In this reaction, we explore Simon Roper’s fascinating reconstruction of a casual medieval conversation, spoken entirely in 1390s Middle English. From the vocabulary and grammar to the accent and tone, this episode brings the language of Chaucer’s time vividly to life. We discuss how English sounded in the late 14th century, what’s changed over time, and how ordinary people might have actually spoken in the streets, fields, and markets of medieval England. If you're into historical linguistics, medieval life, or just love hearing history spoken aloud, this episode is an immersive treat.
