On week number nine and part of eight the group started working on an essay that was about a crucial moment for the formation of English language as we know. This moment in history was the Battle of Hastings, that it was mainly about the conflict between to William of Normandy and Harold ll of England. At last William emerged victorious   and due to that, the french nature of his army was to provoke the bonding of this two languages by adapting a lot of words and sounds to the English vocabulary, this is a really interesting fact because it explains how French can find itself in English even if the last is a Germanic language.

          This kind of informations turns to be really important to understand the evolution of English as a global language and its also a great fact to bring up at certain conversations.  After that we also made an exercise of lecture identification, by reading an anonymous card written by an assassin which also turned to be based on a true event. This kind of historical approach is great for gaining new perspectives of English and what makes it up.
