The english language
The English language originated from influences of Celtic, Latin, and Germanic languages as Germanic tribes occupied the British Isles in the 5th century. Native words from English include did, it, of, and plural "s", showing linguistic influences. Modern English has evolved from Old English with changes like fewer grammatical endings and more grammatical words added over time through both internal changes in language and external influences from other languages and migrations.
The english language
The English language originated from influences of Celtic, Latin, and Germanic languages. Celtic languages influenced Irish and Scottish English dialects. Latin was spoken in Britain due to its political power and influenced Celtic and Germanic languages. Germanic tribes like the Angles, Saxons, and Jutes occupied Britain in 449 and their languages became the basis of English. Native English words also derive from earlier Celtic and Germanic languages. Modern English has evolved from Old English through both internal changes like sound shifts and external changes from language contact.

The goal is to bring target language studies alive through digital means since physical travel is not possible.
