I will have to try that sometime. What's a good piece of literature to look at that a beginner could visually make sense of?

Beowulf is probably the most relevant and easiest to find in various evolutions, you can also find spoken versions in Old, Middle, and modern. Chaucer's stories are also popular if you find the Old English too dense, Middle English is obviously a lot more approachable.
