Old English in Action | Episode 1

Learn Anglo-Saxon through video! Dr. Colin Gorrie, the founder of the Old English program at the Ancient Language Institute, has developed a video series called "Old English in Action," which introduces key vocabulary and grammar concepts in a totally immersive audio-visual format with, as C.S. Lewis might have said, "no officious Modern English intruding."

The vocab and grammar progression you see in this series corresponds to the progression found in Dr. Gorrie's forthcoming Old English nature method textbook, "Ōsweald Bera." Each episode is meant to accompany the chapter of the same number in "Ōsweald Bera."

Inspiration for this series of videos comes from fellow ALI Fellow Luke Ranieri's "Ancient Greek in Action" video series, which you can find on his ScorpioMartianus channel:    • Ancient Greek in Action! Ancient Gree...  

Episode 1 includes basic vocabulary and some simple question-answer in Old English.
