Very exciting to see our resident etymology expert Danny become Dr. Danny! And to think, he did a PhD whilst stuck in the Middle Ages…

A year ago, I accidentally brought my Old English and Middle English versions back from the past! That particular mistake did at least lead to a super interesting discussion about etymology – the origins of words!
I struggle to believe it's a year today since @LearnWithWill and I released our intro to English etymology video!
I so loved making this video (especially getting to speak some Old and Middle English), so I hope you all won't mind an anniversary reshare:

Happy Pi Day! 🥧🍰
Pi crops up all over the place in maths, but probably most famously in the measurement of circles.
Join @aap03102 and I on our magical adventure as we use Pi to bring stone circles to life!

How do genes work? What's DNA made of? How can we predict inheritance?
I answer all these and more in the latest Learn with Will video: Genetics!
I also talk about my own personal experience as someone who inherited cystic fibrosis!

@socially__sound Hi both! I’d love to chat to you about having you as a guest on @LearnWithWill in the future in a series I’m planning about hearing, hearing loss, and sign language. Please could you follow me so we can DM? ☺️

Danny has become the official @LearnWithWill word guy! He helped a lot with the new video about where the names for the days of the week came from!
The talented @LearnWithWill has just released another video on English words – this time, on the days of the week!
Please do give it a watch, and enjoy the contributions that I made* as one of its language consultants.
*The Welsh bit was me, of course.

📆 BRAND NEW VIDEO - Why is it CALLED Monday?
Why are the days of the week called that? To find the answer, we need to look up at the heavens: to both the planets in our solar system and ancient gods from around the world!

If you love etymology facts like this one, Danny’s got plenty more in the newest video! youtu.be/Gf79-5STDmU
Today, a 'harbinger' is someone or something that foreshadows something else (often bad, like doom), yet it was originally someone who provided or went ahead to find shelter.
It's from French, but it's related to herebeorg, a word for 'shelter' in Old English – today, 'harbour'.

Danny showed me the beautiful history of the English language in the latest video!
This was a real labour of love, and the style of the @LearnWithWill series has exactly brought to life the ideas I wanted to include.
It's for all ages, though I think it'd especially make an ideal introduction for high-school-age linguists and students of English.
⏳ BRAND NEW ENGLISH VIDEO – ETYMOLOGY
Go back in time to discover the secrets of where words came from! Will is joined by @DannyBate4 as they go on a guided tour of what our language used to be: Middle English and Old English!

Rapper Shuffle-T wrote a beautiful piece about being scared to do Maths!
@Nat_Numeracy asked me to write something sharing my thoughts on maths for #NationalNumeracyDay and the #BigNumberNatter so I wrote this! Hope you like it, and visit nationalnumeracy.org.uk/nume… to find out more. U can also visit nationalnumeracy.org.uk/chal… start improving your skills.
New video! - Order of Operations with @Bobby_Seagull and @DoTheMathsThing! Bobby hosts Maths Battle and Susan and I are contestants. How does #BODMAS work?

@azforeman Hi Alex! I’m doing a video with @DannyBate4 and am looking for someone to read a short excerpt from the Canterbury Tales in Middle English. What’s the best way I can contact you? ☺️

My newest magical adventure with @aap03102 had some hidden messages using an ancient writing system called Ogham. Learn all about it! (1/5)
We’ll be revealing the answer to this at 3pm, but there’s another hidden message that may remain hidden if nobody cracks it!
Don’t think ANYONE has cracked the coded message engraved on that stone in the first minute of our video…yet!
