The history of the English language

Welcome back, pals! Today we are going to chat about the history of the English language, how it came to be and it's origins! For that, I'm going to leave you to an awe-inspiring video, which you should are obligated to watch. Don't worry, you will have lots of fun with it. But first, a little preview of the video. Did you know that, supposedly, Shakespeare invented 2,000 new words!? And that the French heavily influenced English, and gave it synonyms? In all seriousness, this may be the best video you see in your whole life! Highly recommended!




Also, I made a little essay about the French influence in the English language. But I'm afraid it is in Spanish. I will post this essay later, for your enjoyment. For the time being, enjoy the video.
