After a week or so, I found I could make myself understood in Italy by speaking Latin with a Hollywood gangster accent. Almost always worked. But, insight into how English works may be more significant. English is Viking-talk with a Latin overlay.
Fussy technicalities. Anglo-Saxon and Old Norse are mutually intelligible.
