The fact that this was actually easy. But maybe I'm just one of those asian kids that can distinguish those languages without actually learning them hahaha
Same.
I’m half asian and half white (my mother is from Boston and she is Scottish-Russian american. My father is from japan he was raised there and my great grandfather was korean and my father lived in Hong Kong for a while because he was in a college there) so I know a lot about different Asian languages.
Its on the accent bro
Yeah I think it also depends on how much you hear each language, you kinda just know after that.
omg same, that was pretty easy
Imagine confusing Mandarin for Japanese. They sound nothing alike lmao.
I have to say, she's not very good at this.
Yeah she isn’t even that familiar with her relative language tagalog
When she thought Language #1 was Japanese because it sounds « tonal ». Japanese doesn’t even have tones smh
@@nathanmerritt1581 this was painful to watch honestly lol
Imagine that it is kind of a show. If she guessed everything at once in 1 min, would it be interesting to watch?
Japanese was really easy to recognize even without her saying nihongo or Japanese cities for like 5 times
yeah lol i knew after one word lol
i watch ton of anime so the moment she spoke i was like thats japanesse
ぐえっsてぃsてぇn

**happy weeb noises**
@@tyronecastillo3822 yeah...translate it
I feel like she lowkey cheated by asking about foods and places to pick up hints like “dinuguan” and “Tokyo.” She even tried to get the mandarin speaker to say hello in mandarin, but she was smart and dodged it by just saying “hello” in English instead lol
" yes, I thought so too. She didn't say nihao "
(my opinion)
I wished there was a person who spoke another language that is Not Tagalog (but i guess they didn't find one) Philippines have over 175 languages, and even those in the north not all use Tagalog. (Tagalog is just called the National Language cause history and stuff, but for short it's the white bread of the languages (just my opinion))
A Person who didn't live around the Manila Metro can understand Tagalog (like those in the south, middle and other areas since it's taught, Basically they speak 3 languages) but a Tagalog person they can't understand much and I think most of them only understand 2.
@@himasekiwari155 Nonsense, Filipino language or the standardized tagalog is our National language. It’s the most suited language to represent us. If you put a bisaya there, how about the Ilocanos and Bicolanos? Right? Filipino language is where all Filipinos can relate, although I much prefer full tagalog words instead of using those Spanish loan words like lenguahe, she can use “wika” instead, or the “Paborito”, she can use “Pinaka-gusto” or “Gustong” instead
@@user-pt6nk4cq7e I'm probably too late to say this but, "gusto" is still Spanish right? Malalaman parin nila iyon, kaya mas imbis na iyon ang gamitin, "tinatamasa" or "pinakang-tinatamasa" nalang.
@@user-pt6nk4cq7e Tsaka, Pilipino naman si ate girl kaya malalaman at malalaman niya parin yung Tagalog hehe
Japanese and Filipino are the easiest to guess here because they have a sharp, straightforward pronunciation
And Chinese too
@@ntkmw8058 chinese have same as Mongolia or Taiwan or Hong Kong (i think Taiwanese speak chinese to??🤔)
Especially Tagalog was so easy to guess.
I'm japanese. I don't want to come off as rude but i got surprise when she couldn't make a difference between japanese and mandarin
I believe because at first the Taiwanese's speaker spoke a little bit different from standard Chinese she's familiar with. O didn't catch the language at first until she introduce herself and heard the different between mandarin Chinese and mandarin Taiwanese. If i weren't learn Japanese, i wouldn't recognize it because Taiwanese have softer dialect and more pause between word just like how japanese is while Chinese most of time speak without break between word. Straight up one sentence.
@@ainunpratiwi2085 Even for Taiwanese Chinese (as a native Singaporean Chinese, I'm super familiar with the Taiwanese accent) her first sentence sounded a little weird. I think she was trying to neutralise her tones to be less obvious
@@ainunpratiwi2085 Isn't it something only fluent Chinese speakers notice though? No offense by any means, but to me all varieties of Chinese languages sounds strikingly Chinese no matter what. Mistaking Korean to Japanese is borderline understandable, but Mandarin and Japanese are as different as Russian and Italian.
Exactly
I don't think most people can tell the difference between Chinese Wu and Japanese! Because most of the han culture in Japan spread from there ~
Mandarin, Vietnamese, Tagalog, and Japanese. Those four languages are actually "major" Asian languages that most people who don't even speak the languages would already be able to differentiate, and I got all of them correct! I thought we were going to dive into the more unknown and more non-mainstream Asian languages but I guess not.
