Anywhere wild and rural: exists Jack: it must be the Faroe Islands The Faroe Islands are actually quite like Scotland but with more Scandinavian/Icelandic terrain. The architecture consists of quite a colourful Swedish style as well. Edit: it also has no trees

14:16 I love how Jack closed up on the sign but didn't even notice the Hungarian flag 😂

17:54 It's called Winter, happens once a year in some places.

Jack: "It really does feel more european" also Jack: *instantly zooms into south asia*

Very clearly romance language: exists Jack: yeah, that's Finland

For future reference, Tonga is too tropical to look like that, that is just a Western suburb. And NZ has a sizable Tongan population with over 82,000. Plus your chances of actually seeing Tonga in one of these rounds is pretty slim (as in never, they don’t have official street view) when compared to NZ.

in hungary, you literally missed the depiction of the hungarian flag on the store sign at the ice cream shop place

Here are some tips for Singapore: 1. The danger sign like in 7:43 as you can see it has four languages, because singapore has 4 languages those are Malay, English, Chinese and Indian (Tamil) 2. Some of the singaporean buses a have this sign saying “SG*love sign*BUS” if you can see SG stand for Singapore, so it’s quite easy to know that is Singapore That’s all the tips I have thanks Edit: also the singaporean buses plate numbers always starts from, SG, SMB, SBS, or TIB (no more using TIB) for now

Jack, some suggestions for Italy: -95% of italian words end with vowels, differently from other romance languages -The double blue license plates are italian (but they can also be French) -If you see a lot of Fiat Panda (like you did on 17:19 ) it's certainly Italy (most common car) -A lot of people also usually forget Italy isn't just sun and sea, there are a lot of mountains, so if you see an alpine looking place don't exclude Italy right away

“This is a very English looking motorway” The cars were driving on the right hand side of the road and in England we drove on the left.

8:14 That Orange car is called a Ute, it’s a mix between a pickup truck and a car and they are usually seen in Australia

Me being really bad at geography seeing CLEARLY tons of Italian words in the last one is shocked that this didn't seem obvious to you 🤣 (And I'm not Italian either)

12:07 Lots of coutries use STOP on stop signs even if they don't speak English so a stop sign often doesn't say much

*12:16* bro why did I die hearing this 💀

Canada tips:Also some Canadian cities use the French language cities like Montreal Antigua tips: if you’re put in Antigua you should probably look at the houses,if they are colored you might be start looking in Antigua. If you see French fry beach 🏖️ you’re definitely in Antigua

6:19 definitely did not miss a Singapore flag

Jack: Reads Spanish like 3 times Also Jack: It could be france

Here are some tips & tricks that I commonly use while playing: There's a lot, but I promise they're helpful! I tried to keep it to facts that should help you narrow it down to one individual country License plate tips: - Bhutan has red plates - Portugal has an additional yellow stripe on the right - France's plates have a blue stripe on the right with a multicolored symbol on the top. If it looks only slightly blue on the right, it's probably French - Belgian plates have red text. If you see a hint of blue it's probably Belgium - Russian plates are white - Some cars/vans/trucks in Norway will have a green plate - Malaysia and Indonesia both have black plates. Indonesia can have three spaces in between the white text, and Malaysia two. It isn't super consistent though. Signs: - A simple one, but if the signs are on the left, you're likely in a country that drives on the left. Unless it's a no passing sign. - Give way signs: In Australia the text is black, in NZ it's red - Malaysian stop signs say Berhenti, Indonesian ones say Stop Road lines: - The US will always have a double striped line on non-residential roads - Canada usually has a single yellow line, but you can sometimes see a double striped line too - Norway has yellow lines - Brazil has double striped yellow lines, similar to the US - Most of South America will have a white middle line Languages: - If it's a Latin alphabet, it's always helpful to try to pronounce it if you can. It could give you a clue as to its origins - Bengali's script usually looks pointier than Hindi - Sri Lanka's scripts look circle-y - Cambodian has a lot of circles - Lao letters have a more defined/square shape - Ukrainian uses more of ï and less of И - Balkan Cyrllic uses Đ - ł is an exclusively Polish letter - Finnish has a lot of umlauts - Estonian, Lithuanian, Latvian, and Hungarian are all accent-heavy languages - Hungarian exclusively uses the double dashed umlaut type thing: ő Misc tips: - The farther east you go in Russia, the more "Asian" the cars begin to look. If you're in Vladivostok for example, the cars would look Japanese. - In many African or Middle Eastern countries, it's not uncommon to have an "escort car" consistently behind the street view car

