You’re not wrong, and chances are the mix would change depending on where exactly you were. There’s a story, I believe shared by the printer William Caxton, of a couple traders sailing out of London via the Thames. They stop somewhere around Kent, not that far away in modern terms, and roll up to a farm asking to buy eggs. Unfortunately the farmer doesn’t understand what they want. What are _eggs_ , is that French? The other trader has to interject and say they’re looking for _eyren_ .

"Steued" goes back and forth between a fairly historical pronunciation and one that sounds unaccountably like modern German.

The funny thing is, this is eminently far more understandable to modern German speakers than today's English. Old English even more so.

I saw the title of this and was expecting the flowery Shakespearean English most people mean when they say 'old English'. Imagine my surprise when it turned out to actually be authentic Middle English...

0:59 it makes me so happy that you left the audio of chalmers yelling "seymour!" as-is, indicating that it's still part of the song. a lot of other "steamed hams" videos treat it as an actual part of the story, and that always bugs me.

After learning basic German in a couple of months you can know the pronunciation of almost every new word without a problem. With English, there are almost no rules, and you might still be learning how to pronounce (or to spell) certain words in your 20's. And being a native speaker!
