From the description: “In this video, I present a monologue which gradually transitions from pre-literary Old English (c.450 AD) to an urban northeastern dialect of modern American English. I present it first without any subtitles or notes so that viewers can gauge when they first start to pick out words and sentences, and then with subtitles and footnotes.”
It’s pretty wild—check it out!
