I’ve always wondered what Indonesian sounds like to foreigners! 😆 It was also really interesting to describe the feel of these languages without going into actual vocab or grammar ❤

Indonesian languages is very simple, for example "where do you live?" You can place any word for the first, second etc in conversation (not for the grammar), "you live where?" "where you live?" "Live where you?" "live you where?".

This episode they manage to cast lots of good ppl, they're very communicative. They connect to each other naturally and the flow is very good. A bunch of smart extrovert ig. Except japan and Chinese girl, who seemed like introvert among this girls 😂

As an Indonesian, many people say German is the language of Hitler, but my president said German is the language of Schiller, Goethe, Beethoven and Mozart.

Whenever I hear Indonesian all I can think of is the R rolling and the only type of Indonesian entertainment that I can think of are The Raid films.

I adore this group of girls so much. Not only they are attractive and stylish, but quite highly educated and very well-mannered.

I’m from Calamba City, Laguna in the Philippines and I’m currently learned Bahasa Indonesia on my own since March 2023 using my language application, Duolingo(developed by Luis Von Ahn) and a KZfaq Channel, IndonesianPod101 and because I’m starting typing Bahasa Indonesia on KZfaq in some Indonesia-related videos, like beauty pageants, etc., my birthday wish by September is I want to study more Bahasa Indonesia in Metro Manila, especially various language schools in Alabang or anywhere and Indonesian Embassy in Makati City, where free Indonesian Language classes there rather than in Calamba City, because the city dosen’t have single language classes 😊😊 I hope to practice Bahasa Indonesia well because Indonesia is my favorite country and I like to meet Indonesian people as friends including pageant lovers and many others and my Indonesian Celebrity Crush was Lyodra and Tiara Andini(both are singers) so with all my heart, I hope to see you in Wonderful Indonesia next year and I will be waiting for you 😊😊 Love from Calamba City, Laguna in the Philippines 🇵🇭💕🇮🇩

Thanks to Genesia, Indonesia can be more well known.. The Indonesian Ministry of Tourism should pay her for her engagement here in International community.. 😂😂

Note that the languages featured in the video come from different language families, except for English and German, which are both Germanic. So when the American says that German sounds like an older, more sophisticated English, she's not entirely wrong. Although Chinese, Japanese, and Korean all use Chinese characters, they originate from different language families and have distinct characteristics. I understand why Genesia feels a bit defensive about Indonesian being perceived as similar to Thai. These languages don't even belong to the same language family. Judging them to be similar just because both are from Southeast Asia can come across as quite ignorant. If someone said Indonesian sounded like Tagalog, it would be more understandable since both languages belong to the Austronesian family. Stereotypes exist for a reason, but ultimately, how a language sounds depends on the speaker. A Japanese warlord and a kawaii girl from a maid café in Akihabara would sound completely different. Although I’m not a big fan, I do think Xiaomanyc’s impressions accurately reflect how foreigners perceive different languages. Genesia, as a polyglot, speaks all the languages featured in this video. If I were her, I’d be an insufferable show-off, so I’m thankful for her positive representation of Indonesia 😁

Semoga *Bahasa Indonesia* suatu saat jadi Bahasa Universal setara dengan Bahasa Jepang Korea Mandarin saat ini banyak diminati untuk belajar. karena kita tau Bahasa Indonesia punya potensi besar dan tersebar ke beberapa negara yang penggunanya diaspora warganegara Indonesia Serta Fakultas Jurusan Bahasa Indonesia di beberapa negara. 😊

Plz invite them together again this is very educational

I'm Indonesian, and while it's true that the lack of tenses, genders, conjugations make Indonesian seem like a very easy to learn language, we have a lot of prefixes and suffixes to change the meaning of a word. Remembering when to use it and how to put it might be challenging for most people 🤣

I am so sick of this stereotype that German is an angry language. Scream and every language sounds aggressive.

so back when i studied in korea in 2008, i had a relationship with a german woman and i could tell you it's a smooth and calming language.

Why do Indonesians say Indonesian is the easiest language to learn? because on average 90% of Indonesian people are born with a local language as their first language, when they are 5 years old they start learning Indonesian, this is a normal thing in Indonesia because Indonesia has many local languages, and that is the reason why people Indonesia says Indonesian is easy to learn, not only because we were born in Indonesia and we say Indonesian is the easiest language to learn, but that's the reality.

Indonesian is big country. You need learn Indonesia language to travel deep more. If you just speak english, maybe you just can go to Bali or Jakarta. Same as like china there Cantonese, Hakka and other dialect. Indonesia language is lingua franca. Many of them dont speak english.

