People had really deep voices back then.

Thank you so much, every other reading I've found is in modern speak! (and with a very pronounced American accent)

I had no idea Middle English sounded so Frankish? French? Francais? But it does explain a bit...

Hi! Do you mind if I include your video in a presentation I'm making? I'm not claiming it as my own; I want to help other teachers help their students understand the difference between Middle English and Early Modern English.