I think you definitely think the average person knows more than they actually do. I’d bet the majority of people have never even heard the word Tagalog
they had a girl that speaks kapampangan but she choose tagalog smh. also, its not a dialect but a whole different language.
same
@@sandz000 bec tagalog is the official language not kapampangan
@@pedrosito Filipino po ang official language, hindi Kapampangan, hindi Tagalog. Wala na po talaga nagsasalita ng Tagalog, madalas sa kasulatan nalang o kaya sa Timog Tagalog.
Fun fact: Tupac said that Jim Carrey was his favorite actor. While Tupac was in jail, Jim Carrey send letters to make him laugh & smile.
thats cool
Wow, never know that. I used to dislike jim carrey because his style of comedy isn't my type but wow.
ok and
that's lovely, and he does motivational stuff too now and more great stuff like that too now
Jim Carrey is the best
When I heard the "sh" and "ki" or "ko" in a language it's definitely Japanese, and when heard some like Spanish word in an Asia language it's 100% it's a Tagalog (Filipino) language
Yea, Filipino is the right term tho. Filipino is just based off Tagalog but they're not entirely the same.
We have shi sound but not sh. It's a very interesting way to distinguish though.
When i hear nam i instantly think of vietnam
Tprprpprrr
So have you ever heard of Chinese wu dialect ？The Source of Japanese Chinese Pronunciation ~
Japanese and Tagalog were the easiest to recognize for me.
I'm Indonesian and this is very easy. But then again, I speak Japanese, have been to Vietnam, watched a lot of Mandarin movies and have a lot of Chinese-Indonesian friends who speak Mandarin, and also Philippines is so close that it's easier for me to be exposed to the language.
I can definitely guess if the person is from South East Asia but i can't guess the country (When I went to Singapore i heard some Malaysian and my god it sound so similar, and when i watch some Indonesian Vtubers or like Indonesian vids like , Indonesian be sounding closer)
@@himasekiwari155 yeah people actually asume that indonesia language called "bahasa" is similiar to "Malay" from malaysia, but in reality its almost same. just have different word and you can easy to know if someone from indonesia or malaysia by how they sound. lets take for example. we have same word to say Good morning (Selamat Pagi) but for both indonesia and malaysia pronounce it kinda different, as we indonesia pronounce it "Flat like" and for malaysia theres some uniques sound to pronounce "selamat pagi" its like they spoke it but with Unique Accent, hmm how do i describe it, ah its like more soft than we indonesia haha
"And my mom loves to talk to her sisters on the phone, very loudly... " Omg every Filipino child relating to this LOL
I relate with the viet girl so much 😭 I’ve been trying to speak viet more but I have a super thick accent and I speak like a 3 year old
That happens to a lot of Vietnamese people I know even if pretty fluent.
Then can u translate: "Tao là con bọ cạp, nếu chúng mày coi thường tao thì tao coi mày NGU."
I have the same experience, but she speaks a lot better than I do. My level is about kindergarten at best.
i think most of the speakers here have significant accents.
@@aznmochibunny her Vietnamese is like 4-5 year old to native Vietnamese (but her Vietnamese will improve super fast if she spend time in Vietnam )
Sad that she was raised monolingual with such a diverse ancestry.
EXACTLY. I don’t wanna be rude but she is SO BAD at this game. Can’t even distinguish Mandarin and Japanese like whaaaa…..that’s pathetic and sad being a monolingual.
tbh
@@Anonymous-qj4wp Dam that's fucked up. and I myself am a trilingual-to-be bilingual. What if YOU were a monolingual being called pathetic for knowing one language? come on now.
@@gapedandamazed6988 sorry that I was mean, ok being monolingual is not a sin, but as they’re raised in an only one-language environment, this is pretty sad as they cannot get to know about the world with better connection like us multilinguals. I personally can speak 4 languages fluently and 1language at A2 level so I might appear rude to say for the monolinguals, I apologise here, but as a language lover I just think it is pathetic to not know and distinguish between languages. Especially when one has an asian background but cannot distinguish between Japanese and Chinese…
@@Anonymous-qj4wp I think this comment is what you meant. Also incase you were wondering. I wasn't pointing out you saying it's sad. Just the pathetic part. Cuz I myself find it quite sad being raised with only 1 language. Because babies/toddlers have the ability. The brain power to be raised with up to 4 different languages if managed correctly. Especially these days were traveling is getting easier and easier as the years go on. Everyone should be raised at least a bilingual/trilingual. Tbh I believe that should be practiced more and more each generation. I mean over half of the world are bilingual. It's almost the norm at this point
2:31 as someone from Vietnam she does indeed speak Vietnamese very poorly. I feel like if they used a native Vietnamese speaker she could’ve recognized it easier since it sounds very unique.
