Why Past Tense is Weird in Italian: Formalism vs. Functionalism | Speaking of Language #3 mikedoesvoiceovers 2020-12-29 | Unlike English, Italian switches between using "have" and "be" to express the past tense. What determines which verb to use, and why does the past participle act like an adjective sometimes?

the bee movie trailer but this time its in old norse (leif eriksson day special) mikedoesvoiceovers 2019-10-09 | I'm back, baby. Hinga dinga dürgen! (Read more for a linguistic note)__________________________________________________Linguistic note for those who know anything about Old Norse: This project was literally the first time I've touched the language in two years, so the translation (and pronunciation!) are VERY rough. I was basically fumbling through my college textbook and some questionable online resources and figuring it out as I went, so apologies if there are any weak nouns conjugated like strong nouns or anything of the like!
The Story of Us in the Germanic Languages (ft. Steve the Vagabond) mikedoesvoiceovers 2019-04-27 | I'm back, collaborating with the #1 name in linguistics memes, Steve the Vagabond and Silly Linguist! This week we discuss a few reasons why English is so darn weird. More soon!IMPORTANT CORRECTION FROM STEVE:"I realised recently that the very end is not 100% accurate. Thetechnical term for the change discussed in the video is the IngvaeonicNasal Spirant Law (spirant was an old word for fricative). Strictlyspeaking this change only affected nasals followed by fricatives suchas n followed by s.So this part 'The loss of "n" before a consonant was so complete inEnglish that the only examples of "n" followed by another consonantare because the words had a different form at the time and only lost avowel or consonant at a later point bringing it to its current form(like the word "month" which was originally "monaþ")' is not strictlyaccurate because it should be 'n before a fricative', but we didn'texplain what a fricative is."

If Shakespeare ACTUALLY Wrote in Old English... mikedoesvoiceovers 2019-03-09 | It's a common misconception that Shakespeare wrote in "Old English".

Scéla Muicce Meicc Da Thó (The Tale of Mac Dathós Pig), Part 1: A Womans Secret mikedoesvoiceovers 2016-07-29 | Part One of the epic Tale of Mac Dathó's Pig, read in the original Old Irish! The pronunciation is likely imperfect, and I took MANY liberties with the translation to make the story flow better in modern English. I've also been told the subtitles are difficult to read – apologies for that, it will be fixed in the next episode!