16:34 A good way to distinguish Spanish and Italian on signs or directions is to remember that the word DI (eg lacco di rosole) appears in Italian as a word meaning of, like the word de or del in Spanish. It will be much more common to see on Italian road signs etc. Also Spanish has a special character, Ññ (pronounced enye) that isn't in the Italian alphabet. Note: I'm not Spanish or Italian, but lived in Spain for 5+ years and can speak it enough to understand a conversation and reply with correct grammar.

9:33 THE ACSENT

13:30 Jack british accent at its peak.

Tips: say Canada when you see tall trees, and you don’t see any signs, if you see tall trees it could be Alaska. But most locations of Alaska have camps or signs

“I would sit so hard right there” My dirty mind has entered the chat

A few tips with languages: 1. if you see this accent: ´ on anything except an e, youre not in france (they only put it on e's) 2. if you see an Ę / ę or Ą / ą and a lot of sz or accents on n, c, z (or a dot like ż) or s, youre probably in poland 3. if you see an Å / å youre probably in scandinavia and if there is also an ö or ä, youre in sweden 4. japanese uses chinese characters, but they also use katakana and hiragana, which look way simpler and hiragana has a lot of curves 5. in the cryllic alphabet, the letter ы isnt used in ukrainian, but the latin letter i is 6. thats what hebrew looks like: בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 7. korean looks like very blocky, geometrical chinese 8. Ř / ř is mainly used in czech 9. if you see Å / å and Ø / ø, youre in norway or denmark 10. if you see german, but it looks very weird, youre in finland (lol) 11. ı (i without a dot) is mainly used in turkish 12. if you see something that resembles arabic, but is written vertically, youre in mongolia 13. if you see ö, ü or ä, youre probably in germany or estonia. if you also see õ, youre in estonia I'll edit this if more comes to mind׃

Lmfao I recognised the highway on 4:35 and was so confused for a second. Very cool!

FYI: Norway uses an EU-ish Licence plate, but with the norwegian flag instead of the EU one. On small rural roads in norway, the markings are often dashed lines on the side On larger roads the middle markings are yellow Some streets don't have any markings at all (usally only in cities such as Oslo)

Hello! Serb here! Here are some tips for geogessr to know if you are in Serbia: 1. In Serbia, there are signs that have Cyrillic and latin together, for example: Нови Сад - Novi Sad 2. If you are in a city in Serbia, for example Zemun (Земун), you will definitely see some Orthodox churches. 3. In the capital, Belgrade (Београд), You will see some Serbian embassy's or those buildings 4. Serbia for short is RS as in Republic of Serbia (English is not my first language so, i can't remember some words in English)

Tips for Europe -Italy has blue strips on both sides of license plates, and the front plate is way shorter than the back plate. -Those electricity poles with many holes in them, are mostly found in Hungary, Romania and Poland. Romania usually has the bottom of their poles painted in white, while Hungary’s poles are usually thicker than the ones in Poland or Romania. -If you have a giant rift or a hole in the middle of the sky, you should be in either Montenegro or Albania. Albania uses a mixture of double blue strips (like the one in Italy) and one red strip on their license plates. -Portugal has a yellow strip on the right side of their listened plates, and the eu blue strip on the left. -The electricity poles that are shaped like the letter ‘A’ are mostly found in the Baltic countries -Serbia and North Macedonia usually don’t have an antenna on the back of their car.

7:40 For Singapore, they have 4 official languages usually displayed in this order; English, Chinese, Tamil, and Malay. So that sign was a very good indication that we're in Singapore. Also, there was the Singapore MRT logo (which is the subway system) there as well.

As a Hungarian I have never seen anybody mistake a tobacco shop for an ice cream shop and I almost died of laughter.

