I've recently come across two videos that talk about the history of the English language, so I thought I'd share them with you here today.
My friend Juan Guillermo showed me the first one. It's pretty fast and it's funny, also. However, that may mean that it's a little difficult for English learners to understand. That's OK, but just watch it and try to see how many words you understand:
The second video is older and the speech is also clearer and less difficult. It also gives many examples of loanwords in English. You may remember that we talked about loanwords a few times (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5).
So, I hope you liked the videos and that you learned something new! Thanks for reading, and have a great weekend!
