  • 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
