Another book is beginning old english by carole hough.

A couple suggestions that might improve this book for future editions: 1) not all the words are in the dictionary at the back of the book, which can be frustrating (i know that sometimes it's because the word is a plural or different form, but at this beginning level, it's still maddening to not be able to look up the meaning of a word).

I won't even get into g or c, for which it would be very helpful with new words if the author would indicate which of the several possible pronunciations for each letter is appropriate, for those of us whose computer sound is non-functional despite every attempt by it people to fix it).

I second everything the first reviewer said.

This is a lovely, easy, do it yourself way to learn old english.

It has been quite a difficult journey, because while there are some shared words and similarities between old and new (modern) english, the truth is that old english is, to us, a foreign language.

And at that point you realize that the complex old english training/learning materials out there are far too overwhelming for the average adult learner to deal with.
