Yes, I've seen another one where Ecolinguist has 3 German speakers try to understand Old English.Sounds Dutch to my ears rather than English. Old English sounds very Germanic though.
Here is video of someone speaking Old English. As a German speaker it sounds much closer to Standard German than modern English.
English has a complicated history that’s why it sounds unique. French had a profound influence on the English language and changed it sound to some degree.
By the way, the Video in the original post is probably the best it can get to real modern English. I have a difficult time distinguishing it from a real conversation in English.
As for that video the first sentence written I could understand most of it except I thought it read as: "I have 26 horses in my house" That would be quite an interesting living arrangement. lol. If it were only spoken, I'd only understand "Hus" and "Ic" as House and I.Sounds Dutch to my ears rather than English. Old English sounds very Germanic though.
