There was a UK TV show years ago that I've always remembered where the presenter tried to buy a cow using Old English with a Frisian speaking farmer in Holland:

You'd probably enjoy "The Story of English" series:

or "The History of English" series:

In the second series, there is a weather report in Frisian that vaguely sounds like English.

I suspect a lot of people in the UK today would pronounce "brown cow" as "broon coo" - certainly I would have when I was a wee loon ;-)
