Week 9 summary

This week we learned about the Battle of Hastings, I should say first that it was very difficult to understand all the history behind it, I'm not very adept of watching documentaries of this type of themes. 
It makes sense that the Norman invasion brought new words to the English language, for example when the Spanish conquered the Mexica Empire words originally used in nahuatl language are now been used in Mexico's Spanish.

English as a Global Language:
In other news, we have to read the book of English as a Global Language; no wonder this book is been quoted in articles about global languages, it has a lot of information about the history of the language. I hope I can get a good grade.
