You have a day to source some clothing appropriate to the time period. Unfortunately, that’s not enough time to learn a dialect.

    On the other hand, 500 years ago you would probably be taken for insane or possessed if you accidentally spoke and/or acted as people do today.

    Back then that’s a high chance of getting burned on a stake or possibly lobotomized by some crude scholar experimenting on a perceived madman.

    In comparison in the future, provided mankind still exists, you’d be taken as an interesting walking anachronism to be studied. Maybe someone who gets to talk about life in the past at a university. But either way you’d most likely live a comfortable life of futuristic luxury in either a utopian post scarcity society, or kept as some feudal dilettante’s status symbol. Still better than dying of dysentery in the dark ages imo
