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.

And in terms of language structure, Anglo-Saxon isn’t very different from the viking languages. So, Modern English has a Germanic base with a mostly-Latin overlay. If you know any Dark Age Germanic language, plus Latin, that gives a lot of insight into how English works.
