How Do I Translate Shakespeares Phrases To Modern English Who Ever Tells Me Gets £5.00?
I actually get paid a little more than that to help students understand Shakespeare’s “English” every day. Firstly, it is English. Because it’s Elizabethan, it’s a little difficult for modern-day students to understand. Before you read the plays, try to familiarize yourself with some Elizabethan terms and treatments of the language. There are many websites for this. If you’re still having trouble, feel free to post specific phrases on this site and I’d be happy to help “translate” them into modern English for you. After you’ve done a few, you’ll catch on. It’s beautiful stuff!
