What really amazed me about this video is that people from, literally, all around the world not only speak their own language (of course), but have learnt German too and are now giving their views very comfortably in English.
It's not uncommon to know and be proficient in 3 languages in Western-Europe. I know no-one who's monolingual.
McJibbin unleash your shackles and travel the world.
Traditional Oxford English is usually taught in most schools, but the influence of American pronunciation and word choice has been present for decades through music and later through videos, international news, etc. This is why many of the younger generations in particular seem to sound "American".
We call it "proper" English where i come from in the uk
@@catchcarpcarterand British English sounds way better not to mention I heard way less of these gen z bulls… in UK than in American social media. (Not native speakers opinion…)
He was referring to those 2 girls from Ireland. Under certain circumstances, the Irish accent may sound a bit American.
I just wanna say, i love these mental health aware send-offs. Idk if people notice but i did and i want to say thanks!
The women from Ireland just sounded Irish - to these English ears.
Sorry to say but the chinese woman is telling nonsens about shootings in Germany. They are really very rare. Futhermore you have to have a "Waffenschein" which is the permission to own a gun. If you are previously convicted you are not allowed to own a gun. Of course in big cities like Hamburg or Berlin there are certain districts I would avoid at night (as in all big western cities) but for sure no no-go-areas.
We tried a German-Japanese alliance. It was called AXIS and did not go too well for either country… LOL. But you are correct. Although our cultures could hardly be any more different, we do have a LOT in common as well. But there is also a lot that differs vastly between Japan and Germany…
All of these people speak 3 or more languages and are very educated..
Netflix is so much to answer for. Everybody now speaks with American accent. I think it’s sad says to go to tell which countries people came from before. Plus many Americans already think English is American😮
In Croatia everyone stares at black people and Asians because we are 98% white country so we did not see a black person for months before that. Most are just surprised, some are racist for sure, but a small minority. It is not really an issue when there is no black people here.
Once I informed myself about safety in multicultural countries I lost all will for experimentation. Greetings from safest capitol city of EU Zagreb.
4:52 I think two big things you can look at for 'differentness' of a language is relatedness as well as contact. You can definitely overstate this, but a lot of English words and phrases will translate directly into German and Dutch. Then you've got the north germanic languages, which will be the same story but likely less as they split off earlier. Then likely French and Latin, followed by the other Romance languages. As a lot of influencial English speakers spoke those languages as well. After that, it gets a lot 'crazier'.
For example, the Slavic languages, while still related, were a lot less influential / in contact with English. There will likely be similar phrases, but a lot more shared between each other than with Romance and Germanic language speakers. This is where grammar also gets pretty 'whacky' from an English speakers perspective. For example like in Latin, with Slavic languages, the word order isn't set. You can pretty much put the words in any order and still be understood! For example, where the purpose of a specific sentence in a Germanic sentence would be defined by the place of its words, in the Slavic language (most of them anyway, there are exceptions) will have the words take different forms. Check out a Langfocus video on a Slavic language (Russian, Polish, Ukrainian, etc) to learn more of how this works! Let's now look at the completely unrelated languages. These will often be VERY different and unintuitive to an English speaker in the way that it can function.
For example, while most Slavic languages have the function of the words baked into them, languages like English have time baked into them. You have to specify a time in languages, even if in the abstract. There are languages where you don't have to do this, like many Chinese varieties. Where you indicate time by separate words like yesterday or next year, but don't even have to. Making it possible to, for example, write poetry completely removed from time!
You also have languages where the words and grammar you use depend highly on who you're speaking to, making it so that you're essentially speaking multiple different but highly related languages to for example you classmates, your Grandma, and your boss. You see this often in East and South East Asian languages.
Then you've got Semitic languages where they largely only write the constonants, and the specific function of the word is depending on the vowels. Check out this example on Wikipedia from Arabic. Where the root is the constonents K-T-B meaning 'write'. Then you've got:
كِتاب kitāb "book", كُتُب kutub "books", كاتِب kātib "writer", كُتّاب kuttāb "writers", كَتَب kataba "he wrote", يكتُب yaktubu "he writes
Then you've got languages like Turkish, without gendered pronouns. 'He', 'she', 'it', and singular 'they' all translate to just 'o'. As well as the Bantu languages where, for example, Swahili has 15 grammatical genders / noun classes. Depending on shape, gender, animacy, abstraction, and more! I also think it's Navajo, where these noun classes are determined by a to us rather abstract animacy, and the more animate something is, the earlier it comes in a sentence.
And that's only the very tippity top of the cool ways we evolved to express ourselves in this world. It's honestly mind-blowing how different but also similar we can be in the most complex shared thing we mostly do daily: Communication. I swear I could talk and learn about this wonderful subject forever!
I think the Irish accent has heavily influenced the US accent
I think, the Banana thing was in Italy. Really sad....
Never mind... Idiots are all around the world, in more than sufficient numbers...
Your second pronounciation of dog (Hund / the u spoken like the ou from you) was right.
Talking of people from all over the world celebrating together, have you seen this, Connor? "SPECTACULAR Paris 2024 Opening Ceremony! 💥🇫🇷 | Highlights" - Olympics
elf, zwölf, dreizehn, vierzehn, fünfzehn, sechzehn, siebzehn, achtzehn, neunzehn, zwanzig... when you've learnd that, I'll teach you to count until 30 ;-)
Listing numbers is not "teaching numbers"
We call a dog Hund. You're right
1:49 What makes you think it's the Brish Anthem? Given the Geography, then anthem of Liechtenstein is more likely. But since it's Germany, it's certainly the Hymn of the German Empire (Emperor) "Heil dir im Siegerkranz" - all are the same music. The lyrics are "a bit" different 😀 That'd actually make a good reaction video all in itself.
