    This is great, thanks for reading it for 30 minutes. This will be useful to help me with my pronunciation

      I appreciate this! Just note that I'm still learning myself, and I make mistakes in my pronunciation. I'm going to be streaming on Twitch, reading Middle English more often, so hopefully I improve from that

    I'd like to hear the knights tale, that's my favourite. I like the idea that someone would prefer prison just to see another for a few minutes a day than freedom. The peculiar things humans do for love.

      @@ThePhilologicalBell really? That would be great. 😊
      I'm embarrassed to ask but when i listen some of the words seem familiar, I didn't realise that English had changed so much. I can imagine you're thinking "doh".
      I read a book about Spakespearian Elizabethan and it was almost like modern English so it's interesting how different Middle English is. I realise that language is forever changing but I hadn't thought about how fluid it is.

    😍 Wow! Amazing stuff, it's incredible how much of this has gutteral elements similar to Welsh and Gallic.
    Love how you chuckled reading 3806 too 😉

    Hi sir,I want to ask you some questions:
    1.what is the difference between:philology,codicology,manuscriptology,paleography,manuscript studies?
    2.do they include historical linguistics?
    3.can a person study all codices and manuscripts around the world?
    4.if they are different from each other,is there a field that covers them all?
    5.how can I self study them?
    6.what sources should I use to study them(considering that I am in 11th grade so the sources must be from complete beginning to most advanced)?
    Thank you so much❤️

    Looking at it with you reading it makes me think it should be pronounced more like Scots. This sounds like someone English reading Robert Burns having never heard a Scottish accent.

      Funnily enough, when new students to middle English struggle to read it, they often manage to if they read it aloud in a Scottish accent.
