Read a lot of Shakespeare. It is very beneficial to understanding 'Old English'. Other than that it would also help to have access to an Oxford old english dictionary online. That would help with a lot of the words which have a different meaning in modern english than in the late 1500 through1600's (17th century). Also a dictionary of word origins is cool to have.
FYI is sort of a familiar "you", singular and Ye is like "you" in the plural sense. Your biggest obstacle is going to be sentence construction and word nuance and meaning.

Its hard to because they are just ealier stages of English.
The thing is "Old English" covers hundreds of years and variations not one specific use of English.

If you want help with specific words I can help you:
Thou= You (Second person singular)
Ye = The or You (depending on context)
