If you're on the east coast the city is called either DC or Washington. The state does not come up in conversation often, if it does it's ‘Washington state.’ Your friend was from the west so that's why it was only DC to her.

Amazing video as always. Your whisper is *chef's kiss*. And the tracing and sound of the wooden thingy on the paper 😍😍

Great video, as we are already used to see on this channel! Thank you ❤️

1. In US we say DC for the capital and Washington for the state 2.The island in New York is called Long Island (Manhattan is a part of New York City) Long Island isn't 3.I live in North Carolina and it is indeed pronounced Raw-lee not Ra-lay 4.You'd be surprised to know Orlando is very small for a city (300k or so people) so is Miami 5. Boise is pronounced Boy-zee 6.Topeka is pronounced Toe-Peek-uh 7.Mississippi has recently changed its flag in the past 2 years so it doesn't have the confederate flag on it anymore 8.From a person born and raised in Texas the statement everything is bigger in Texas is 100% true, everything is unnecessarily big. 9.Cheyenne is pronounced Shy-Anne

Hey! Loved the video, a pleasant random recommendation. Charleston used to be the State Capital for South Carolina! Our state fossil is the Columbian Mammoth too! One of my favorite prehistoric mammals.

The cool thing about the US is its geographical diversity. We have mountains, hills plains, tons of rivers, lots of islands. We have some of the driest and hottest deserts in the world. Rainforests in Florida, Alaska, and Washington. We have coastal and highland wetlands. Some massive forests. Tundra. Mediterranean climate in California. You name it we have it.

this was lovely! would you consider doing a connecticut or new england tracing/whispering video?? 😀

The rocky mountain range doesn’t start in Kansas, it starts in the middle of Colorado, west of Denver. Literally all of Kansas is flat.

Just getting into your geography channel. Football and geography, my two passions! Love the content, mate.

Some of the Americans (like myself lol) are being pretty harsh about your pronunciations but LORD KNOWS if you asked us to pronounce some Welsh places we would pass away…Llainfair or whateverthehell took me like a week 😅

25:06 is the best part! Do more of that in future videos. Love from Serbia! 💛

This video is recommended in my "New to you" part and I like this!

Kansas City is in both Missouri and Kansas! Most sports teams are from the Missouri one so that’s the one most people talk about! It’s not a situation where one city is in both states either, both cities sprung up separately and funny enough the Missouri one had the name Kansas City first!

This was such a pleasant recommendation from KZfaq! It’s true: Generally DC is the capital and Washington is the state. Great video, very pleasant and relaxing! Well done 🇺🇸🙂🙂🙂

Good video man!

ur voice is so relaxing

We definitely refer to the capital as “DC” and the state as Washington. However, sports teams in DC are usually called Washington. And that island in New York is “Long Island”. Manhattan island is much smaller and more like a peninsula. Great video as usual!

Brilliant video mate

Holy cow, how do you only have not even 5k subs? Quality content here, keep this up.

Amazing 😎👍

Please do one on Iran/ Ancient Persia - massive fan of your content!

Very nice, i hope you do indonesia next video

Would love to see you do a video like this on some micronations, like the Vatican, San Marino, Liechtenstein etc.

Hello you greet someone who his favorite city is Los Angeles and his state is Colorado. Amazing video and I almost fell asleep xd.

the little wooden stick is so satisfying

Super video! What is the name of the book pls ?

I like to learn states, and this video is so amazing. 👍

This is hitting my love of pointing in asmr and nerd facts. Don't see the need for whispering though. Still like it.

do one about spain reagions

As a sacramentoan I can confirm what you say, but the north is beautiful and has lots of amazing cities.

You forgot the gentle tapping on the book before saying "Hello There" 😞

Recently found your channel, enjoy all your videos, and now working back. Have a point on the US state shapes that you might find interesting. You’d notice the eastern states are smaller and oddly shaped, while the western are larger and more geometric. The eastern states borders were originally established in the 1700s and mostly follow natural features like rivers or mountain ranges. The western states were established in the 18&1900s along with more sophisticated land surveying. Some western state boundaries do follow natural features, but in a significantly less percentage than eastern states.

I'm very late, but I just want to let you know that Orlando is actually the FOURTH largest city in Florida, which is quite surprising. Jacksonville, then Miami, then Tampa, then Orlando. Although, those are misleading numbers since cities should be measured by their metropolitan area including all surrounding suburbs rather than their legal city limits. In this case, Orlando is 2nd largest with only Miami being largest. Florida's cities are confusing, I swear it's way easier for the rest of the states

👍 lovey

As a long islander, we refer to it as Washington as the capital and Washington State as the state

What you pointed out isn’t Manhattan island. That’s Long Island. Queens and Brooklyn are on Long Island, but besides that, the rest of the island isn’t part of NYC. Manhattan Island, which technically doesn’t exist anymore due to the filling in of a creek, is so small you can’t see it on the map.

I'm only comfortable with the East coast, probably because the new England states have similar names as England 😁

fun facts about nevada from a resident: Carson city is the capital, but only the third largest city, behind Reno and Las Vegas. 98% of the state is owned by the federal government. some of that used to be used as nuclear testing sites. Area 51 is located in nevada. Locals will pronounce it ne-vah-duh rather than ne-vaw-duh.

6:55 Unfortunately, the lands were not sold. The US forced Mexico into a treaty after the Mexican American War to cede land. A lot of the land east of New Mexico and parts of Texas were sold to the Americans by Napoleon. That was really the only time that the USA purchased land, aside from Alaska from the Russians and the Panama canal area(?) as well as some Caribbean islands Good video by the way. Very underrated channel

I’m from Maryland, 3:37 I’m used to calling the capital Washington D.C. or just D.C.

