Can Modern English Speakers Understand Old English? | Language Challenge | Feat. Eadwine

In this language challenge we continue exploring connections between Old English and Modern English. Speakers from Scotland, Ireland and the United States participate in a series of language experiments to see how much of Old English they can understand and if their specific accents and dialects have any effect on their comprehension. This time we focused on longer samples that Eadwine composed in Old English for this show specifically. You can join his Discord server if you are interested in further exploration of the Old English topic.
