I found this article mediocre and its conceit, that English is “weirdly different”, not well justified. But what I have discovered recently, on the same subject, is a podcast called The History of English [1]. It's very, very detailed. So far there have been 69 episodes made, each about 45 minutes long, and the creator has only just got up to the Norman Invasion. I've listened to the first 22 episodes and in the last two episodes it's only just started discussing Old Germanic. So maybe more detailed than most people want but it's very good and quite easy to listen to. [1] http://historyofenglishpodcast.com/episodes/ http://historyofenglishpodcast.com/episodes/
