Join us this week as we talk about the history of the English language. It began as a Germanic language brought to Britain by the Angles and Saxons, later shaped by Viking and French influence after the Norman Conquest. The Great Vowel Shift changed how words were pronounced, creating today’s confusing spelling system. As English spread through printing, empire, and globalization, it became the diverse global language spoken today. So put on your headphones and enjoy these relaxing facts set to soothing background music!
