  1. This video is both informative and creative! I liked it very much! Last year, when I was on the 2d course, on the lessons of history of English we were talking about the developing of english language...our teacher gave us a good peace of information...but it wasn`t made in a funny way. I would point out that basically that piece of information which is more creative, unusual or made in a funny way is easier to understand and keep in mind. For instance, I remember several of those words that were mantioned in the movie and I believe that it is much better then not to remember anything.
    Also it was one of the interesting moments, when there appeared a trunk...interesting, yes?... a trunk in 11th century...rather strange...isn`t it? also a King with a cigarette...
    Shakespeare...one of my favourite writers...stroke a blow for developing the english language as well as vocabulary(2000 words-it`s amazing!!), words like: Bible, besmirch,aligator, hob-nob and others.
    And finally I would like to add that a woman in the 6th chapter was the funniest one, that still kept in my mind...
    Thank you!

  8. The video is very funny yet informative. As for me, I learned a lot of new things unknown to me before (especially about English of Science). This video divides the History of English Language into ten stages:
    1.Anglo-Saxon, or "Whatever happened to the Jutes?"
    2.The Norman conquest, or "Excuse my English"
    3.Shakespeare, or "The plague on both his houses"
    4.The king James' Bible, or "Let there be light reading"
    5.The English of science, or "How to speak with gravity"
    6.English and the Empire, or "The sun never sets on the English Language"
    7.The age of dictionary, or "The definition of a hopeless task"
    8.American English, or "Not English, but somewhere in the ballpack"
    9.Internet English, or "English reverts to type"
    10.Global English, or "Whose language is it anyway?"
