damn you absolutely butchered it though. It lost the funny
@@metanoia3438 I agreez
I cracked up when he says "Assembly" language. I agree, it's indeed hard to learn.
i thought i was the only one who noticed this lol
It is way easier than natural languages imao
Lmfao I just noticed that and went wait Assembly isn't a... OHHHH
can you explain what assembly language means lol
What is assembly language🤔🤔
i love how he explained the english language in english so only ppl who speak english can understand him
what language was he supposed to speak then?
@@KKKNlgga depends on who he wants to teach the English language to. As u can see in the video, he explained the English language to beginners, which probably don't understand English, so ig u would explain it in the language the person u r teaching it to, I mean at school I learn Arabic from the English language bc I'm not fluent at it and don't understand it. Hopefully u r not bothered to read all that bc I wouldn't read it either, I was just bored and thought it would be funny to reply in a paragraph.
@@whyyy24 if you are learning english its probably better to hear it is english as you would gain more vocabulary
@@Drogon7102 I agree
English is just a pyramid scheme,
If you studied English as main subject so you could become an English teacher and teach your students English so that they can become an English teacher as well.......
“People from America sound significantly less cool the higher their neighborhoods GDP” by far one of the funniest things I’ve heard today
Lmfao ikr

Strollas the better the neighborhood, the less cool they sound.
and those who sounds cool would disagree with this fact and say “that ain’t crap, lemme gei ma gun and let’s go hun-dinggg and kill samma them squirrels tanight.

I hate myself for pronouncing "anemone" "any-money" so confidently only to hear Casually Explained speak the word that Nemo struggled on.
I say it as An enemy because in WOF Tsunami thinks another drag says an enemy when they said Anemone
i pronounce it has ane mone .-.
haha
I'm always unsure if it's anemon-e or ane-moun. I'm even more unsure on how to spell pronunciations in English
I pronounced it like "anymon"
everytime i watch this video and get to that part even i can't figure it out for a few moments
As a Chinese, I think the "th" sound is hard to pronounce because we don't have this sound in our language. It took a while to learn how to pronounce words such as "three" or "throw"
It’s so true though. I was trying to help a Korean friend work out his L and R sounds because the equivalent sound in Korean is kind of a mix between the two. Having him try to say “royal” “loyal” and “lawyer” brought me literal hours of entertainment
i used to struggle with it too until i learned that you just have to stick your tongue out while saying "te"
Stick your tongue between your teeth a TINY bit, touching both sets of teeth onto your tongue.
Your tongue should be hidden behind your bottom lip (don't over think that, though. Just don't put much effort into exposing your bottom teeth).
NOW.......(ok, now I tried to find out what I do to make this sound and....I have no idea. I'm grunting and humming like a moron, trying to give you good clear instruction. But I am native! I don't know how I do this, but I see why Asia doesn't do it.)
Ok I am BACK!
So: use your voice box. Your tongue might block your breath, Or it might give no obstruction.....your tongue should PARTLY block the airflow.
When your voice box is shaking your airflow, and the tongue is partly obstructing the airflow, there should be a humming sound, like the 'Z' Sound, coming from our teeth.
It might feel as though your tongue is vibrating between your teeth.
Ok, I thought about it some more. I think I can give a cleaner instruction! The instructions ai just gave are for the SUPER expressive TH sound. We mostly use that for heavy emphasise.
Try this instead:
You have a "de" sound, right? Like "dead people"? When you make that sound, it is a splosive sound made by your tongue blocking the airway, touching the alveolar ridge.
Make DE several times, but make sure to have your teeth seperated a tiny amount, OK? DE DE DE DE DE. Don't let your teeth touch at all.
Now, make the same sound, but touch the gap of your teeth with your tongue tip. The pressure in your airway should build, because your tongue is blocking the flow until you release it.
Check with your nearest English speaker, but I believe you are now fluently THITHATHETHEM all day!
It should sound SUPER close to the DE sound. You might not even hear it, but I think an Englishman will.
Please tell me if you try this out!

