Amerikaner vet inte vad som är vad utanför USA

it was weird that Oscar answered with Northern Germanic and then the teacher switched to Slavic(Ukrainian/Russian, Lithuanian and Macedonian guesses) and Latin(Romanian), i actually was like wtf. And you could hear very strongly that is was nordic with 4 and 8, not to mention the more open and longer vowels

Don't be surprised, He is an American!.

@@flopjul3022 Just a few corrections, Lithuanian is not a slavic language, it's a baltic language. Romanian is a romance language.

@@emilevika8621 The romance tree and Latin tree are the same thing though

incl turkish, which isn't even from the same big language family :D

@@hhelina he said Russian 😂😂

hahahahaha americans hahahhahaha we laugh at him

@@killerdude-hz2bb He's Cape Verdian

@@Lifeless_Asian "hey everybody i'm vonn i'm from america and i'm an english teacher" hahahaHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAH

lmaoo

And oskar said he's used to chilly weather, and the dude says turkey and macedonia 😂😂

@@Niall69Irish both those places can be pretty chilly actually lol and south west cost of Norway is actually relatively warm (haven’t been to Sweden but I assume similar)

totally clueless

americans are famously not good at geography

Yes it was a little weird

Yes, she said that in the beginning. I was thinking why is he still trying to guess the country 😂😂

Scripted or horrible editing? Yeah super weird.....

@@annonymoussmith2853 He said he would have guessed it anyway, so they just ran with it. I think they were just keeping it honest by leaving it in there.

Yeah really weird! And as a Finn who speaks Swedish it’s always nice to see nordics in these videos! 🇫🇮🇸🇪

He said right after that he would have guessed it anyway, so they just ran with it.

I would have done the same so to not embarrass her and so she could have a segment that wasn’t 3 seconds long. I don’t know where he lives but my corner of the USA has a sizable Vietnamese population because many tend to go into the seafood industry. I hear Vietnamese spoken a lot because I hang out with and go to Vietnamese cultural events. I would have said Vietnamese even without her slip up. I tried to learn to speak it but it’s very difficult.

That was so stupid. Why would you say were you're from when somebody is supposed to guess where you from. It's clear from his reaction at 7:08 that he thought it was funny. They should just have removed her and brought in someone else.

@@Asa...S That would be embarassing, mean and quite rude as well, so just run along with it, even if she says it oh well

@@Asa...S it’s just a gut reaction when introducing yourself. The Swedish guy admitted to almost accidentally saying it out loud.

Nope, that’s really their education level. American education is very self centered and doesn’t really teach about anything other than the US

he did mention earlier ken sounded germanic/ slavic which sound totally different. If he knew slavic is not germanic. He would not have mentioned russian, ukraine nor macedonian. Donno where turkey came from?

Wait so do other countries learn all the linguistic branches/categories in school? In America if we’re learning a language they’ll sometimes say what category the language belongs to (i.e. Spanish is a romance language) but won’t like dive into all the specifics of related languages as it takes time away from actually learning the language we’re supposed to be focusing on. Also we unfortunately don’t have the hugely varied language education here like they do in Europe so that might be a factor; I think the assumption is that we’ll mostly need to know Spanish or French for optimal communication so that’s what they focus on teaching

What someone knows is not just a question of what they are taught in school, but what they are exposed to repeatedly in life, to reinforce the school learning. Most Americans are comparatively isolated, and won't be regularly exposed to a variety of languages, or discussions about various language families. For someone growing up in Europe, for example, the repeated exposure level of this kind of thing would be completely different.

@@EonServoXA We don't learn linguistics, even if we do learn languages (and in coastal or border states, there's a good chance you'll pick up some Spanish - particularly in New York, New Jersey, Texas, California, New Mexico, and Arizona). Also, we don't have much experience with most Germanic or Slavic languages because their immigration to the US was so long ago that most people have been raised on several generations of English.

Y’all are everywhere smh

The second guy was from Australia 🇦🇺

👏👏👏👏👏

Nobody here was from the US

@@Lifeless_Asian ?????

Same here! I felt it was either swedish or norwegian. The way he said "alskar" sounded like "elsker" but as a whole norwegian and swedish are very similar

@@Kupkaik I knew he was Swedish, because, tbh, he doesn’t look Norwegian.

Yees same

Sweden’s my favorite country 🇸🇪 :)

Awe love from sweden ❤

And RUSSIAN.

English IS a still germanic language.

@@Nekotaku_TV thats also slavic

Turkish aswell as Swedish have Ö in their alphabet

@@adamforslund6405 Hungarian also has an Ö, but it’s neither a Germanic nor a Turkic language.

He is an english teacher, so he teaches writing

@@giosepher1308 OK, but he should know the language families, at least in a minimal level, such as not mixing Germanic language with Turkish.

@@goblinfing14 we do learn that in school, its just this one person who doesnt know. It doesnt mean we all don’t know our language families

@@giosepher1308 Sorry, I wanted to point that guy, not for all the language teachers in USA. I have met a teacher guy from there who learnt Hungarian, too. And anyway, he was a polyglot.

it's tricked

@@okiedukie How is it tricked when he "guessed" it right when he said she's from Vietnam..?

Still doesn't mean she speaks Vietnamese. She could've spoken almost any language.

@@vonnvoyaj You are Soares? That's a really common surname here in Brazil.

@@FallenLight0 I’ve heard! I have Portuguese background

@@vonnvoyaj that's very interesting

especially after the major clue: Germanic language.

It kinda hurts us Scandinavians too..