It's funny because I'm not too familiar with vietnamese, but that was the first language that came to find when I heard it, and what tipped me off was reading the subtitles and reading "there's a lot of accents"
Tagalog I almost missed until I heard some Spanish-y words
The fact that I got all these right makes me very proud of myself ☺️
Me too! Well, close enough. The Tagalog tripped me up 😅
@@GarnetsWeb Same.. For some reason I always forget about the Philippines :')) I was like.. wait what was that country again?
t a e
@@GarnetsWeb the only reason I got it right is bc my aunt is Filipino and I’ve been to her family parties 🤷♀️
@@user-ru1jo5rc3t ahhahah
I’m learning Korean and my brain hurts that I still guessed all of these 😂
I hope this becomes a series, I'd totally binge watch it.
Ideally with harder to guess languages next time, cuz this was way too easy.
Malaysia Indonesia be like "baby I'm not even here". 🥺
I like how they mentioned SEA and East Asia cuz even in 2021 ppl assume that South, Central and West Asia doesn't exist.
Yeah, if they put asian in the title, the Indians will storm the comment section demanding to be included 😂
I recognized them all except Vietnamese. Mostly bc i am Filipino, consume a lot of anime and other Japanese media, and had a feeling the first was Mandarin bc of the way some things were said.
I am loving the “thirst trap” pot on the left at 2:50.
thai, cantonese and vietnamese are easy to be confused with. As a cantonese speaker, I find that these three dialect have a similar tone and accent
I think Thai sounds nothing like Canto and Viet, but I definitely think Canto and Viet sound similar. Thai sounds very similar to Lao.
I think people confuse them because of their tones. Thai is more expressive and distinct (with words). Vietnamese sounds more...hard to hear? almost?? And Cantonese sounds, obviously, similar to Chinese languages. Yet dispite these differences, I still sometimes confuse them with each other
I find thai and vietnamese so easily recognizable but i can’t determine cantonese, mandarin and other chinese languages from each other.
I think it's really challenging when trying to differentiate the following language from each other:
- Thai, Lao, Teochew
- Vietnamese, Cambodian, Burmese(maybe). (I speak Cantonese so I can tell it apart)
The Tagalog speaker in the video had me initially confused with Bahasa Indonesia due to the intonation.
I surprised myself by getting all of em right and I'm nigerian. Now I see the time I spent in Papua new guinea watching Asian cable stations didn't go to waste 😁
Please do an episode with Polynesian languages! 🙏🏽
And I doubt this will happen, but it'd be pretty awesome if you threw in some Ryūkyūan languages into one of these episodes! Highlighting the indigenous people in Asian countries would be even more mindblowing for folks who think Asia is a monolith.
She almost not recognize her relative's language, that was a close one
4/4. I’m in Houston, it’s an incredibly diverse place so these are languages I’m fairly familiar with.
Like most of the world
Yay, for diversity!
Why aren't you dump?
I'm so happy that I got three right (Mandarin, Vietnamese, and Japanese)! 😊 This was a really cool video. And the song at the end cracked me up! 😆
A small group of people may hate that America has so many different races. But, I think it's what makes it so beautiful. Only in America can you have so many mixes of people.. for instance, my son is Filipino, Chinese, Spanish, Bulgarian, and Greek. My son loves it. No one can figure out what he is and when asked, they're like, he's just beautiful, lol. I'll take that :D
The USA is not the only multicultural country.
* Canada has entered the chat *
*singapore has entered the chat*
*The United Kingdom has entered the chat*
@Koko martin but not every American with filipino blood you see are brown right?
my filipino bestfriend in Cal is white af, so maybe his/her son is 25% of something? 🤔
im not even asian and i could tell what these languages all were
SAME
Coming from a Filipino, you'll know it's Filipino when you hear bits of English, Spanish and Malay in one sentence 😁
I got them all right, you guys need a part 2 or a much longer video.
