Wander over here to read about our house fire that shaped a young author’s mind. Never mind his disparaging remarks about my over-zealous love for the English language and how I tried to impart that appreciation to the young minds in our house. It seems the fire was more successful than the film!

After being disappointed by Netflix, I found The Story of English on YouTube, starting here. I think it’s time for Nate to pay his dues and sit through it.
Way to go, Valerie! Hope you enjoy it.
Joffre and his mom (who had a master’s degree in linguistics) LOVE that documentary and made me watch it as well.It is interesting but I think I would have been a lot more interested in the fire myself. And boys are such pyromaniacs.
That Story of English series is 10-15 hours long. I watched it back in the 80s on PBS
Fun post. Good memories. Tim, Tom, and the rest of the turtles never knew they’d be so famous and well thought of for their service.