Tips for the Middle East: -for the middle of highways: striped with black and yellow. -if the store names written in French English and Arabic there is a high chance it will be Lebanon

As a Singaporean, I immediately recognised my country and here are a few tips: 1. At 7:03 while you were looking at the banner, you can see in the corner a few logos. The first one is Temasek foundation, Temasek is what Singapore used to be called the rest of the logos also represent foundations in Singapore 2. When theres a sign with 4 different languages, normally English Chinese Malay and Indian, you can automatically assume its Singapore as these are the four most common languages here. 3. On the road, you can see a few green buses. On the side they literally have the words “Sg*heart*Bus”. 4. If you see high rise building with void decks below, those are most likely HDB flats, the most common housing in Singapore.

Geoguesser tip: Avoid picking countries you are not in

My brains dying when jack plays geoguessr Anyway: 1 Faroe Islands barely has any trees, and it looks kinda like Scotland, also you will basically always see a body of water in the Faroe Islands 2 I almost had a heart attack when you mentioned Finland and Faroe Islands for the last round, anyway for future reference the world di, del or de are normal in Latin languages like Spanish French or Italian. 3 when the language has the letter w and l with the weird thing in the middle it is polish. 4 All the former Yugoslavian countries have yellow road signs 5 letters S z and ö are always common in Hungary and are a clear clue 6 Singapore has circular road signs with a green background and white text 7 Baltic countries look like the Nordic countries but have worse infrastructure and look poorer bcs they were a part of the Soviet Union. Estonian sounds a lot like finnish and uses lots of vowels and letters like u with the curvy thing on top. If you see the word iela somewhere it is always Latvia, because iela means street.

As a bulgarian if you are in plovdiv its a city in bulgaria u can see post in the center its a big building in white,if you are in Sofia the capital u can see the national palace if culture its a big building a lot of the area of the building is covered in black and it has some white

"I think we're in England" This is the one road in England where they drive on the RIGHT side of the road

4:35 It could never have been England, because they drive on the right side of the road. Never forget to check which side of the road they drive on, because that way you can almost always immediately exclude a bunch of countries.

You did not have many tips about the middle east/north africa so here are some of mine! There are only 3 countries that speak Arabic that will appear on Geoguessr frequently - Jordan, UAE, and Tunisia. Israel is also in the middle east, but they speak in Hebrew. If you are in the UAE, it will frequently be near Dubai, so lots of modern things, etc. You will also usually find more English here. If you are in Tunisia, it will typically seem quite deserty. Also all phone numbers in Tunisia will have only a 2 digit area code. Also a car that follows the google one. If you are in Jordan, you might also find some English. Look for the yellow/green cars, they are really common there. Hope this helps! Edit - More from comments

“That does not sound like Canadian to me” as a non-canadian with absolutely no canadian history, my heart still sank

Tips for hungary! Since you missed the "ice cream shop" that is actually a cigarette boutiqe, every single one has the hungarian flag on its logo below the 18. Very weird looking latin *wovels* with dots and lines above it are usually hungarian but if theyre *syllables* theyre most definietly are polish or other slavic languages. When in the rural area, a lot of houses can be pretty nice eith a cute garden and fence around it, but also the diversity shows collapsed buildings sometimes. When in a more populated area, try to look for as many flags as you can, you will definietly find a hungarian one in a few minutes because we jjst love our flag. Hope this helps🤍

You should definitely learn more about different languages, I feel that for most Europeans knowing a bit of other languages is common knowledge. For example, all of the signs in the last round were screaming Italian to me.

“Look what I’ve got” *(sees me)* “A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one” Never thought I’d be in one, but thanks for the belated birthday gift, Jack! So regarding that Singapore guess, I knew immediately it was Singapore just by looking at the architecture. It’s European style mixed with tropical vibes. So I’d guess Singapore in Battle Royale: Countries without further looking, because when you’re playing Battle Royale: Countries like I do and especially during the final round, that part of the time where you can lock your answer is crucial. Also, the font of those street signs are distinctly Singaporean. If you ever see that font, it is Singapore.

Jack! I love in Switzerland, and when I saw that sign, I realized I lived 5 minutes away from where JackSucksAtLife played geoguesser 😅. Every time you see a hill with a wire fence, yellow signs with öüä those kind of letters and a wooden bench looking out into a valley, that Switzerland. Thank you, father.