I got 3/4 and got the Vietnamese one wrong. I thought it was Thai because it really sounded Thai especially with how she spoke the words.
A little fun fact: the formal name of the language from the Philippines is called Filipino instead of Tagalog. In law, it's Filipino. It was Tagalog in the past but was changed due to various reasons and one of them is that Tagalog is originally a different dialect. Filipino is actually a combination of a lot of main dialects during Manuel Quezon's time such as Kapampangan and Tagalog.
Rather than "formal name," Filipino is the standardized variety of Tagalog. Also, Tagalog and Kapampangan are not dialects; they are languages. They are unintelligible to the speakers of both languages. A dialect is just the regional variety of a language such as Batangas Tagalog or Manila Tagalog for the Tagalog language. :>
Yeah i’m a native VNese and her accent is very thick and isn’t natural (like ofc she’s an non-native speaker)
I think if you use all native-only people, it would make the blindfold game much interesting.
YES!!! Thank you for pointing this out, this is a huge pet peeve of mine that people say we speak Tagalog in Manila and Cebuano in Cebu and that Cebuano is a dialect. Filipino like Putong Hua so it's a standardized language that includes Tagalog among others. Cebuano is also a language so is Pampangueno, and Chavacano, and Hiligaynon etc.
@@chevynxu362 yeah. I heard a lot of Vietnamese and thought it was Burmese.
@@truthseeker1934 So Im not the only one who thought it sounded like Burmese? Why is that?
The Vietnamese threw me off bc of how slowly it was spoken. I’m used to hearing it fast paced
Nope. That was Filipino because they said "lengwahe". If they said "wika", then it would be Tagalog.
Kapampangan is a language not a dialect.
This is awesome! Can you do a similar video with someone guessing slavic languages? :)
Chinese tends to have up and down tones which differs from japanese, which tends to have even length syllables and is a bit more monotone. Korean tends to sound similar to Japanese however it sounds a tad different in the way the syllables are pronounced; a bit longer. Thai is much different, it's similar to chinese because it has different tones but it sounds like you're spitting out words and you roll your r's sometimes too. I'm not too sure about other asian languages, but this is how I distinguish between those four at least!
JAPANESE WAS SO EASY TO RECOGNIZE!
I am Bulgarian so I am from a totally different region. Mandarin and Japanese were definitely the easiest cause I ve heard them multiple times and I can say I am pretty familiar with how they sound. Vietnamese sounded a bit like Thai but I could tell it wasnt. I was wondering between Vietnamese and Khmer(?). Tagalog was hard to guess too. I ve never heard the language but I knew there was Spanish influence on it so I was able to recognise it cause I heard something that sounded like the verb 'entender' in Spanish.
When you hear some Spanish words in an Asian Person... That would be a Filipino🤣🤣🤣🤣
Haha.. I got it all.. Thanks.. I really enjoyed it❤️❤️.. I think you need a part 2😉😉
I’m originally from Japan and I have many friends from different countries in Asia. I got them all correct from the first word. Thank you so much for doing this. I know “Asia” is like 1 country for most of Americans and it is very nice to see someone bringing it up like this. Please make episode 2.
she’s not identifying from “around” asia she’s identifying from east and south east asia, asia is way bigger and more diverse than ur classic “asian”
Do more videos like this.
Good thing out parents would still make sure that we learn both of their languages.
That was easy. But have you added some turkic and would be a whole different story lol
I'm so proud of myself, I'm Mexican and got all of these right haha
Hard mode would have been identifying malaysian, indonesian, and filipino from each other if you don't know the language, haha! even though i speak tagalog i sometimes have to listen very carefully when i hear the other two because i'm not sure if it's just a philippine dialect that i don't know!
Unsa kaha ni ang akong giisturya? Bahasa ba ni, sinultian sa Philippines? (Yeh I'm genuinely curious as to what language you think I was typing in)
@@lylealburo8244 as a neighbour of philippines, i know that “ang” mean “and”, and “bahasa” mean “language”, cause in Indonesian language is also bahasa
@@Byeodee "ang" is not "and". It's similar to a definite article, e.g. "the", but its accurate term is "focus marker". And "Bahasa" in the language I wrote in is the name we give to the different variations of Malay, e.g. Indonesian and Malaysian; it doesn't mean "language".
@@lylealburo8244 oh, it was just my guess sorry
@@Byeodee no, don't be sorry! I didn't mean to make my comment seem rude.
