I used to be able to read Old Enhlish way back when I studied Enhlish literature before I switched to Graphic design. Starting with the middle English of the poems of the Gawain poet. Best read with a northern English accent, could be a starting point. Then just take a step back to Beowulf and the extracts in Sweets Anglo Saxon primer. Chaucer is so close to modern English its possibly an easier introduction for those more familiar with its descendant the Southern English accent.

I found, at least for me, Hasenfratz's (and Jambeck's) "Reading Old English" revised edition easier to grasp than Peter Baker's (I bought both from Amazon). The only downside is there's no answer key for Hasenfratz's text, but I still prefer it. I think he has an informal one for instructors, but it's not publicly available. The disadvantage of self-learning is that one doesn't have to take tests, which would force one to memorize the paradigms. You do eventually start to remember them, but I still use (for instance) Peter Baker's cheat sheet even after finishing the text. I'll probably force myself to take time to memorize them. I think Mr Gorrie is correct about vocabulary and his suggested way of reading the text would certainly be optimal. I did order this text (pre-order) a few weeks back. Waiting for it to arrive and then the bear and I will be off on a journey of discovery.

It's not necessary to do so - it won't impede comprehension not to roll (i.e. trill or tap) the <r>, but the OE <r> probably was a trill or tap.

Thank you Dr Gorrie! How many words do you think one should learn to become proficient at reading Old English texts?
@ColinGorrie 5 күн бұрын
Depends on the text! The 1000 most common words will be enough to read easy-ish Late West Saxon prose, like some of Ælfric, or the Wessex Gospels. Poetry is another story altogether, however. I just scripted a video on this very question, so I'll have more to say soon!

Since the full cast audio is a little while in coming, could you provide a reading of the first chapter to help get the sounds of the language? Luke Ranieri's videos were helpful for Latin. (Confession: I haven't watched much of the other channel you mentioned, so there may be a few amount of OE phonetics there).

Can’t wait to read this! Crazy idea: have you considered reaching out to Jackson Crawford to see if he’d be interesting in creating something similar for Old Norse?

Jackson's text book should be coming out sooner rather than later. He mentioned it a few months ago, so it has to be coming out any time now.

Oh, Jackson and I are acquainted :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6HHl3t8mdRqlassi=uG3cAMM4ZhuL5cbE I know he's working on an Old Norse text but I'm not sure if it's planned to be a graded reader like this one.

I’ve already ordered it and I’m really excited to dive in! I was wondering how accessible Middle English will be after reading it? Are there any resources or materials you recommend for bridging that gap. Or can one jumper straight into Chaucer?
@ColinGorrie 5 күн бұрын
It should help with Chaucer, since at least some of what is hard about Middle English are things from Old English that have not survived into Modern English - so, if you have Old English and Modern English, you should be able to tackle Middle English from both sides, so to speak.

How do you determine a “standard” Old English to teach? Bc, as I understand it, the corpus is full of crazy variations (across space and time)
@ColinGorrie 10 күн бұрын
I stayed relatively close to what most textbooks teach, which is an idealized form of West Saxon with normalized spellings. This way, the book is interoperable with most grammar textbooks and dictionaries - for example, you can look up a word in, say, Wiktionary (an excellent resource for OE), and it will be spelled the same way in Ōsweald. Then, once you've become comfortable with this normalized version, you can progress relatively easily to the variations you find in actual texts.
