Old English resources for beginners

For better or worse, Alaric has some videos up which aim to explain the single handiest resource for learning Old English, Peter Baker's Magic Sheet. They are deeply rough and ready, and a few cut off a few second before the end, they're that rough and ready. One day he may do better ones! But hopefully they get the job done. Cumulatively they're about 80 or 90 minutes:

• introduction
• nouns 1
• nouns 2
• nouns 3
• pronouns
• adjectives
• verbs 1
• verbs 2
• pronunciation

He also has a few texts which have detailed marginal glosses aimed at beginners:

• Genesis A, lines 104-22
• Beowulf, lines 210-28. You can listen to Alaric reading this out here.
• Deor.

And here's how Old English poetic metre works.

Here's a programme of seminars and workshops which he uses to teach Old English.