I speak Arabic, and I found English pretty easy to pronounce and learn, just need to learn as many vocabs as possible. In Arabic, we pronounce several letters that other languages don't have, which makes it easier for us to pronounce new words. I'm learning Korean now and it's quite challenging.
Good job
Arabic is one of the few other languages that has a proper "th" sound (except for some dialects like Egyptian that flattens it to a "z")
for me the hardest thing to pronounce in arabic is not any specific sound but the shada (شدة)
I studied standard Arabic for a bit in school, but it was obviously a slow process. Regarding consonants, pretty much all of the English ones also exist in Arabic, especially the "difficult" ones, for example the two versions of the English th. Weirdly enough, standard Arabic doesn't have g and p, but I don't think these are hard to learn if you don't speak them natively.

It's actually pretty easy to learn English (from the perspective of a native speaker of Urdu). In comparison learning my native language is hard. I swear English is so easy to write, it's so quick. Urdu though... *shudder*
I looked up what your language looks like, and all i can say is im sorry bro
As a German, English was pretty easy to learn if I don't have to explain the grammar rules. But German is.... German is terrible for non natives. Like our shtick with Nominativ, Genitiv and Dativ and the Akkusativ. And most importantly the ch sound, especially the soft one that most non Germans never hear in their entire life. But I have a feeling Japanese could be quite easy to learn for me after I learn the pronounciation. The worst part would be learning how to read.
@@Nikita_Akashyathe English language has been shaped by the repeated occupation of england by foreign cultures, namely Rome, France, the Normans, the Vikings, and Germanic colonizers. English has a germanic base, but with almost 40% romance language word origins its not like other germanic languages. Its also a descriptive language (so not higher authority to dictate what is and isn't a word, the dictionary follows the people not the other way around). Add in some other factors like the near absence of grammatical gender or regular verb conjugation, and its no wonder English is super good at "stealing" words from other languages.
We regularly joke the English is infact 3 languages in a trenchcoat pretending to be 1 language because it kind of is. (This is also why so many of our rules have a bunch of exceptions, words stolen from french or latin or japan don't need to obey the original rules for spelling. I'm sure this is the source of many headaches for people trying to learn English.)

As a Chinese who grew up in the US most of my life, English was an okay language for me since in kindergarten(this was still in China btw), we had little activities to practice our English, so I already knew some English when moving here, and in 1st grade, in the US, I could understand most of what the teacher is saying, luckily the teacher was Chinese or could speak Chinese would translate the things to Chinese so I would understand. Then in second grade, I had to move to another school and in that school, they knew that I didn’t understand or speak English well, so they would put me in this program, which would send the program teacher to your class and come get you in the middle of a lesson to teach you some English. All I could say is that for me, a Chinese person, is that English was surprisingly easy for me.
Meanwhile, in about 13 years I have reached a level of fluency in English that makes me sometimes have trouble with translating sentences back into my mother tongue. It's mostly because they are so different in their sentence structures but sometimes it's funny to tell english-speaking people that Finnish is so hard that even though I have been learning it since birth I still struggle. I speak two languages (Finnish and English) in a "I understand equally little about scientific articles"-way and Swedish in a "I was forced to learn this for 6 years in school yet still somehow know exactly two words"-way and also conversational Italian. Most people in Finland know at least 3 languages.

