i just find it kind of sad tbh
@@valkyrie941 I think it's because Britain seems closer to the US than central Europe idk. I am Austrian and I feel like Austria is closer to almost every nation in central Europe than the UK. I still think that in the end europe would stick together if there was an all out war.
@@steirerbua5322 It is most certainly because of brexit and the way british politicians speak about other nations. The current british prime minister has been quite insulting to the french for example, even back when he was the maire of london.

7:17 Note that this poll was conducted in 2020, right after Brexit, when people in the EU were still salty about Britain's decision to leave the union. Public opinion has shifted since then, especially over the last few months. Most people where I live have been deeply moved by the extent to which the UK (and other countries) has gone to help Ukraine, and, as a result, now have an overwhelmingly positive view of Britain. If the poll was conducted again, the results would look very different.
We were never salty about the decision to leave, we were utterly confused after the decades of concessions towards the UK.
We were angry about English politicans wasting everybodies time, doing a hundred course "corrections" just to immediately breach contract by trying to still participate in the Free Economic Zone. They very thing they just left 5 minutes ago.
It somehow confirmed two stereotypes:
The French don't like anyone all that much
Nobody likes the Brits all that much
Brexit machine go brrrrrr
What's ironic is Brits on board with helping everyone too lmao
most brits dont like brits all that much
U is forgetting that everyone considers UK in US sphere of influence and that during a crisis that they would do the heavy lifting for England as long as they are in a position to do so.
You can't really confirm stereotypes.

at what point in history did the english help others out of charity?
As a Finn, I find it slightly amusing but also sad that many Europeans are willing to help us but apparently we only care about Estonia... 😅 I'd like to believe that fellow Finns are willing to help others too but then again, there are some weird people out there.
However, I wonder why it showed red in UK since I've never heard any Finn complaining about Brits.
I was a bit surprised that Finland apparently don't think very highly of us, I thought Finland was one of the countries that actually liked us lol.
@@alexfoster307 The map doesn't really relate a huge amount to how well countries like each other. Britain has, for some time, liked to portray itself as a strong, independent nation different from the rest of Europe, thus sending the message that it doesn't need help. Also, in all of Europe, the Brits are most likely to be negative about their own country, which is also selling a message that it's not worthwhile helping Britain. Finally Brexit sent a message that Britain doesn't even want to be part of Europe, especially with strong ties to other English speaking countries. I fully expected Britain to come bottom on most of these maps, but not on maps of most liked.
@@chriswatson7965 England is one of the most hated countries in the world.
@@alexfoster307 Finland likes you. The map was wrong. There are in general wrong informations of Finland? I don't know why.
By the way UK and Finland signed the contract to help each others in conflicts.
It’s because we’re a small country and we can’t afford to send troops to places that aren’t a direct threat to us
Fun fact about Romania: They are in fact willing to help people. In 1968 during the occupation of Czechoslovakia, Romania was the only one of the states in warsaw pact that did not participate and even lodged a diplomatic protest.
But everybody hate us in Europe regardless...every time people ask me where I'm from and I say Romania they all look like I hit them in the head with a pan, probably expect me to say Germany or the Netherlands but I don't care, the level of hostility has gone very mad no lie.