Indonesian is a beautiful and cool language. In 2023, Indonesian will become the official language of the 10th UNESCO general assembly or conference.

The Japanese girl sounds indeed super super cute. The soft spoken high pitch sound, irresistible!!!

9:12 interesting as a German I get the same feeling when listening to Nordic languages. The words sound familiar but have that little bit of lost magic to them that out language lacks.

Besides just the tones themselves, Chinese is often spoken very expressively (Cantonese even more than Mandarin). Especially when the drinks are flowing, everything sounds 10x more dramatic than any other language. LOL I love it though.

Many stereotypes of the Chinese language came from Hong Kong movies, since it was very popular in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. So, the Chinese that the foreigners usually heard are Cantonese. Cantonese are loud, crude, and exaggerated. But the most spoken language in China is Mandarin. It sounds more soft, calm, and refined.

I loved this episode. Specially learning about Indonesian

Older, rich brother of English xD I can totally see that personification

Indonesian,,❤

I can guarantee that the man in the video is not speaking Mandarin, but Cantonese. Although I can't speak Cantonese, I can still hear it. To be honest, Cantonese is more suitable for singing because it rhymes, but it is very stiff and not soft when spoken normally.

In what world was the guy in the first english video speaking in a uk accent? It was incredibly obviously an American accent.

The craziest thing is, one person can speak to all of their languages, but they are cant talk her language, so she can be a spy among of them 😅

3:12..... What?? That didn't sound like a UK accent??? It was clearly American English. Did y'all watch a different video than what we saw?

07:38 I love when Indonesian girl trying to speak it xD

17:04 how did her arm merge with the TV?

I'm a German living in Spain married to a Spaniard. At our wedding celebration my Soanish family said about German that it sounded as if were always angry. My German family said about my Spanish family that it seemes they were always shouting at each other.. In one case it was for the sound of the language, in the other for the way of interacting. The outcome: the same.

1:53 - I totally ship this !

Favorite group in world friends 😊😊

Actually the ones who creating those stereotypes about German language they are German themselves. As far as I know those guys in the video who were comparing languages all of them are German.

Great episode

I'm from Germany and I'm not a big fan of our language, BUT it's not that aggressive at all. My favorite languages are Korean, Japanese and Mandarin. I just love them. Especially Korean and Japanese. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Indonesian language should be the official world language because its easy to learn, you can communicate in few months of learning it. In 3 months staying in Bali i can communicate and understand the locals with basic bahasa Indonesia. This language is beautiful.

thank you for invited a good women have better knowlage about indonesian languange, not like past time

Udah mulai jago ngasih judul sama thumbnail, channel ini tahu apa yang harus dilakukan.

Ngakak banget liat muka“ mereka fokus dan bingung gitu pas orang Indonesianya langsung ngomong pake bahasa indonesia 😂😂

There is a video from around 12 years ago called "How English sounds to non-English speakers" and it was mostly nonsense sounds with a few basic words and swears being actual English.

Make Indonesia better known to the world

Yeaa I love it ❤ Post anothers pleasee

This is full of positive vibe yoo

Genesia explained Bahasa Indonesia very well x)))

I hope we get a part 2 of this video with different countries ❤

If I can say Bahasa Indonesia don't have any characteristic accent. That's why, if you don't understand any word in Bahasa Indonesia, you cannot imitate or stereotyping the language

This group very great

12:00 Kotoha dozing off thinking about she talk very slow in Korean but the others says it was her cute point 😂😂

I think the Indonesian accent sounds like a Spanish accent.

22:06 𝗘𝘅𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻; ◽1 Butterfly : 1 Kupu-kupu ◽1 Spider : 1 Laba-laba ◽1 Firefly : 1 Kunang-kunang ◽1 Tortoise : 1 Kura-kura ◽1 Sheep : 1 Biri-biri ◽1 Dolphin : 1 Lumba-lumba ◽1 Otter : 1 Berang-berang ◽1 Squid : 1 Cumi-cumi ◽1 Falcon : 1 Alap-alap, etc If the animals above are plural, then; ◽2 Butterflies : 2 Kupu-kupu ◽2 Tortoises : 2 Kura-kura, etc If you ask how to differentiate between exceptions, then the answer is "I don't know".. wkwkwk 😂 🤣 🤭 The solution is that you have to specifically ask a native Indonesian about the word you mean.. We will tell you whether it is an exception or not..

just wait till indonesia becomes 4th biggest economy in the world, and people are gonna learn Indonesian language and it becomes popular

"Japanese sounds so cute" WW2 Japanese Imperial Army General crying at the corner. 😂

Where I'm from in California, people don't talk like that. 😂

Sebenernya genesia termasuk orang yg ngomong bahasa indonesianya cepet.

