@apologeticsman I know Dutch ok and enough German, then i get the texts and study them, i get the texts from the internet, the wikipedia Anglo Saxon community is good ( type bryten in google and click on bryten - wikipedia in the Google search engine, click on the one that doesn't look like modern English ) you can purchase a Beowulf new English translation and study that. Type - ucalgary.ca old English - in google that should bring you to the lessons . I am English that's why i learn it.

Cool video. This stuff is hard to find.  It's nice to hear it from a person with a European English accent.

german_ic_ influences, for sure. Jutes (Iutæ), Angles (Angeln) and Saxons (Saxones) were germanic tribes!

@lightthiscity11

No German influence :)

Common origins.
