As an icelander it's really cool to actually understand most of the words that they are saying.

This is how it feels when a latinoamerican/ talks with a Brazilian or an italian, we don't understand each other but at the same time we do.

Having studied medieval German language, I was astonished how well I understood both old Norse and old English.

"How did your conversation with that Norseman go, Harold?" "Well I got most of the words, but it was hard to make out with that American accent of his."

I've been studying icelandic for some years now and I could actually understand both of you in a 70-80% without reading. Great thing!

I've been basically obsessed with ancient languages since I was 15, I feel so happy when I can understand both of you without the subtitles.

A friend (American) was backpacking in Ireland and fell in with a group of Germans. She spoke no German but their English was good. After a day or two of traveling together, one of the Germans turned to another and said, “Ich habe Wasser in meinen Schuhen,” to which my friend said “me too,” without noticing they had switched into German. It’s funny how quick that can happen where there are very clear correspondences. (edit: German inflectional endings!)

Mr. Roper was so polite throughout this video, always pausing mid-speech to make sure Dr. Jackson still had something to say. Excellent talk! Very invaluable to Germanic comparative linguistics.

A great reminder that you shouldn't travel too far into the past or the future with that time machine you're building. Just keep it within a couple hundred years so you can still talk to people!

I thought the line where Simon gives Jackson permission to use "thou" (Þō) was pretty cute. Only pre-Norman kids remember when English still had formal and informal pronouns!

English man here, it felt very strange because I could follow along listening to the bits about the doe, boars, river, hills and bears and the place names of (S)Nottingham, Derby and York. But there whole chunks I couldn't parse. I suppose it helps my grandfather was from York and spread some of that heritage to me. My father is also very keen on having a broad vocabulary so I've kept a lot of the different variations of words in my head. It was all not quite right to me, it was easier to understand when not reading.