justchilaxe123 that had me too. I care to the comments as soon as I heard it. Lmao
@@thegamingfool9974 It's not, they used the wrong tense of the word.
The most irritating in English are "exceptions"
Pronunciation differs by each word, and are so often irregular
It's hard to find a language that has many exceptions on pronunciation as English in commonly used languages.
I was shocked while learning Latin, recognizing how simple and nearly always in regular case.
That was my reaction when briefly studying Spanish
"So words are just... pronounced as theyre written and vice versa?"
This was my experience studying Spanish...
As mentioned, the pronunciation of individual letters and phonemes is surprisingly consistent. Even accents made a great deal of sense when I realized they were just changing where the natural stress on pronunciation would normally go. Typically it's the second-to-last vowel that gets a hidden accent, but if one is placed it will always be on a different vowel to shift that natural emphasis. Off the top of my head, "rápido" would naturally stress that "i" as if you were saying 'ra-PI-do." The accent over that first "a" means it's pronounced "RA-pi-do" instead.
Then I quickly realized that even the irregularities were generally consistent to the point I could just look at a verb and know not just that it was irregular, but exactly how it differed.
Generally, the irregularities exist ot preserve the core phonetics of the base verb. It's rather ironic that these exceptions actually exist to keep the language more consistent in pronunciation... usually. There are still some oddball "wtf" conjugations of verbs, such as 'ser,' but the majority are predictable and well thought out.
This makes it far less daunting to learn Spanish with it's 200 billion verb variations than it would otherwise seem at first glance.
And as a side note, Japanese is another language that is shockingly consistent in it's pronunciations: even more so than Spanish. I believe this is in large part because Japanese doesn't so much have individual letters as it does individual written syllables. There are actually very few consonants in Japanese with each of hte letters being different consonant/vowel pairings. Certain "letters" can be accented to change the base consonant sound, and vowels can be letters/syllables in and of themselves... as can "n" for some reason. So sometimes "n" is a syllable in and of itself, and sometimes it's a syllable combined with a various vowel sound. However, I just described 6 different Japanese letters for those 6 different n-based syllables as "n, na, ne, no, ni, nu" are all different letters.
Still, my point is that "one letter, one pronunciation" is a pretty hard rule in Japanese as the letters ARE the syllables. So when looking at a word, the "tempo" you use to pronounce the word is already broken down for you. There is NO guessing on syllables. Spanish can alter the tempo with accents, and has a natural flow in the absence of them, but this just isn't the case for Japanese.
The fucking Kanji on the other hand.... holy shit, don't get me started. Those can have 5 different meanings (or more) and multiple pronunciations for those different meanings as well to the point they can regularly confuse native speakers. This gives "puns" a huge place in Japanese comedy as it's not hard to pull off triple puns because of this Kanji bullshit.
As a consequence of having few base sounds (phonemes) that make up the entirety of the language, Japanese words, especially proper nouns, have a tendency to get absurdly long to keep them unique and differentiated. I've heard native Hawaiian is even worse about this for having even fewer base phonemes that make up the language. Conversely, the more phonemes in a language the shorter the words tend to be as it's much easier to keep them unique. This can be both a blessing and a curse when learning a language.
(sorry not sorry, I find etymology fascinating)
Fun fact: the British tend to add unnecessary letters in words to make them sound more fancy or look more fancy.
For example, the person who originally coined the term Aluminum was Sir Humphrey Davy, a British chemist.
After getting the word published in the Oxford dictionary, he then had a change of heart and wanted to call it “Aluminium” just because it sounded fancier. So he then campaigned to have it changed to Aluminium for no reason other than to make it sound more fancy.
In French, some letters are doubled just because monks copying books were paid per letters, so adding a letter here and there could make them slightly richer. And that's about the most logical thing in French.
Sounds like some American propaganda
@@robertaries2974 you can actually look it up on Merriam Webster. They have an entire article (TH-cam doesn’t like links).
Essentially the English chemist originally called it Alumium, then went to Aluminum, then changed his mind and wanted to call it Aluminium. This was done in 3 separate scientific papers in England around 1809-1812. This had havoc on the dictionaries printed for English and Americans.
“Aluminum” was first published in 1828 for the American dictionary “An American Dictionary of the English Language”. “Aluminium” wasn’t published until Webster’s 1909 dictionary. In the 1934 Webster’s dictionary, it termed “aluminium” as “especially British”.
For the record, aluminium is more consistent naming with other metals like sodium, calcium, magnesium, titanium, rhodium, etc (ok we're ignoring platinum). But also, I am most likely to still call it aluminum.

Another difference between American English and British English is how we pronounce certain letters.

