Did it briefly at university. Easier than actual foreign languages, but not by much.

Pearl poet beats Chaucer, prove me wrong.
Long time ago, Dream of the Rood rings a bell, and bits of Beowulf. My old headmaster used to read in Old English in assembly at the slightest provocation, he sounded like the Swedish Chef on the Muppets.
how good is your german lad?
i did it for A level and occasionally use it to pull foreign birds
would consider living there t b h
>kicked my arse
Nah, Poles are alright in my book. At least they're moderately white
I did get wet when listening to proper Shakespere
the wanderer is brilliant and speaks to us here on britpol uniquely
i take it to be a pagan exile who lost all his friends in battle rowing about, he keeps what is in his heart to himself
i think the last few lines are either the exile lying or a narrator

What the fuck you on about what the fuck do these words mean
When Anthony Burgess met Jorge Luis Borges they spoke to one another in Old Norse, the cunts
Why are you always on about babies bells you nonce.
just reminded me of this kino

I wonder about that
did elites of yore speak to each other in latin and greek
I mean that the Middle English poet, known as the 'Pearl' poet is superior to the more well known Chaucer. Are you thick?
KICK. HER. OUT.
P.s. it's not like i want those cookies or anything.
Literally who? Sounds shit
tbf that is an obscure reference
what did you study
roman nobility spoke greek
post-norman nobility spoke french (duh)
russian royal family spoke french
plenty of other examples, but i've had a few and cba to think.
Latin was the lingua franca of intellectual Europe in the good old days (although Lingua Franca was itself a language)
Listen Marcin all the Poles who wanted citizenship have got it. Including every fucking dregs of your society that you kicked out.
Thanks
i mean like in cs lewis times and slightly before
It's alright, don't get to practice it enough to be fully fluent but use it at work sometimes. The only thing about krauts is they'll usually insist on speaking perfect English to one-up you. Fucking irritating.
>russian nobilities spoke french
cunts
He's the Norf to Chaucer's Souf
Perle, plesaunte to prynces paye
To clanly clos in golde so clere,
Oute of Oryent, I hardyly saye,
Ne proved I never her precios pere.
So rounde, so reken in uche araye,
So smal, so smothe her sydes were,
Queresoever I jugged gemmes gaye
I sette hyr sengeley in synglure.
Allas, I leste hyr in on erbere;
Thurgh gresse to grounde hit fro me yot.
I dewyne, fordolked of luf-daungere
Of that pryvy perle withouten spot.
>cs lewis times and slightly before
Okay?
The answer is "No."
are you sure
The Pearl poet isn't obscure imo. If you take even a passing interest in Middle English outside of Chaucer, he is one of the big names.
I didn't study it at school, but I've read it personally for a long time.
It's a sort of donnish thing to do, I can imagine Tolkien speaking in Old Frisian at high table to piss off the scientists.
half of that isn't even real words
a passing interest in middle english is obscure
Nice but sounds like he's hamming up the scandiwegian accent a bit too much, when in reality saxons sounded like Somerset yokels
You can have pavel the drunken ubend scrubber back, but send more polish sausage and vodka.
Who the fuck is chancer you poof
i've never liked scientists
Cunts to a man
i don't think so. it's barely more than 500 years ago, and is part of england's cultural history.
that's one of the big differences between the northern and the southern middle english dialects. the north had more germanic and scandinavian influence, while the southern dialect of chaucer had more french influence.
oh sorry, i thought you were replying to the pearl poem, nm.
i think the guy in the video is scandi of some kind, people talk about his background in the comments.
if it was a question on pointless it would get a 3 or 4 no question
your mum's bull
I got a copy of mallorys morte d'arthur in parallel modern and old english. Also a copy of perlesvaus that i cant fucking understand.
Yeah true but I was talking about old english not midul English, his accent is wrong
Ahh that would make sense then lad
>tfw all the zoomers ITT don't even know how Preuße is
what would the question be?
ever heard of Gawain and the Green Knight? the Pearl poet was the author of the original tellings, and the basis of all modern translations.
scientists are like hah stupid stories and FICTION (not evidence backed facts) and humans smile
Yes.
>Shakespere
>Old English
peak zoomer
Morte d'Arthur is written in very easy Middle English, no need for a translation.
Most editions have modernised spelling anyway, making it even easier.
Well worth a read though, a very early example of English prose writing.
>Name a poet before Pete Doherty
What happened to this guy after that?
you're right
Shakespeare is early-Modern.
Apollonian cunts. Dionysians ftw.