Alleen wij mogen jullie pesten.
0:39 in recent years there is a LOT of immigrants from the middle east moving to sweden, way more than the usa, and roughly equaling the immigrant levels in canada. sweden only has 10.4 million people, so you can see why this is making swedish the dominent language learned in sweden.
Not only is it equal to the immigration level we have in Canada but more importantly, most immigrants in English Canada come from India, China, and the Philippines who are all taught English in school as a second language and most immigrants in Quebec come from France, Haiti, Algeria and Maroc so they all already speak french. So most of our immigrants don't actually need to learn any language. Meanwhile, except for the Finns, no immigrant in Sweden actually speak Swedish.
@@giantWario I should have worded this better, what I met to say is immigrant levels in sweden are relative to canada in general, not singleing out on people in arabic regions. lots of these immigrants happen to be from the middle east. around 5.3% of the population of sweden was made of people who speak arabic in 2013, because of the syrian war, and I should also mention I forgot to talk about indian and pakistani immigrants going to sweden recently, and that they make up a substantial amount of the immigrants. I don't mean that the situation in canada is identical to the immigrant situation in sweden in every way. also thanks for telling me about the algerian and morrocan immigrants. I was not aware of that because I live in far western alberta.
@@spaghettispacecat8320 About 1/5 of the current US is made up of people born from another country. So idk if what you claim about Sweden having more immigrants than the US is entirely true.
@@stephenjenkins7971 again, I am terible at explaining things, sorry.
@@stephenjenkins7971 Well the problem is that we have way more immigrants then we can handle and they are handled extremely badly. They get all of our amazing rights (like basically free money and living for absolutely free) without any (like none at all) of our obligations. And our politicians still thinks we can take in much more, while we're doing worse and worse economically, they have to increase tax to have enough money and problem areas are getting more and more common
Someone tell Drew that a LOT of immigrants from Somalia and Syria go to Sweden.
Syria yes, Somalia no
@@davidbengtsson4964 Look at the statistics my guy. Somalia is the African country with the most refugees in Sweden.
@@reallyFrogman Yes, because Somalia is currently the only African country that is producing refugees so even if there were only two Somalis in Sweden Somalia would still hold that title...
@@krashd I guess no one ever tried to leave any other part of Africa

Germany is willing to help austria
Austrian Goverment: lets visit serbia
Some context about duolingo :
The scandinavian countries have a very good level in english that they learn in school. So if you want to visit, you can talk to anyone in english without any language barrier. Hence they don't learn english on duolingo and prefer to learn another language, which happens to be spanish.
The swedes learn primarily swedish on duolingo because there is a very very very very high immigration flow to sweden. So it's very self explanatory.
Drew: points at balkan countries

Funny how Britain is willing to help everyone out but noone would help them
Anti-British sentiment is high because of brexit, even though Brits are still trying to be a helpful ally. Go figure
Don't worry. That will balance out soon.
I think there is just a fundamental difference in te way britain and mainland Europe sees the EU. It was never really seen as anything more than an economic union here, but based on the reaction from the mainland I assume that it is slightly more symbolic. Knowing that, I think its completely understandable. That being said, Britain did make an effort to show that leaving was not symbolic in any way, and there's only so many times you can ignore that before it becomes just pettiness.
@L M did you watch the video?
@@baileyjones4379 I think most people understand why Britain left the EU (sentiment towards the EU is pretty shaky in most places) but it was still the first one to "leave the team", and that's inevitably going to create negative sentiment. That said I wouldn't call it anti-British sentiment (since I don't think I've ever heard anyone say anything bad about the UK where I live). People are just kind of ambivalent now. This is in contrast to the pre-Brexit era, when UK was generally held in high regard as one of the core countries of the EU.
As a Greek, our relation with Italy is so long and complicated yet we can never hate them. We love the mofos. It's like a family, yes you occasionally fight but you remain family. Going way back that both Greeks and Romans alike hated Carthaginians. Most know how Romans wiped Carthaginians, but don't know the first that defeated Carthaginians were us. Even after WWII, only Italians by themselves cared enough and came here to see how they can help while their own country had its problems too. Even as Constantinople was falling only an Italian with his army came for help and afterwards the Genovese gave us permission to live safely in Corsica. Such things Greeks don't forget. Having the Italian people by your side, you don't need much else in this world.
How good that Greeks forget the Italian invasion in second ww before they came again to help. Its somehow sweet to see that millennium old history is taken as reason to like each other
Italian invasion of Greece was s big giant mistake. A national embarrassment.
My grandpa was sent in Greece and he told nobody understood WHY we were attacking people who look just like us (as we say "one face one race") and never did something wrong against us!
In school we still study ancient Greek lenguage and mythology!
It was just stupid.

