Something for you, Niamh

you asked what Anglo-Saxon sounded like? Anglo-Saxon Aloud by Michael C. Drout. Is good stuff. I recommend my current favourite, The Dream of the Rood, or Satan's complaints about Hell from Genesis B. Beowulf Aloud isn't available for free, sadly :(

naturally.

i'd meant to recommend, the other day, that you pronounce whatever it was you were asking about in your best Dutch accent. anything vaugely germanic is acceptable for beginners. Apparently i read OE in a german accent. which is funny, since i've never heard anyone speak german :P
