This is a Modern Scholar course, one of the many released by Recorded Books. This one was excellent. The instructor was interesting to listen to, and kept things moving along, even in the bits where he was trying to explain grammatical rules and phonetics. He begins with basic information about languages in general, and eventually ends up discussing English as it stands today: no longer the language of a small island off Europe, but the lingua franca (ironically) of the world.
Only a geek would call this fun. Oh, well, I guess I'm a geek.