There is a town in Spain, I believe it's Torrevieja, that has the largest norwegian population outside of Norway
It's full of norwegian restaurants, and even norwegian churches (in plural)
There Fuengirola too, a town in Spain with the largest Finnish community outside of Finland. There's even media channels in Finnish.
Then there's Altea which is quite popular with Russian tourists/ex-pats/immigrants (Russian Orthodox Basilica built there).
My grandma lives there but she is not from Norway
The town is named Alfaz del Pi in the Province of Alicante, Valencian Community. Also in the Province of Alicante there is the town of San Fulgencio whose 80% of the population are foreigners, the British being the landslie majority of that 80%.
0:40 I think it is from the people who came to Sweden in 2015 mostly from the Middle East and North Africa, but for school subjects Spanish is the most popular 3rd language in school
funny to see Swedistan, where Swedish is second known language, first is probably Syrian
@@artos9406 Syrian isn’t a language

@@artos9406 Swedish is the first language in Sweden, and by a massive margin. They took in migrants, but they didn't replace their population with them.

BALKAN. It's BALKAN NOT BALTIC. Drew, I hope you realize people will get you for this (not me but I'm sure others will).

Well, there's a difference to be said: we Italians are not favorable to help a country in an aggression war, but in a defensive war, everyone can count on us.
Fun fact: Since Brexit, there is no country in the EU that uses English as their native language, not even Ireland or Malta. It is just "official language".
So? English isn’t even an official language in England (and Britain as a hole).

No war this year then...
As someone from Croatia (which is not a Baltic country, btw), why would I want to be learning English via Duolingo if I was already taught that language in school? Like, why would we need a learning app for such a simple language (which everyone here knows anyway)?
Im from Germany and I can just agree
Same here in Slovenia. Many of us are also learning German as second foreign language in school.
‘There seems to be a lot of bitterness towards the British in Europe’
yup… 😭
And people wonder why the UK voted to leave. You have your answer. Bitterness was there before Brexit, not only now years after it.
5:10 yeah I live in Cagliari and I can confirm there are a lot of ancient Tunisian (Carthage) monuments here
That's because Cagliari was founded by the Carthaginians. And in the southernmost part of Italy there were several Greek colonies; the Magna Graecia. In fact, there are Italiot Greek-speaking minorities living in there nowadays.
Here in Spain, the Carthaginians founded Cádiz (Gadir), Málaga (Malaka), and Cartagena (Qart Hadasht).
Bruh those are not CARTHAGINIANS those are Sardinians monuments. They are called nuraghi!
@@Boretheory but there aren't any nuraghes here, I was talking about the old settlements
@@ElHeraldoHispano And Carthage was also called “ Qart Hadasht “ in the Punic language. It meant “new city”, and the word “hadasht” is almost the same as the current Hebrew word for new too
@@sharoneisenberg2274 That's because Hebrew and Punic languages were related. Punic language was basically a dialect of Phoenician language (Carthage was a Phoenician colony; the Carthaginians themselves were descendants of the Phoenicians). Phoenician and Hebrew are Semitic languages, just like Arabic, Syriac, Aramaic... And plus, they are both from the Levantine Mediterranean. No wonder why they share many words.
I like the fact that no one wants to help the UK in a crisis but they are willing to help pretty much everyone 😂😂
@@AlphaMonkey357 I voted to leave and used to think that the EU needed to collapse.

But it's good to hear your side mate and hey, even the Financial Times admitted the economy is doing much better than predicted
The whole remain, leave thing has I think even an eye opener for most europeans. It is a good thing on my opinion because I think scrutiny is what's needed for anything like eu. Scrutiny helps uncover most tyrannical points throughout history. Fact checking etc.
@@hansgruber788 in the "remain" camp personally but i see what you mean and agree with your point about the EU being necessary. i think it wouldve been better not to join in the first place so that we didn't become dependent on it. they don't want us in and they won't miss us while we're out.

At least the view is beautiful and has pretty good beaches (not normal ones). The islands... I am not surprisedey are just lonely islands that are not that developed like the province in North of Porto or others
Portuguese usually prefer the coast to live because we were people of the sea (to give you an idea we started the European world domination) so the big cities were built there, and because of that nowadays people live more in the coast than in the frontline of Spain. What is there are small towns and villages

If UK didn't they would have to face Germany directly and with one less ally. This help wasn't exactly altruistic.
There are other reasons for France's opinion, like historically being rivals, or UK's cooperation being less Europe-focused than France. There are also a lot of UK decisions that let a bit of a betrayal feeling from a french perspective : UK trying to place a pro USA leader at the head of Free France during WW2 (France would have become an occupied territory of USA afterward), the Eurofighter disagreement, the immigration polemic on the UK-France border, or more recently the Brexit and the conflict of interests related to UK involvement in the FCAS project.

