English for beginners

English as a Second Language What do you want to talk about?
1

A language belonging to the Germanic branch of the Indo-European family. Its unbroken literary heritage goes back to the inflecting language, Anglo-Saxon, notably in the 8th-c epic poem Beowulf. Standard English prose evolved from the Chancery (law-court) English of the 14th-c, and has been codified continuously - its grammatical structure in such early works as Lindley Murray’s English Grammar (1794), and its lexicon in Dr Johnson’s Dictionary of the English Language (1755), which laid the foundations for a long tradition of scholarship into the nature of English usage.

Dear Aliah,

Many thanks for posting this definition of the English language and the link to that website. Could you please tell us why your quote is named “English for beginners”? I mean, do you think that beginners will want to read an encyclopedia definition?[YSaerTTEW443543]
