The Story of English

And of the four components of a language, you know, vocabulary, semantics, diction, blah, blah, blah.

And while I was doing that, I was waiting for my dad to send me a book called The Story of English, which was a documentary that Robert McNeil from McNeil-Lehrer Report on PBS did.

And it's a fantastic story of the history of the English language.

And that became my textbook.