Well, your german sounds quite good for a beginner, so keep ON learning ✌️ learn twenty german questions with the answers and you can lead a small conversation..
There are two kinds of Norwegian in Norway, too: Bokmål and Nynorsk.
one thing is important, in Europe, if I don't count a few southern countries, we are all 100 times quieter than the rest of the world ..and that's why we are also bothered by noisy tourists etc etc ..we have our culture and your noise disturbs it
Japan ... not a southern country
@@Michael_from_EU_Germany didn't you understand what I wrote?? Southern countries like Italy, Spain and the Balkans are noisier, the rest of Europe is quiet... Japan and South Korea are OK, the rest of the world is enormously noisy
@@ayrtonsenna1020 You wrote that nonsense: "than the rest of the world"
@@ayrtonsenna1020I live in Italy and lived in Croatia, as a German. I don't find them very loud on daily occasions. Especially not, compared to US Americans
Could you finish Basil series?
Hey American. It's easier to learn another language if you start learning about the culture. First you get motivated, second you will find a purpose in learning the language. Then start with a hardcore memorisation of most common words in the language. You can find a list of these words online, it's usually something 2-5K words. You go from there.
Man, learning languages? Look up Kurt Hugo Schneider. He is a musician of the legendary type here. He decided that he has many subscribers from Asia. So he learned Chinese and Indonesian. Now he speaks them. As for learning Indonesian he made a video how much you can learn in a week from zero. That’s how he started. Look up on his channel. He also speaks Spanish. That’s after all the 2nd most spoken language in USA. So why not?
19:25 'I'm learning a language. what language should I learn?' as an American the most useful second language would be Spanish, right? if you wanna punish yourself, consider a non Indo-European language like Mandarin, Japanese, Korean etc - have fun! 😊
Got some WWII history you can ignore… or can you? Video title: "Australian Genius Tactic That Completely Wrecked Rommel" about the Rats of Tobruk.
oh mcjibbin...the language word thing is maybe only for the Latin Germanic languages - but compared to other languages it could be multiple words, a phrase or different words for the same meaning. learn more languages. I can speak German, English, Afrikaans. I need to do more. You can also do better. I need to speak at least French as that is taught in most German schools as a 2nd language. So I should be on a minimum of 4. We have to strive for more. knowledge = power.
9:08 I think he meant that he appreciated his family and culture more, now that he is in a different country. I think what confused both of us is that this wouldn't be specific to Germany, but it's a valid observation, nonetheless.
Oh, and on the language thing; Yeah, when languages are close, it's often a case of just translating the words, but further apart and the structure is completely different. In English, we say: "I would like a sandwich." In Turkish it's like "My 'can' a sandwich wants."
'Can' (pronounced "jan" with A as in khan) is basically untranslateable, but it's kind of like the soul or essence of a person. 'My can' is also what you call your girlfriend/boyfriend/wife/husband.
The banana incident: Idk the circumstances and could be completely wrong. Generally, when something like this happens it is because the player is from the other team. Soccer fans, esp. ultras, are VERY tribal. They don't care about race or nationality but if you're from the other team (esp. when there is a rivalry or animosity between the teams) you are the enemy. Oc the banana makes it look race-related and maybe it was, but I guess this was just the icing on the cake.
Another Ultra expert 🤡🙄🤦
It was also the anthem of Germany during the German Empire. That is why it plays here. The title was Heil dir im Siegerkranz. It was also the anthem of Liechtenstein.
He plays the UK national anthem because the interviewer and channel owner is from the UK and he named his channel "yourtruebrit". He took an interest in Germany one day, then decided to travel across Germany from one corner to the other and only stay with friends he'd make along the way. He filmed some of his experiences (see playlist on his channel). He later decided to start learning German and to continue making videos in Germany (these days typically interviews like this one).
Another language: German is not that far from English, French or Spanish is more useable if you want to travel.
As I said years before... You would fit very well into Europe...!
Funny you say that german culture and Japanese culture is a like as they were allies in WW2 🤣🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️
I think you're spontane 👍
Hey there! I'm german with a Thai mum, and I belive, there is a saying in Thai, that we don't have in german: If you spit into the sky, it'll hit you in the face. But if you spit on the ground, it'll never return. Wich means, dont't gossip obviosly, cause you'll never know, how it will return to you. I can be very wong and this idiom dosen't exist, though... 😅
Wie wäre es denn mit... "Gegen den Wind pinkeln..."?
@@melchiorvonsternberg844 ja, das passt ganz gut :)
The Albanian language is fascinating as well.
The two Irish women had no trace of an American accent. In a past video of Rick Steve taking to an Irishman, you convinced yourself that he was American. In another reaction you convinced yourself that a Hungarian man was American, then you thought he might be Canadian. He was Hungarian. If you ever left your bedroom and travelled to Ireland you would convince yourself that they were all American! Can you do a reaction to the Irish language?
You've got no one who you trust and who you could talk to alarm your only friend knife that will guide you and watch you in life I'll be a true friend to you you've been dealing with a lot of false ass women out there and they're gonna ruin your life and I know I've been putting spells trying to get to make that will never work because I'm too strong for them
The only true friend you had was me but for your lady friends I'll tell you something now they're trying to get what they can offer you soapy weary be wary of the