14:16 in the ice cream shop, a sign board says 'nemzeti dohanybolt' with the HUNGARIAN FLAG!

3:35 Jack: "It looks europien" Also Jack: *zooming in on india

Loving the geoguessr content! Hopefully there'll be more soon. Sometimes I rewatch the old geoguessr videos from when the channel was first made because they're so enjoyable

the fact he almost confused switzerland with the faeroer islands is just hilarious

3:34 AS SOMEONE POLISH THAT WAS A MEAT SHOP/BUTCHER SHOP 5:26 BRO I ALWAYS SAW STORKS ON POSTS IN POLAND,NOT JUST A LITHUANIA THING!

4:34 Jack: “from the top” Me: make it drop, its a _map, its a map_

10:07 the words of a legend "oh me batteries ran out

Jack: lives in England, a famously left-hand drive country Jack: sees motorway where cars are driving on the right Jack: this looks like England

7:02 I'm a Singaporen myself and that sign, poster thing was a big hint as at least in my neighbour hood is quite common and small icons at the bottom right is also a big hint .Also be on the look out for the blue recyclings bin because that also pinpoints Singapore, the bins can be large, on wheels with a sticker that says what can and can't be reycycled

Maybe it helps a bit to recognize italian language: most italian words end in a vowel. 17:06 "Del" is one of the exceptions because it's an preposition which was connected, normally "del" would be two words. The two words would be "di" and "il" if somebody wants to know it

Alternative title: I get corrected for the smallest things I do wrong in geogussr

I love when you said Switzerland so funny😂😂 9:33

A little tip, shops in Spanish generally have a similar name to what they sell with an occasional reference to english, for example Farmacia - which is like farmacy

Tip for the Faroe islands, you will almost always be able to see the ocean and mountains and their aren't a lot of trees and even though we are a part of Denmark we are not in the EU

I'll fly an Indonesian flag outside my house in the Philippines to recreate the Tonga incident

4:31 As someone from NZ, I can assure there are many Tongan people living here - I've counted 20 on my street alone.

I’m Canadian 🇨🇦 🍁! We have a lot of rural areas but in Vancouver and Toronto we have more urban areas too so maybe cold places with maple trees or nonstop fields

13:56 In the lower half of Belgium they speak French, that's why there are hints of it. Not because it borders France. Also if something is written in Dutch and French chances are big it's Belgium since those are the two dominant languages in Belgium.

fun fact: I learned all 197 flags and countries all with Jack’s help. If you didn’t create this channel and do these videos, I wouldn’t do so well in geography. Before Jack, I literally had a C- in geography, but now I have an A+, which meansI have at least an A in every class! Thank you so much, Jack. I couldn’t have done it without you.

