Hei, I'm Lilli.
I'm studying Old English at the University, and more I study it more I think
it's fascinating!
Probably my biggest love is in Norse, but the study of Old English helps me
to understand Modern English (that it's not so easy in such things as
phrasal verbs!)... because my mother tongue it's not Enlish.

I don't know if you're studying Old English by yourself or at the
University... but we use to study grammar, history of the language and of
the land... and we study and translate texts... which is to say that we're
translating Beowulf...

So... I'm studying on a franch grammar, that's very good, I think. My
teacher said me that the English one was not so well organized, I mean...
constructed. So she advised us to take this Franch grammar, that's complete,
because it has a lot of texts in Old English.
Do you want the title? Let me know it!

Unfortunately this is the only grammar I know... there's also one in
Italian... but I think it should not be useful for you :P

I'm sorry for there few news... but if you wish I can ask to my philology
teacher... she surely know more texts!
