If you just want to nerd out on some Old English without getting a Bachelor's degree in Beowulf, follow this translation of
Beowulf (I printed it out myself to make notes) and watch this performance (singing and harp) of the poem in Old English.
If I had the Heaney translation of Beowulf back in high school, I might have actually liked the poem. I always remembered it as sounding archaic and being hard to get through.