As a person who is half Turkish, ABSOLUTELY. In here UK, when people ask me where I am from, it’s really hard to answer because most of the people are not even aware of Turkey’s existence. PLUS some of them joke about it in a terrible way. “ I’m from Germany and Turkey” “Turkey? Are you from an animal?” Bruh. You can’t be serious.

Vibe check or no vibe check, he really did not do very well. The fact that he talked about Germanic and then proceeded to list not one single Germanic language, but instead Romance, Slavic and even Turkish (not even Indo-European) really is disappointing for a language teacher, even if he’s not a foreign-language teacher.

So Alexandria, did you learn any Vietnamese or Portuguese from your students?

the best part is that English itself is a germanic language

vonn thought at the start, ken's accent was germanic/ slavic? Lol

Obg 💕

SE Asians languages all sound alike to me. Also filipino, indonesian, malaysian & all their many dialects sound alike to me.

Thank you someone else noticed this - how are you supposed to hear them talking ??

nah, u mean his brother, alexander, whose much taller w' blond hair.

At least all of those are Indo-European. 😄 Turkish though … 😆

he said in beginning he thought germanic and slavic is similar, so proceeded to name slavic countries ( donno where got turkey?) after ken said he speaks germanic like language .lol

How do you understand young royals if your not from sweden?

@@skumdum3764 English Subtitles

Most Aussie I've heard had a much more pronounced accent and a very specific vocabulary. This guy didn't have any of that. Maybe he left it out on purpose or I've only heard backcountry aussies..

background music way too loud?

vonn guessed germanic/ slavic accent, thinking they were same, not! Lol

he said in beginning germanic / slavic accent. Donno how he got turkey?

He clapped in surprise and smiled when she said it, so he knew right away it was Vietnamese. He was just being polite by asking her questions for the sake of the video.

im american and thought it was norweigian lol not all Americans are like this

@@damonmcshanog5405 I didn’t say that lol but if you put a European to guess accents from different American states, the same problems could occur.. (less likely tho)

@@mariao.5539 Wtf you guys always saying if a european come and guess USA accent bla bla. Usa is just speaking same language and it's one country why should i know just one countries accents. You always see yourself so important. Then you just dont guess my language but also guess my language's different accent. It shouldn't be hard seperate french and german or swedish and russian or korean and viatnemese. These are languages not accents.

@@mariao.5539 I'm swedish and I can at least differentiate between Californian, Mid-Western, Southern, Tri-state, and New England accents.

Seems it wasn't needed here at least since he guessed a typical looking Swede could be from Turkey...

they usually call their country like this, thats why

technically they are from America. Like Mexicans, Canadians, Argentineans.

I'm sorry, since when people in Northern Macedonia speak Bulgarian? 🤣 There IS Macedonian language, very similar to Serbo-Croatian. Albanian language has co-official status. How can you be so close and spread misinformation

@@dominikal4864 are you from this planet? Makedonians were speaking Hellenic! There’s no Matsedonijan language… The population of Vardarska Banovina🇲🇰 is Bulgarians and Albanians! They use the Cyrillic alphabet as any other Slavic Nation when the Makedonian inscriptions were all in Hellenic! Serbs, Croatians, Bulgarians didn’t existed when Alexander was alive! The Slavs came to our area 600 years AFTER tue death of Alexander… Shake your head, take your medication, study a bit of History and then talk… UFO 🛸 👽

@@Kolious_Thrace you're talking about ancient Macedonian Hellenic language, that is extinct. Sure modern Macedonian and Bulgarian have a high degree of mutual intelligibility, but are not the same language. I get where you are coming from, but it doesn't change the fact, that world distinguishes a language being spoken in FYROM and calls it officially Macedonian, wheter you like it or not. Maybe they will change the name as they did with the country, but for now it is what it is. Peace.

@@dominikal4864 I’m really concerned about the school you attended… Where did you learn all these… shit? On your dreams? You told you that the ancient Makedonian language is extinct? Do you understand what I’m saying? Makedonians were Hellenes🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷 All of us we were speaking Hellenic! The Hellenic language got extinct in Makedonia but not in other parts of our country??? For real now??? Makedonians never stopped talking in Hellenic. During the invasion of the Slavic tribe sin our lands and later the Ottoman Empire we kept speaking our language, Hellenic! The term Makedonia was a meaning only in Hellenic! They cannot explain the term Matsedonija in their Slavic tongues… Μακεδονία / makedonía from Μακεδνός / makednòs = tall I don’t care what the world believes. The word believed that the Earth was flat… Russian, Serbian, Polish, Croatian, Bulgarians… etc etc are all Slavic languages. The language of Vardarska🇲🇰 is 99.99% the same with Bulgarian even though Bulgarians are saying that Skopjans have picked a bit of Serbo-Croatian accent. Grammar, vocabulary, alphabet… all SLAVIC, and by so NOT HELLENIC = NOT MAKEDONIAN!!! This county is not even a country, it was a province of Yugoslavia. Until 1950 they were named Vardarska Banovina. Then all of a sudden they die died that they were descended of Alexander the Great😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 There NO connection between Makedonia l🇬🇷 and Vardarska🇲🇰

Looks Polish ...

This is not offensive at all, really. We know Americans have no education. It's just embarrassing, not offensive.

clueless american. USA's education was #1, currently like #26-#28. I blame too many vacations / holidays where they forget what they learned. Japan only 1 month summer vacay and with homework.

@@ayato814 What you said is so dumb (or satire?). Europeans have so much more vacation and holidays than US Americans that it’s almost comical. And I haven’t ever met a monolingual European or an European child who doesn’t know basic geography or history like most adult US Americans I was friends with.
