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
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.

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.
Great job Vonn! I think he did pretty good, and it's all in the name of fun and broadening our horizons. I knew all of these, but I have an interest in languages. I also have worked with/taught Vietnamese and Brazilian students. It's disappointing that some of these comments do not pass the vibe check.
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.

@@ayato814 That's not an excuse hahaha several countries, like Brazil itself, have a good vacation time and have a better education compared to the USA
Listening to an American speaking about other languages is too often highly embarrassing. Dropping the wrong keywords makes you sound extremely ignorant. If you don't know what a Slavic language is then don't use the term. I guess talking pseudo sophisticated bullshit works too well among Americans but it gets cringy when they suddenly meet someone who actually got a proper education.
They need to turn up the mics on the people speaking their languages and turn down the music. I had a hard time hearing them, and when I turned up the volume, the American and the music just got too loud.
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.

Lmao was the editing messed up or did the Vietnamese girl actually say she was from Vietnam before he had the chance of guessing? That was weird. Also, as a Swede, I'm glad to see us represented in these videos! I hope we see more of Oscar. :)
@@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.
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
Oscar said that his language has a "Germanic tone", it was a bit strange to choose Macedonian or Turkish. So he should not focus on geography, but more on language families. English originally has Germanic roots, but the influence of a Romance language was great, "French." Therefore, English today is a mixture of Germanic and Romance. If you know the Germanic language family, you have no chance to choose Macedonian, which is Slavic and Turkish is one of many Turkic languages, stretching to China, Uyghur is a Turkic language, too.

Haha, what a dumb video. “Guess the language”, yet one was a native english speaker, the Swedish guy spoke mostly in english and the last lady announced where she was from! 🤔
Nice video, and I'd love to see more content like this, with a couple of caveats: - the volume on the speakers was often weirdly quiet relative to the background, making it hard to hear. (Which is sad, since hearing the language is a major appeal of this type of video! -More importantly, the title, paired with the content, felt like...a bait-and-switch? Clickbait? The title suggested he would be guessing what languages people were speaking. But in truth, he was guessing where they were from. (And what language it wasn't even a question like half the time, since one of them was even in English) I likely still would have watched the video if it were "guess where these people are from?" rather than "what language these people are speaking?", but the mismatch left a bad taste in my mouth.
These videos are really fun to watch, as a regular brazilian I started to watch them because of the presence of a brazilian person (andy is very sweet) but now I can´t stop!! also Oskar is so charismatic, for real, he´s got a great presence
He said Russian is from the Germanic familly languages LMAOOO the Slavic part of the Indo-European language tree was yeeted real fast 😂😂😂😂 americans at their finest

It shouldn't be hard seperate french and german or swedish and russian or korean and viatnemese. These are languages not accents.
Fun guessing game. But I thought the background music was a little too loud - makes it hard to pick up the subtleties of their pronunciation. Though I guessed them correctly anyway.
I got Oscar right the moment he pronounced his name xD The Vietnamese speak very quickly compared to other SE Asians IMHO, so I'd guess Vietnam bc of that. Got completely lost on the Australian guy and I can't tell BR- Portuguese from Portuguese so it would've been 50/50 there :p
“Hi, i’m from vietnam” The guy: Hmmm i wonder where she’s from. I’d guess asia or south asia “Im going to guess she’s from vietnam. Vietnamese” BRO SHE LITERALLY SAID WHERE SHE WAS FROM
Is it just me, or is there a screwup with the audio mix? The teacher's voice comes out loud and clear, but I can barely hear what the students are saying, at least not without cranking up the speakers to full capacity. And I don't think that's the wisest thing to do at 5 am in a studio apartment. :D
LMAO For all American people (USA) in youtube trying to guess languages there are 4 European languages: English, french, Spanish and RUSSIAN. They also tend to answer "Russian" to all languages they don't understand. Guys in Europe there are thousand of languages!!!
But Russia is also part of Europe Mkkk. But in fact, that's a lot of stigmas. Europeans hear a Brazilian speaking and think it's Spanish lol incredible