Hi there! I’m trying to learn Russian what should I do to get fluent at a realively fast pace, like maybe 2-3 years?

Huntsville, as of recently, is now the largest city in Alabama.

Наш друг из Уэльса снова на высоте!

Just a heads up, in your thumbnail the map is flipped, don’t know if this is intentional or not so I wanted to tell you ✌️

Mississippi changed their flag recently

FYI Huntsville is now the largest city in Alabama.

When referring to the capital, most of us just call it “D.C.” and then “Washington” for the the state because, uh well, that’s it’s name. The only exception to this would be in the case of sports teams from D.C. like the Nationals, Capitals, or Commanders, which are referred to as The Washington [Insert team name here]. Secondly, you’ll also be surprised to learn that Jacksonville is not only the largest city in Florida, but it’s actually the largest city by land area in the contiguous U.S. (the adjoining 48 states) being beaten out only by a couple of towns in Alaska.

4:38 “what I did know about New York is this part, Manhattan island” (points to Long Island) Manhattan is way too small to be seen from space, it’s only one of the five boroughs that make up NYC. Long Island is where most NYC suburbs are (people who commute to New York City every day from Long Island).

I was hoping someone would have it time stamped but I guess not

East coast beaches are actually nicer than west coast. The Gulf of Mexico is the best for beaches tho

The best part is 27:54 I’m totally not saying this because I’m from Texas

I disagree with a lot of what the other Americans are saying about Washington. I grew up on the west coast then lived on the east coast. In the west, when people say Washington, it refers to the state, given the proximity. Whereas in the east when people say Washington, it refers to the city for the same reason. This would be the same as, say, York. If you’re in the UK, people are referring to the city in Yorkshire. In Pennsylvania, they’re referring to the city in Pennsylvania.

Do norway again

it’s crazy how big and prosperous the US has become even though it’s such a young nation.

A whisper video must be done a certain way before. I’ll like it. For example, I like most of Gibi ASMR’s content, except for her whispering. Can’t stand them. But this one here, I like it. I had to decrease the volume enough so I wouldn’t hear the lip smacking; that’s a big turn off for me. I also like you tracing the state borders. Anyway, thumbs up.

You are very handsome and you have amazing voice ❤️

I love that in your world the USA is not the center of it. ❤

Im a Brit 38 yrs . I can name and place every US state but can't do the same for our counties.

people when they realize new york states... exists: O_O

Bill Clinton was the governor of Arkansas before becoming president. West Virginia split during the civil war cause they didn’t want to go to war with the union. West Virginia used to be part of Virginia

Mississippi actually changed their flag recently to remove the Confederate flag from their own in 2021

Rio Grande does not touch Arizona.. it goes through the middle of New Mexico and then makes the Texas border with Mexico.

Hej hej

I've heard said that the USA is like a doughnut (ironically lol) with everything people know and visit in a circle around the centre noone knows anything about 😂

I'm from the east coast and I would say most people I know call it either "Washington, D.C." or just "D.C."... if someone says "Washington" even on the east coast, they mean the state. So I guess I'd agree more with your ex-roommate than these other east coasters but what do I know ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

When talking about politics, we say “in Washington”. All else, we say “in DC”.

Most amaricand do refer to it as D.C it stands for District of Columbia. Florida has the largest city by land mass in America (Jacksonville) The capital of Georgia is Atlanta and it’s airport is the busiest in world. Pennsylvania is named after William penn as Quaker that founded the state as a refuge for quakers that where mostly shunned by society Rhode Island is not part of New York many foreigners get it confused with Long Island which is in New York Florida has the lowest highest point of any state The population of Jacksonville (144k is higher than the entire population of Wyoming (90k) On the flag of Florida and Alabama the cross is the confederate cross It’s pronounced boy-zee The flag of Hawaii is the flag of the empire of Hawaii to this day Kentucky is famous for things other than chicken here in America (mostly horse racing) There are 2 Augusta’s the one in Georgia is there the masters golf tournament is played Kansas City is cut in the middle by the Missouri River. Half of the city is in Kansas half is in Missouri New Mexico has the only American license plates that say U.S.A Alaska is amaricas largest state for oil production Anastasia, a small town in Oregon is where the honors was filmed. Hola from a fellow Spanish speaker!

I always call it Washington DC. I didn’t realize that at first, though. Living in Norwich, then Dortmund, Turin, Brussels and now Chicago, Illinois, USA. It’s been quite the journey haha. US geography can be quite confusing.

Cómo estás?

It's a really shame that this book is outdated by a few years. Mississippi's flag was changed a few years ago and it's so much more beautiful and blessedly not confederate inspired

New Orleans is not pronounced as Orleens but as Orlins. So you can say New Orlins rather than Orleens.

15:31 funfact: hawaii was never under british control

9/11

HISTORY STARTED IN 1776‼️‼️‼️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅WHAT THE FUCK IS A KILOMETER⁉️⁉️⁉️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🦅🦅🦅

You should do a video on urban decay in the US. Gary, Indiana is a failed city. Cairo, Illinois is a ghost town practically. Very fascinating stuff

Madison, Wisconsin is a brilliant city if you find yourself in the general area. Absolute class. Much nicer than the other big city in Wisconsin, Milwaukee. Milwaukee is very drab and grey. A bit of a smaller version of Birmingham in the U.K 😂

Yep DC , then we would ask why u asked us. Cause that place.... yea, no...
