[PLEASE READ DESCRIPTION] Interview with an Anglo-Saxon in Old English

DISCLAIMER: This obviously isn’t an actual Anglo-Saxon, it’s me in a sheet. *RETROACTIVE DISCLAIMER* - The Old English in this video comes from a time when I was much more interested in modern and recent dialectology, and is full of grammatical errors (and a number of pronunciation errors, as well). This should absolutely not be used as a reference text for somebody wishing to learn Old English; its main value now is in showing how different Old English is from Modern English, and in presenting an ancient language in a conversational context. My more recent videos are more focused on phonology (which I can talk confidently about) and contain fewer errors when I do use grammatical constructions, although there will certainly still be some dotted about. I’m in the process of making a short film in Old English which I hope to check with somebody else so that the speech is both natural and period-accurate. *Original Description* A fun little thing to show reconstructed pronuncia