What a ridiculous, nonsensical comment. Britain did not have to declare war on Germany in WW2. In WW1? Yes, Britain’s role was largely necessary given the tension between Germany and Britain. In WW2? No. Germany was not interested at all in war with Britain and would’ve eventually declared war on France. Britain certainly did not have to help. Britain could’ve definitely remained neutral in WW2.
@@adventussaxonum448 That would have meant becoming a collaborationist state in service of Germany. I doubt it would have been a desirable solution for UK.
@@CeruleanSword The reason behind UK alliance with France was that it didn't want the emergence of a continental block (which Germany/Axis were rapidly becoming).

0:53 when my grandmother moved from Russia to Germany in the 90's, she had to do a grammar and speaking exam at the border to live in Germany.
At 8:12 Drew said Balkans correctly, so I think we can forgive him for what he said at about 0:50
I disagree with the first one for the whole population, the UK's most common second language is French, in fact many schools in the UK don't even teach Spanish, only German or French (and sometimes they don't even do German). I assume the reason that Spanish is more common on duolingo is that most people who will use duolingo probably like languages (so they may already know french) or want it for travel purposes!
I was just about to say that lol. French is far, far more common than Spanish, and perhaps German is too. Though I can see Spanish being 3rd in the list.
@@jamescopeland8050 I mean, both French and German are Europe's most widely spoken and useful languages after English, it's understandable.
In fact if we keep it to Europe only, Russian and Italian are also more widespread and useful than Spanish too.
I think the most common language learnt on Duo by Brits is Spanish for exactly the reasons you already touched upon... Many people don't get an opportunity to learn it at school, and yet Spain, or Spanish territories, are some of the most likely places Brits will visit. I would have loved to learn Spanish at School.
Well, at least you're good sports about it 😉
France puts you in "least ready to help" category, yet you still learn the language.
Don't worry though, this sentiment is not uniformed. I'm French, and the UK is probably one of the ONLY nation I would help, along with direct next-door neighbours.
Whereas I don't understand why we interfere in slavic internal civil affairs for instance, like.. hum hum.. Ukraine v. Russia..
Spanish is a language people learn casually a lot, for whatever reason. Perhaps because it's not a complicated as French or German. Plus there's lots of Brits who like to go to Spain or want to live in Spain, so I think while French/German is a language studied properly at school lots of people do a little bit of Spanish through alternative means, so Spanish becomes the biggest language on apps like Duolingo because people don't take lessons for it.
1:47 as a Houstonian, I’m both unfazed and shocked how big Houston would be at almost 4,000 people per sq mile
8:30 That's Lisbon
8:32 And that's Porto
In Denmark it is mandatory to learn English and German (usually), therefore I guess people do not use Duolingo to learn those. And because we generally understand Swedish and Norwegian we don't learn those either. Therefore people decide to learn Spanish
This is just my theory though
Its probably the costa del sol + other warm Spanish places.
When you drag your miserable arse through enough snow the motivation to emulate migratory birds becomes rather strong
Also spain is like top 1-2 vacation place for most danes in past times. So this is mainly why i belive people wanna learn some basic spanish.
Dont forget Hispanic are returning to USA again, the land belongs to them. And after Chinese is the higher maternal language with 470 millions speakers. Intelligent people should speak Spanish, Chinese and English.
8:07 Romania is literally the same size as the UK.
he meant as in population and relevancy
In Portugal, people live on the coast because it's where they have their workplaces and the biggest cities. In the interior of the country there are only small villages and elderly people
I like how Drew doesn’t look at the camera in all of his video.
im british and i had no idea the rest of Europe hated us that much :c
Don't believe everything they say....