I dare anyone in the comments to pronounce “Rindfleischettiketierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz” (a word for a German law about beef).

Explaining that a bit like chinese and french made sense. Because Indonesia does get influenced by it's asian influence plus european influence

Kakaknya dr indonesia ngomongnya emang tipe cepet 😂😂😂😂😂 makanya dianggep seperti machine gun

For me Chinese is something like "................wan- 😊" 😂😂😂

Korean is a beautiful sounding language. If women speak it my heart melts.

Please invite your friends to visit Indonesia☺

8:28 I AM ALSO FROM BONN

Fact is that every language sounds aggressive when you shout😂

She said the guys peaking English random words had a UK ACCENT? WTF- it was very clearly and obviously a standard american accent.

10:17 That didn't sound russian to me at all xD

Genesia!👍🏻

The Korean Kkch sound lol I only make that sound if I have something super bitter or sour xD

Indonesian still similar to Dutch in the way pronouncing word, but Indonesian doesnt use throat vocal. Indonesian Alphabet adopt from Dutch Spelling, except G,J,R,U,Y.

I have a chinese friend and he said that Indonesian language sounds very fast like "tretetetet tretetetet" 😂😅

indonesian talk in similar way as spanish speaker, really fast.. that's because there are so many syllables in just one word, their normal speed sounds really fast to other people.

Cewek Jepang ngomong bahasa koreanya lucu wkwkwkwk

Hello bro; How are you' So I'm your go' Oke good 🙂😍🙏🤝✌️👍💞🌟🌎🇮🇩

I'm from Austria. No R in the back of the throat for me. Just speak the more relaxed Austrian German. 😄

There are many german words with no english translation which are very useful. Weltschmerz, Ohrwurm, verschlimmbessern, gemütlich, Zugzwang.

Indonesian language has suposed to be easy though, cause there's so many different languages and accent in every island in there....

to be honest the woman from germany is cute and attractive, only her who is different from other woman

German may be the harshest European language, but Chinese is the harshest Asian language. Chinese words and sentences are concise and punctuated, so it's very punchy/choppy. It's also a tonal language, so the tones are all over the place, up-down, up-down, ironically making it atonal, dissonant. It sounds very aggressive and overbearing, there's no flow to it. Many of the consonants too are quite shrill. I don't know why the Korean finds Chinese sexy, to me Japanese is a much sexier language and Korean too sounds much nicer than Chinese. That being said, I love me some dim sum, stir fry and Peking duck. 😊

That Japanese girl is so Kawaii😍. Chotto matte, chotto matte😅

I hate strotype because not accurate, but it's how human learning

Indonesian language is mixed melayu dutch and japan. How i know from history before 1945

Indonesian laguange is easy, yes, but in daily life, people in Indonesia speak their local/regional laguange more than Indonesia languange, because we have a lot of ethnicities, there are different accents even when we speak Indonesian languange. So nobody speaks proper Indonesian like the book taught 😁👍

11:09 cute

Lol Indonesian is just there to gather views 😂 Go Indonesian! Bahahaha

7:35 as a german i really hate this video by now. Literally EVERY video that talks about language differences use this sketch as an example, which obviously is a bad choice for that.

Kelihatan mau cari penonton 😂 dari Indonesia 😜, kelihatan dari tumbnail dan judul 😜😝😂

I kinda hate when they say german (and russian) sounds aggressive, when it isnt right, it only sound loud if you say it this way Coming from a german/ russian

next guess the language of the Indonesian region

English was spoken in a North American accent, not British.

Wow mantap 🇮🇩👍

20:14 doesn't sound french at all more like russian sound

What was Kotoha's dialect? Okinawan?🤔

Bravo 👏

0:33 gyoikitenkai !! Jujutsu Kaïsen !!!!!!!! i like it by Sukuna !

German is the best

That english was NOT in an english accent that was 100% american 😭😭

I think I'm fell in love to Joana! 🫣 Btw, Indonesian is an easy language to learn because it doesn't use sentence structures like the one Genesia explains. But what is difficult about bahasa Indonesian is writing. 80% of Indonesian people I have known in my entire life cannot write bahasa Indonesian properly. In fact it took me almost 3 years to learn to write properly. 😅 Overall, Genesia's explanation of bahasa Indonesian is the best of the 3 other Indonesians I've seen in content like this. KERJA BAGUS, Neng!! 👏

Why do people think German sounds very harsh, i learnt german in high school and i felt in love with the pronouncactions immediately