In surprised at how challenging it seemed for her to be sure of the languages. They are quite distinct... well, in my opinion and I'm Puerto Rican and West Indian (Bahamas) mix American.
The subtitle when the person said they knew how to speak Kapampangan, but the person literally said Linguahe which means language.
Raise your hand if you got all of them right only because you have a habit of watching foreign films - The Filipino mermaid movie is the only reason I got that one right 😂👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
What mermaid movie is that?
@ᜑᜃᜒᜇᜓ ᜆᜃᜒᜐᜒ ✓ oh the one of janella?
You guys should do with South Asian languages as well specialy eastern Region of South Asia.
I think the easiest way to recognise Japanese is because the words pretty much always end in a vowel never a consonant
Switching up positions for you!~🎶 Cookin’ in the kitchen and I’m in the bedroom 🎶 I’m in the Olympics, way I’m jumpin’ through hoops 🎶
i played along and these were mad easy lol. I guess i have a lot of asian friends and i also grew up watching anime and now kdramas lol. Also I'm filipino lol. And also that Filipina has the most filipina looking face i can say ahha. Like if i was to cast someone to be a spokesperson for filipinos to people that had never been I'd cast her because of the big bright smile, the big friendly eyes and the tan skin. Also she looked like 5 past filipino friends i've had throughout my life lol. just one of those faces.
That was so easy, I identified all the language while multitasking.
They should sneak in Cebuano or Bisaya, it is also widely spoken in the Philippines.
Even iloko is widely spoken.
Cebuano literally speaks bisaya. Lol
Lmao uhaw talaga mga bisaya sa representation. Alam niyo naman siguro na "Filipino" yong national language natin. Sa Filipino language, lahat ng Pilipino nakaka-relate since nakakaintindi ang lahat neto. Pag nilagay mo bisaya diyan, bisaya lang nakaka-relate. Pano naman yong mga Tausog, Maranao, Ilokano, Bicolano, Hiligaynon, etc. ? Dba?
@@DaveChuaa Tagalog man o Bisaya, parehas lang kayu uhaw.
@@MrJeszam Tagalog is different from Filipino language. Filipino language is a STANDARDIZED version of Tagalog, at yan ang national language natin, hindi Tagalog. Kaya dapat lang na Filipino language ang gamitin para eh-reprsent ang Pinas, kasi hindi lahat ng Pilipino ay Bisaya. Ikaw yong mukhang uhaw, uminom ka ng tubig kasi tuyo na ata utak mo HAHAHAHAHAHA
Part 2 please !!
I work with a-lot of Vietnamese n that was the calmest Vietnamese i heard so i was thrown off
Lol I actually guessed all correct! I love learning different languages so much and it's very fun . I myself am South Asian so I actually took some classes to learn a few of the different Asian languages .
these were easy lol should have included more countires tbh
I think because I am an enthusiast when it comes to asian languages I thought it was very easy to distinguish them, but, of course, those are major languages so it there was one dialect I wouldn't know it
Pampangueno is a language. The Philippines have lots of languages and I speak 2 of them Filipino and Cebuano, Google even translates to Cebuano if you want to. There is also Hiligaynon, Chavacano (a Spanish Creole), and others. Taiwanese is also a different language it's a type of Chinese language and it is also a language that I happen to speakl at home. It's kind of sad that Filipinos who move to the US they don't keep the Filipino language alive and teach their kids, that's what I noticed with Filipino immigrants to the US, Chinese or Indian kids 100% speak their ancestral languages at least from what I've observed. My family are Chinese immigrants but have moved from different provinces in the Philippines which is why I know 2 Chinese languages as well as 2 Philippine languages. It has always been helpful to know all of them and now I'm learning Portuguese (I'm nearly there) and French.
Got them all. That was pretty easy.
It is funny how Indians are not seen as Asians
This was actually really easy! Knowing a fair amount of both Korean and Chinese and being familiar with Japanese made it even easier
Yay got them all right xD should make a part 2 lol
This was ridiculously easy, and I'm not even asian. Yet she struggled
I got all of those right almost instantly. I don't understand them BUT I've watched enough Asian content with its original audio, with English subtitles, to differentiate the way the languages sound. Not bad for a black guy who grew up in the projects 😁
I had no problem guessing the Japanese one because I understood everything she was saying lol. I’m also learning Mandarin, so some words I understood.