The effect of Brexit

You summed it up with Romania. A UN country that's always keen to help out. ❤️
4:20 in the uk the most firework ingerys is on bonfire night
12:20 i couldn't not stop to look what states are blank in EVERY map of this pic: Nevada, Utah and Wyoming. No crops on desert which doesn't have significant water sources, I guess. Will it be this the destiny of states who are depleting their underground water ?
That is my problem with "bio-fuels": Is it really more difficult to make food grow in the desert (you know, Utah, Nevada, Wyoming) and make states less dependent on importing products than to "grow food as fuel" and keep the current supply chain as it is?
I don't think so.
@@DonVigaDeFierro I'm Brazilian and here we have almost half of the country covered by Amazon. The problem here is on reckless deforestation. We doesn't have proper desert areas, just semi-arid climate here and there in northeast region. The Amazon deforestation is disapproved by most Brazilians. There is a very important reason to keep forest up, not just by the uncountable richness of biodiversity, but also the forest works like a "water pump" throwing ocean humidity deeply into the continent. This why most south America looks green at satellite. If we stop chopping down the forest today, it will still have a territory like half of contiguous US of sunny wet grasslands capable to grow 3 or more crops yearly. We will feed half the world if we don't break our costless waterpump. But while the world is not properly starving (famine happens more due to logistics issues and inequality than lack production), we can keep biofuels working.
I heard from my aunt that visited Norway, that in winter, which in Norway means months of night time all at once, people tend to fall into depression over the long night and the government gives them a free trip to my country, Spain, as a recovery travel, so I can see why they would want to learn Spanish
not even 1 minute in and Drew called the Balkans the Baltic with a straight face
Wow, EU definitely VERY salty post Brexit (or has it always been this way?).
It was always like that
always
It's always been like that, the continentals are a spiteful little bunch.
3:43 Non-Americans, do any of you celebrate your country's Independence Day? In my country we don't at all, that day is meant for either relaxing at home or traveling somewhere.
We watch fireworks here
In Sweden, not really.
In Spain we don't have any Independence day; but a national day, and you, Americans, celebrate it as well, although I think that to a lesser extent. The 12th of October, the day Christopher Columbus made landfall in the Americas. And we do use fireworks and firecrackers, by the way.
Never saw someone comemorate that in brazil
In italy we have two (25th of April and 2nd of june) , and they are vacation days, the army parades in the Imperial forum but everyone just stays home/do normal things. New year is much crazier
Would have liked to see if Portugal would be up for aiding the Brits. Longest alliance in the world and all that
In Portugal we don't help.. we NEED help 🙃
@@alves5466 I feel that buddy
@@alves5466 Portugal deserves some love, the only country to continue supporting the British during the Napoleonic wars and loaning bases in WW2.
Except for those times England screwed them over

When they’re flying, you can tell because crows flap their wings super deep where they touch behind them, and ravens have much smaller wing beats like a more normal bird

Most of Europe : unwilling to help Britain
Also most of Europe : learns British
They probably learn English to visit/migrate to USA,Canada or Australia
@@thegreatbrandino8234 no they learn it because its seen as the global language it's not just europe who insist on learning english.
All of Europe: chooses to speak English, embraces English culture, and uses the technology of the industrial revolution.
I like the baby on board signs that cannot be read unless you get dangerously close. The irony is perfect.
7:28 The small sign pointing to sweden 😢
I like how the UK is still willing to help out post brexit but everybody else isn’t willing to return the favor

We're just managing London's global financial hegemony on their behalf, for free.
@@parrismd ?
@@shockshplock3480 before ww1, about half the world was under the London financial/banking system, and they spent a lot of money to militarily maintain this. after ww2, the entire world was under that system, though the US took up the military management of the system.
@@parrismd I know that and I know they did to help cement their position as a military superpower (plus because the British were incredibly close allies), I just don’t get why it’s relevant lol?
Better to be ruled by a liberal dictator than by an authoritarian dictator
The reason why Serbia is focusing on german is because most serbs immigrate to austria, I can confirm this because I am a serb in austria and you can also see in immigration maps that most serbs go to austria out of all countries in europe