"My language has germanic roots.."
- Russian? Romanian? T U R K I S H? 😲
the best part is that English itself is a germanic language
vonn thought at the start, ken's accent was germanic/ slavic? Lol
how did he go from ukrainian to turkish to lithuanian to romanian to macedonian 🤣🤣
especially after the major clue: Germanic language.
I wish they didn't have the backing track so loud (or on at all); makes it hard to hear people speaking. You could barely hear Oscar.
ehm... a language teacher when told by the blond guy in blue shirt that his language stems from Germanic tones responds with "Russian"... really?
Von is Cape verdean 😮 I would have never guessed and I am cape verdean myself lol Nice to see him here 🙂🇨🇻
2:23 Von , Look up 😂
¿Por qué dice "America"? America es un continente, no un país.
they usually call their country like this, thats why
@@evelynfigueiredo852 Pues que ignorante de su parte.
Si, la mayoría dice que es de "America" como si fuera un país, pero es un continente🤧‼️
@@evelynfigueiredo852 Me refiero a los estadounidenses que se apropian del "America"
technically they are from America. Like Mexicans, Canadians, Argentineans.
AS A PERSON FROM SWEDEN IM LAUGHING SO HARD
Oh dear I laughed so hard with the high difference between the second pair 😹 I'm burning in hell wondering how would I look like being way shorter than Von 😅😹🤣
2:22 Waaa sorry, but the difference between their heights lol 😂😂😂😂
7:06 Wait, SHE SAID THE ANSWER??? 😮
Adoro essa brasileira, ela consegue ser extrovertida e ao mesmo delicada, meiga! Só pais maravilhosos conseguem criar uma pessoa assim!
Von: Lithuania, Romania, final guess: Macedonia!
… Sweden!
Von: Close! I was getting closer!
😂😂😂
I heard that the guy named Oscar was Swedish the second he opened his mouth and spoke English. I’m Norwegian btw
Haha, what a dumb video. “Guess the language”, yet one was a native english speaker, the Swedish guy spoke mostly in english and the last lady announced where she was from! 🤔
Amei a nossa representante do Brasil💚💛💙
Obg 💕
Nice video, and I'd love to see more content like this, with a couple of caveats:
- the volume on the speakers was often weirdly quiet relative to the background, making it hard to hear. (Which is sad, since hearing the language is a major appeal of this type of video!
-More importantly, the title, paired with the content, felt like...a bait-and-switch? Clickbait? The title suggested he would be guessing what languages people were speaking. But in truth, he was guessing where they were from. (And what language it wasn't even a question like half the time, since one of them was even in English) I likely still would have watched the video if it were "guess where these people are from?" rather than "what language these people are speaking?", but the mismatch left a bad taste in my mouth.
These videos are really fun to watch, as a regular brazilian I started to watch them because of the presence of a brazilian person (andy is very sweet) but now I can´t stop!! also Oskar is so charismatic, for real, he´s got a great presence
You said "I am from America" but you didn't say which country, in fact I am from Asia.
LMAO THE VIETNAMESE GIRL LITERALLY SAID IM FROM VIETNAM!!
He said Russian is from the Germanic familly languages LMAOOO the Slavic part of the Indo-European language tree was yeeted real fast 😂😂😂😂 americans at their finest
Americana is the name of the continent where there are several countries and is also the nickname of the United States of America.
ken's gotta be the tallest man i've ever seen
it really hurt when he classified Swedish as Germanic-Slavic and then switched from Russian to Turkish to Macedonian to Romanian.. can you try to find some qualified person next time? or at least someone who is not US-American..
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.
Nice experiment, but the background music is so loud it makes it difficult to understand individual words.
All Swedish men look a bit same. As soon as the Swedish guy walked in, I knew he was Swedish. He looks like Bill Skarsgard.
nah, u mean his brother, alexander, whose much taller w' blond hair.
I like this new American dude - he seems more comfortable in front of the camera than some of the others who have represented the US on this channel.
Hehe well thank you kind sir
That’s the one and only Jayvonnnn brooo
@@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
Fun guessing game. But I thought the background music was a little too loud - makes it hard to pick up the subtleties of their pronunciation. Though I guessed them correctly anyway.
how come that guy teaches english yet doesn't know basic info about language families 🥴
I got Oscar right the moment he pronounced his name xD
The Vietnamese speak very quickly compared to other SE Asians IMHO, so I'd guess Vietnam bc of that. Got completely lost on the Australian guy and I can't tell BR- Portuguese from Portuguese so it would've been 50/50 there :p
SE Asians languages all sound alike to me. Also filipino, indonesian, malaysian & all their many dialects sound alike to me.
The music is too loud to hear the other languages well.
“Hi, i’m from vietnam”
The guy: Hmmm i wonder where she’s from. I’d guess asia or south asia
“Im going to guess she’s from vietnam. Vietnamese”
BRO SHE LITERALLY SAID WHERE SHE WAS FROM
Brazil 🇧🇷❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Why is he guessing the country of the second guy?! He just has to guess the language so he should have said English and he would have been right.
Plus uk is not one country but several, each with their own language/ accent.
Is it just me, or is there a screwup with the audio mix? The teacher's voice comes out loud and clear, but I can barely hear what the students are saying, at least not without cranking up the speakers to full capacity. And I don't think that's the wisest thing to do at 5 am in a studio apartment. :D
America is not a country but a continent!
“I speak a Germanic language”
*guesses Russian/Ukrainian and Turkish/Macedonian*
he said in beginning germanic / slavic accent. Donno how he got turkey?
LMAO For all American people (USA) in youtube trying to guess languages there are 4 European languages: English, french, Spanish and RUSSIAN. They also tend to answer "Russian" to all languages they don't understand.
Guys in Europe there are thousand of languages!!!
I wouldn't say thousands, more like 50 to 70 as long as you exclude dialects. That includes Sorbian and Yiddish.
But Russia is also part of Europe Mkkk. But in fact, that's a lot of stigmas. Europeans hear a Brazilian speaking and think it's Spanish lol incredible
HELLO IM FROM VIETNAM, TRY TO GUESS WHERE IM FROM!