Was correct on all 5 them. Had some some doubts about what language Ace was speaking.
Xing Chào, こんにちわ, I’m Vietnamese-Canadian, I speak a little bit of Vietnamese to my Vietnamese people in Toronto, as well as my families in USA and back home in Vietnam, I met some of the Filipino people in Toronto while during the mass and I did learned Japanese by watching TH-cam videos, movies, as well as for Google translate. I took a Japanese class around last year, I could speak Japanese well. I wish I could go to Japan one day after the COVID pandemic was over.
I can't really distinguish between mandarin and cantonese. But in san Francisco china town or oakland china town they all speak cantonese .
Got them all right!
Thankful that I live in New York City with a diverse melting pot of people.
I hear these languages almost everyday.
I forgot english too onceafter holiday. For 2 weeks! I didnt get single one but Japanese one only because even news reader did the classic bow.
I got it all right! Wasn't that hard but kinda tricky bec of the tone
I am a Chinese Australian and korean and I am proud of that some people ask why don't you live in Australia if you are Australian I am like I just don't wanna 😂and they don't believe me that I am Australian Chinese and Korean my grandma and my grandma's mom is Chinese and my father in korean Chinese 😂I am so confused sometimes like what am I korean or Australian Chinese 😳😅
Nailed it.
I typically have no issue differentiating the more major Asian languages like Mandarin, Korean, Japanese, Thai, and Tagalog. But I’m proud of myself for guessing Vietnamese correctly as I’ve had less exposure to it.
That song at the end though
I got them all right thanks to Moses aka @Laoshu50500 TH-cam videos, may his soul Rest In Peace 🥺🕊..... One of the most amazing person to walk this Earth...
4/4 as a white American, but I’ve been trying to learn Mandarin and Japanese for a while 🤷🏻♀️
They should've tried getting other asian people instead of always having Chinese and Japanese to guess.. Where's the Laos, Thai, Malay or maybe Tamil speakers? Would be so interesting if they'd figure it out. There's not much exposure about other asian people for Americans lol
Yeah that would have been harder japanese is just free win
I always see Thai though. I hope they cast more South Asian and some small countries in Southeast Asia like Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia.
Proud to say I got all of these. Like most of these were pretty easy. I know a lot of people don't really know what most languages sound like, but I don't know. I guess it's just easy to me.
She is SO beautiful! 🤭❤️
I wish been multilingual!
Japanese are not that hard to speak and listen(especially if you are Korean or Chinese). But is a nightmare to write because Japanese uses three writing systems.
Not really, it's "3 systems" but two of them are alphabets so it's not really a whole lot more complicated
It's interesting they wrote the simplified Chinese for 再見 when in taiwan they use traditional characters.
if u watch anime japanese was pretty easy to guess. And I noticed that in order to distinguish tagalog, just spot a Spanish word in it
loved it !!!!!!!!!!!
Got them all - though I grew up speaking Mandarin so the first one was a freebie lol
1. Guessed it correctly
2. Guessed it correctly
3. Guessed it correctly
4. Guessed it correctly
I surprisingly aced it. Vietnamese was a guess together with Khmer language but the rest of them I heard. I love listening to languages and guess which one they are. Most difficult is off course to separate Baltic languages and African languages but I can hear the continent nowadays. Practice!
Nope, Khmer and Vietnamese are completely different but if, you listen to Thai and Laos, you will hear something similar though.
4/4 lol i am vietnamese and i totally relate to that girl. lol i sound like a child speaking in vietnamese too
2:27 I'm native born Vietnamese, that Vietnamese speak Vietnamese like a foreigner who is practicing her Vietnamese but none stop being laughed at by other Vietnamese men for how funny her Vietnamese sounds.
kapampangan is a language!! taglish or the form of tagalog spoken in bulacan are dialect
But like why she gotta be blindfolded to listen to these?
I think it's because these are her co-workers from BuzzFeed and seeing the people might give her a clue as to what language they're speaking? Not 100% but that's my guess
4/5. I knew the last one was for sure Japanese because I speak it.
4 out of 4! 🤩 Greatful to be a New Yorker
One of the key:
Accent
Most common word
Find things you recognize about the countru
4/4. Easy. At first, I was trying to hold my hand in front of the screen so I wouldn't see the speaker but it wouldn't cover enough in case the surroundings helped me. Then I realized, I can close my eyes. :-P
