Old English

[gfish]

For no good reason, I've started teaching myself Old English. (Btw, cases suck.) If I get far enough, maybe I'll start posting bits of my own, crappy Beowulf translation.

I just picked up a new book from the UW Bookstore: A Guide to Old English, 6th edition, printed in 2005. In the preface it references a couple of recommended supplemental books. Two of them went out of print in the 19th century.

I sure know how to pick 'em.

Welcome to Latin. Or Greek, Russian, or German.

Bright's Old English Reader is pretty good...

You're too cool. meowse jocularly said he hated you after seeing your list of the year's accomplishments, saying that he wished he could be that cool. In the same spirit, I hate you too.
