As well as the science aspect of information in the last post, The Open University has done a couple of short animations to explain the history of English in 10 minutes (as the name would suggest).
I thought I would show them to you as it’s a lovely way of learning something new in a not so boring way!
1. Anglo Saxon
2. The Norman Conquest
3. Shakespear
4. The King James Bible
5. The English of Science
6. English and Empire
7. The age of the Dictionary
