History of the English language is inseparably linked with the history of England. It began in the V century, when Britain, at that time inhabited by the Celts and Romans in part, invaded three Germanic tribes. The German influence was so strong that soon in almost the entire country from the Celtic and Latin languages is almost nothing left. Only in remote areas of Britain, who were not captured by the Germans (Cornwall, Wales, Ireland, Scotland Mountain), preserved local Welsh and Gaelic languages. These languages have survived and today: they are called the Celtic languages, as opposed to German English.
Then, in the UK from Scandinavia Vikings came with their Old Icelandic. Then in 1066, England captured the French. Because of this, the French language for two centuries been the language of the English aristocracy, and the old English used a simple lyudom. This historical fact is very significant impact on the English language: it is a host of new words, the dictionary has almost doubled. Therefore, it is in the lexicon of splitting into two versions of English - the high and low, respectively, French and German origin - you can quite clearly feel today.

English has a very simple grammar and spelling terribly complicated, almost no proper phonetics. Let me remind you that the spelling - it is how we write, and phonetics - that speak. It is to be remembered clearly and immediately. Writing and reading English words should be taught about how Chinese characters, the theory is that the rules of English reading there, but in practice they are not. But do not worry is not so scary after all the letters can sometimes guess at the pronunciation.