Faroe Islands is just like Greenland where there is just rocks and snow

I’m so proud of Jack for guessing my country right 😂

someone please teach jack how to pronounce “cyrillic” i’m dying 💀 (also long comment ahead, you have been warned) speaking of which, i’ve been learning ukrainian for about 3 months, so here is a quick lesson on the ukrainian alphabet, which does differ slightly to other cyrillic languages: - quite a few characters in the cyrillic alphabet look the same as latin characters, eg: Аа Вв Сс Ее Нн Іі Кк Мм Оо Рр Уу Хх - typically if signs do have latin text they’re underneath the cyrillic, not right next to it - ukrainian and russian are slightly different. for example ъ doesn’t exist in ukrainian - another slight difference is that in ukrainian є is a character, whereas in russian it’s э and just for fun, since things in the cyrillic alphabet are pronounced phonetically and it might be fun to see jack try to pronounce things, here is the ukrainian alphabet: Аа - like ‘a’ in cat Бб - like ‘b’ in bus Вв - like ‘v’ in very Гг - like ‘h’ in hot (but with more energy if that makes sense???) Ґґ - like ‘g’ in golden Дд - like ‘d’ in dog Ее - like ‘e’ in egg Єє - like ‘ye’ (can’t think of an example) Жж - like ‘s’ in leisure Зз - like ‘z’ in zebra Ии - like ‘i’ in little Іі - like ‘ee’ in sweet Її - like ‘yi’ (can’t think of an example) Йй - like ‘y’ in yes Кк - like ‘k’ in kiss Лл - like ‘l’ in lemon Мм - like ‘m’ in mouse Нн - like ‘n’ in nose Оо - like ‘o’ in office Пп - like ‘p’ in problem Рр - rolled ‘r’ (like in the spanish ‘deporte’) Сс - like ‘s’ in ‘salt’ Тт - like ‘t’ in turtle Уу - like ‘o’ in beetroot Фф - like ‘f’ in fruit Хх - pronounced like kh - kinda like a hard ‘h’ sound Цц - like ‘ts’ in lots Чч - like ‘ch’ in chips Шш - like ‘sh’ in shorts Щщ - ‘shch’ - try saying freSH CHerries, emphasising the sh in fresh and ch in cherries Ьь - soft sign, makes the sound before it softer Яя - ‘ya’ ( like the german ja) Юю - like ‘yu’ (idk how to explain it) i’m not gonna go into all the rules of like what makes certain sounds soft or hard, because that confusing. (also please let me know if i could’ve explained anything better here, i’m pretty new to this lmao) also, black license plates are found throughout indonesia and malaysia

Quick Tip: Australia have very similar rules to the uk (car wise) so if your unsure where your at Australia have - Drive on the left - Right hand drive cars - Similar number plates to American vehicles

I always feel so happy when you reference Canada because your the only geography channel i watch (im canadian)

17:13 your Italian is so strange hahaha XD

One simple trick to recognizing Hungarian: It's the only language that uses the letter ő - that is an o with two accents (not to be confused with ö, an o with umlaut). It's a very common letter in Hungarian as well, so it's a rule that has a lot of use! I use a bunch of little tricks to distinguish between similar languages, but at the level of "this one has long words" I don't think they'd be very helpful lol. But maybe one you might find useful is that Finnish and Estonian use a lot of double vowels - if you see a long word with "uu" and "ii" in it, you're probably in one of those two.

as an Italian I can give you some advices 1) most of the words ends with a vowel 2) don't exclude Italy when you see mountains because in the north there are the alps 3) the REAR plates have the 2 blue things on both sides, but only the rear one 4) pay attention to words like 'via ' (example : via Annia) 5) 'San' it is used to indicate a church or some religious place, so if you see something like (example) 'basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano) it's Italy (btw all the examples I made I got them from Google maps so it's possible that you can easily find them on the map💀)

4:37 jack: sees cars driving on the right Also jack: I think it’s England

"Very England looking motorway" well yeah, except they're on the wrong side of the road then! :D

Lots of great tips! Lovely to see more Geoguessr content! ^^

[sections enclosed in square brackets are additions to the original comment] Whenever it is cloudy: ‘Are we in Sweden/Finland/Norway/Denmark?’ No, Jack! You don’t know what Nordic countries look like at all! Please have a look at what Nordic houses and terrain looks like, because it is very distinctive, and easy to notice. That Italian round was particularly bad, because you didn’t realise that it was winter at all. There [are] trees with no leaves on them! Believe it or not, Italy gets cold in the winter! The -io and -o suffixes are also very Italian. The à/á is very common in places like Hungary, I think. ‘los’, ‘de la’ is always Spanish, ‘das’/‘da’ is Portuguese. Also, Romanian is a Romance language, and is similar to Italian, so don’t let yourself be caught out by that. The EU number plates help to distinguish between countries like Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia, from countries like Russia and Ukraine. Quite often, when there are no signs, the landscape is the most important thing to pay attention to. I can generally distinguish between Nordic, Western European, Mediterranean, Eastern Ukrainian/Western Russian, North American, South American, MENA, and African terrain, which helps a lot. It’s a good idea for you to familiarise yourself with these different climates, and also to recognise that the weather is not so important. Just because the area is cloudy, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is somewhere away from the poles. I often see countries like Kenya being cloudy/rainy (the name of the country will often be on churches, too, for Kenya), for example.

the thing with belgium is thta we speak dutch and french and in the north-east even german. some other countires speak multiple languages in parts of their country too. also, knowing a lot of languages can help finding a countrie. greek and latin are inflated in a bunch of languages so if you see "itinerario" it is a roman language because "iter" is latin for "way". this means it is in italy or spain or something

Another tip regarding the storks: Portugal has a lot of storks on lamp post as well. There are sometimes roads where every lamppost has a stork nest on it

Tip: Your best guesses with blurry photos are the US or Australia Another tip is that some vechile brands are only available in certain countrys so use that to your advantage Licence plates in the US give good hints towards the state you are in.

