am not sure it will be as funny, but certainly it will be fascinating!
