The problem with the game they forget it's meant to be a game !

It's that OE (more accurately the Saxon dialect spoken by the invaders) is a foreign language, and I have always had trouble with those. That this is a 10 week course focused on the literature (Beowulf is coming) doesn't help. Interesting, but i need more absorption time. My paternal ancestors are from Northumbria, so maybe this will help with family connections. Interesting, your post.
