It didn't and it hasn't. English is a very cosmopolitan language, made up from Celtic, Gaelic, Norse, German certainly, French, Latin & so on. But at no time has German changed into Engish. ADDED: English evolved from a West German dialect brought over by German settlers. It is in it's base a Germanic language, and not a Romance (Latin based) language such as Italian, French, or Spanish. It quickly mixed vocabulary from other languages such as those mentioned above. If you can speak modern German however you could very easily read Old English, the grammar structure, pronunciation, and vocabulary are extremely similar. During the Great Vowel Shift, English pronunciation changed and that's why it no longer sounds as similar to German. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_English_language

Hello! When I sterted the German language, the only thing I found difficult was rolling my "R". Many words in the German language are similar to words in the English language since both English and German are Germanic languages, meaning that they are related. I find German slightly similar to Swedish, Finnish and Norwegian. I can also recognise words in Dutch, as both Dutch and German are similar languages.
achtung is German for "attention" similar to the English phrase "watch out!"
== == The Pennsylvania Dutch settlers came from the Southwestern part of what is now Germany and Northern Switzerland. During the 17th century they fled Europe because they (being Anabaptist) were persecuted.
