Thank you very much! You are a good teacher.

I'm glad you enjoyed the look back to the past. I learned to read Middle English in 1966 at college, and I was happy to see 30+ years later that my pronunciation pretty much matched the current recordings on the PBS series "The Story of English." I think reading Chaucer in Middle English does bring it to life reveals how wonderful and funny he is. GS

We studied this for O level when I was at school in 1970, in the original, and it suddenly made poetry alive for me (I was basically more interested in science, but since then I have become more fascinated by language). The pronuniation we learnt, in UK, was pretty well the same!

Thanks for your nice comment. Nobody has ever accused me of working miracles before! I hope you get a good mark on your recitation and especially that you have fun doing it. I think it is the greatest thing to be able to read Chaucer in the original Middle English. It's that much more charming.
Good luck with your violin. I just started up on guitar lessons again after a long break. It is easy to play notes, hard to make music. ..but maybe someday. GS
I will, I would never take credit for someone else's work- don't worry!!!

I'm glad to have helped you. Chaucer's Middle English was one of my favorite topics when I was an English teacher. I hope you get an A+ GS