Bpost is always belgian. Belgium has 3 official languages, German Dutch and French, so if you see any of those languages, you could be in Belgium

I am from Switzerland and those yellow hiking signs are very common, so look out for them next time in Geoguesser. Love your videos

As a faroese person Just letting you know that 1. the faroe islands have almost no trees, if they have it is auround houses 2. You always see the sea 3. It is very tiny

Windmill appears Jack: this is the Netherlands

9:12 UHM?

“What are they selling in that ice cream shop?” -Jack 2022

As a proud Canadian I would like to point out a couple of things for help whenever playing geoguesser 1. We have lots of maple trees 2. We mainly speak English and French people here have a variety of skin tones. 3. We mainly have cars that have the drivers seat on the left side not the right side. 4. It can usually be very sunny in summer and sometimes it is super cloudy. And finally 5. The grass is usually quite green

Tips - Finland - On the West side of Finland there Is Swedish and Finnish Languages, In Åland(Part of Finland) Mostly Swedish -signs are not always long. - city names for example (Helsinki,Turku,KemiJärvi,Kouvola,Oulu) Keep a eye out for ( -Järvi) It will most likely be Finland

Some tips for hungary: - The letters "ő" and "ű" (not to be confused with "ö" and "ü") are only found in the hungarian language - Storks on lampposts are also common here - the "Sz" is common, you had a good lead there - Tobacco stores are all over the place, which is what the "ice cream shop" was - The license plates have a thicc blue band, as you found out

5:56 that is a Swedish road sign (it is what is also used for the apple command logo

JACK I always go on holiday here in east wittering and it’s so amazing to be there and that it’s on KZfaq

16:34 Jack whenever you find "Di" in a sentence, it is mostly italian

You littelary missed the Hungarian flag at the ice cream place below the 18,also I'm in Hungary on a trip right now so I could instantly recognise the language! Love from Budapest! P.S Hungarian tip, Hungary loves its flag, you can't go 100 meters here in Budapest without seeing one, also there are a lot of other flags in Hungary, so if you see a lot of groups of flags, watch out if there's a Hungarian one! Great video as always!

4:35 "I think that is England" meanwhile every car driving on the right.

as an Aussie, very proud of you Jack! 😂❤

For Finland: Most signs for different cities and towns are in two languages, Finnish first and then Swedish.

For future reference In Singapore we have warning message at construction side in all 4 major language (English, Chinese, Malay, Tamil) eg 7:40. And alot of places will have sign in english and chinese together

Switzerland and germany can also be easy to spot by the Blury circle when you look straight down. Switzerlands camera will be closer to the floor than the other countries too. Germany doesnt have alot of road coverage so more often than not you'll be in a city, alot of randomly blurred buildings is another germany giveaway (germany isnt the only country that has this but it will have more than others). Obviously combine this information with other things like languages just to be safe

9:38 I had the feeling that that is Switzerland all along lol Idk why but it really looked Swiss to me

Blue on both sides of the number plate is an Italian thing. I've noticed it's quite common in Albania too. Similarly in Portugal, they have blue on the left and yellow on the right side of the number plate.

Some middle east tips: 1) In Israel/Syria/Lebanon, you can find a flag that looks similar to the pride flag of the Druze community in the north region. 2) In most cities there Street market called a bazaar and its very common to find one. 3) All of the Arabic-speaking countries are in the Northern Hemisphere. 4) Tajik is Persian written in the Cyrillic script. 5) The is NOT a lot of street view in the middle east.

Jack a tip is in New Zealand people usually put up flags of where they’re from. Hope this helps.

when he said “wheely bin” i screamed “ITS A GARBAGE CAN JACK”
