I found this earlier and thought I’d share with you all. I loved listening to the changes in the word sounds, it’s absolutely fascinating.

Fascinating. I’ve read a lot about English’s family tree, and I’ve always sort of wondered how they could reconstruct words from Proto-Indoeuropean. Obviously this is a new technique, but still… fascinating to see how it’s done.
