A Light History of the English Language

DVD $24.95

In his unique style of story-telling, Professor Elliot Engel reveals why our language developed in such a fascinating way from the Celts, to the Anglo-Saxons, to the invading French. The origins of some of our common words and phrases we use each day are sure to surprise you.

Professor Engel’s videos have been described as "the perfect introductory lectures" because they combine just the right mixture of history, information, and humor, and because they tend to generate future interest and study in the viewer. Viewers feel like they have been made privy to "inside information," or that they have had a personal experience with the character or subject matter. Professor Engel’s lectures are unforgettable, and its almost guaranteed that the viewer will be quoting the professor or telling others about the experience.