Shamus Sarrazine I felt that
My mother tongue is Tamil (Indian language), I lived in India until after half way through first grade. Then my dad brought our family to the US. I was taught English alphabets in a separate class in India, but I still didn't know enough to put sentences together and have conversations. I got thrown into America without being able to speak. I only had one friend, and we just became friends from making funny noises (ex. thunthi thunthi). Within that half a year, I watched people, listened to the teacher's lessons, and from just that I figured it out. By second grade, I could finally understand what people were talking about, and I liked to read books too. I wasn't too talkative but I made an effort. Those efforts built up, and once I reached third grade, I was the hotshot of the school. I was easily able to make conversation, and made a good group of friends. Those skills evolved into me getting people that hate me, to making them be my friend (That skill came in middle school). So TL;DR, English is lightwork, you just have to throw yourself on the deep end. Also a little note, I never had the Indian accent because I never asked my parents for help in English. I think also what helped was by the time I reached second grade, I was speaking at home in full english. Pretty sure that's how my mom also learned to understand English because she didn't take any courses in India.
the "Hey Siri/Google" joke was hilarious and it actually worked wtf 💀
"Not so easy is it now baguette boy"

I just learned that they're called "hiccoughs" and not "hiccups"
Serving the 0.8 statistic well
Hiccough is the proper spelling, and hiccup is American.
@@Sir_Budginton That's not entirely true, both are acceptable. In fact hiccup is generally perceived to be the original spelling and later people mistakenly thought it was supposed to be spelt hiccough.
Like how duck-tape was mistakenly misspelled as duct-tape, even though ductwork is the only thing that can't be fixed using it.
Well hiccup would be pretty close to german. "Schluck auf"
@@volundrfrey896 Unless you're using duct-tape, which is tape designed for use with ductwork.
It's spelled both ways.

The words "the" and "a" thenselves can be difficult for people whose native language lacks them
Don’t you just hate it when someone says “two” instead of “to” or “too”

As an American I can’t stand when people say “nitch” instead of “niche”
Even in the US the pronunciation varies widely :)
No need to be such a niche about it.
As a Brit I shudder everytime Americans say math instead of maths.
And I laugh when they do they hiccup bit in the middle of vehicle.
@@juststeve5542 Look man, just cause y'all can't read doesn't mean its our fault for not adding in an extra letter. Its Mathematics, not Mathsematics.
You're not wrong about the hiccup though.
@@IronWarsmith it's mathematicS not mathematic, it's a plural :-p
Oh, and on behalf of my Polish friends can I just point out that Pierogi is also plural.
Pierog is singular, so you can have Pierogs but not Pierogies!
Another advantage to having a generic Pacific Northwest accent is that the auto-generated subtitles work perfectly.
my parents have known English for longer than i've been alive (almost 16 years), and they're still struggling with "literally"
*The number of people*
that confuses _"to"_ and _"too"_ is two damn many
Never liked a comment so fast like that before.
That's a good won.
You're grammar is incorrect so your wrong!!

“French is a sexist language”
-My French teacher
MY PORTUGUESE TEACHER SAID THE SAME ABOUT PORTUGUESE LOOOOL SHE WAS LIKE "WE HAVE 99 WOMEN AND 1 MAN IN ONE SITUATION BUT WE STILL HAVE TO USE "OS" (masculine article), IT'S SO SEXIST"
Yes , like they have genders even for countries
In portuguese we also have genders for countries when referring to them in a sentence, for example: Os Estados Unidos (the United States), A França (France), O Reino Unido (The United Kingdom), A Inglaterra (England).
@@demitwice OMG MY FRENCH TEACHER SAID THE SAME EXACT THING BUT W "ILS" OMG

“Then Americans sound less cool the higher their neighborhood GDP”
Holy shit that roast sent ripples through the entire world
Light racism. It's funny, so it light heartedly addresses a series issue in our society. Oh shucks, Who am I kidding? idgaf! It sounded deep tho.
What does it mean? I didn't get it.
@@satyakisil9711 The higher GDP people have, the less "cool" they sound. Which means, STEREOTYPICALLY, generic American accents and/or posh American accents sound stuck-up and/or normal, and African American accents and/or country accents sound "cool" (socioeconomic classes).
@@jatin1695 But how does it contribute to stealing GDP? All surrounding countries have lower GDP than the GDP of Americans.
@@satyakisil9711 they mean within America itself
The name "Australia" has three "a"'s in it, and every single one of them is pronounced differently

Depending on the accent, the first and last can be pronounced equally
