As a German speaker I’m offended the German girl didn’t even try and make the others say Rinderkennzeichnungsfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz Which is one of the longest German word with 79 letters 😂
What makes Swedish hard is that we have around 20+ different vowel sounds written with 9 letters in total (a, e, i, o, u, y, å, ä, ö). Every vowel letter have at least 2 different sounds. Some sounds are also very unique to the Swedish language. Like the combination "sj" and "sk" in "sjuksköterska and also how we pronounce the letter "u". These two sounds are the easiest to spot if you are a native Swedish speaker or not.
@@sheermershk7364 Get out of here with your xenophobic bullshit. Yes, a lot of people here speak Arabic, but most will learn Swedish. Go out and talk to people, you'll see.
Spanish is so straightforward compared to the other languages and how they’re spelled versus how they’re pronounced. It’s extremely phonetic and spelled exactly how it’s pronounced without exceptions really. Just know the rules and you’re good to go. Italian is similar but it has double consonants that add a layer of difficulty that Spanish doesn’t have.
Except it's not pronounced exactly how it's written. LL = i, c = s (sometimes), G and J = H (sometimes) and so on. So, it's really far from "without exceptions".
@@bjorgcarlson pretty much so. You don't pronounce jugo as giugo or Julio as Giulio, you pronounce it hugo and Hulio. It might sound weird because the letter H is silent in Spanish (hola = ola), but phonetically, it exists. Are you spanish?
The Swedish sj-sound is pronounced differently in different regions. I lay the sj-sound in the front of the mouth and use the tounge tip up to the top of the mouth.
Personally i think that the less a language is phonetic, the harder it is to learn, because you're essentially learning every word double if that makes sense. You have to learn the intricate pronunciation of single letters and their combinations all seperately and to get to the point in a language you're learning that you can make out the native pronunciation of a word you haven't heard yet is insanely difficult. This becomes even harder if the language has a couple inconsistent rules and/or exceptions out of the blue. Oh and of course if the language's alphabet is not your native alphabet, that includes simple things like having additional letters like ö, ä, ü but even more so if its a whole new alphabet like greek, russian or chinese. Languages are really cool.
True only to a certain point, i'd say. Usually the other languages follow rules in their pronunciation and make a lot of sense to get to the right pronunciation, so after just a little while into the learning process you won't even notice English, French or Gailic aren't like German, Japanese or Italian. Exceptions are languages like Chinese, where you have to literally memorize a picture or comination of pictures describing every single word.
I always think about it this way: In French, English or Gaelic the letters are used like numbers in equations producing curves. Once you are familiar with the math you'll get every new word without ever looking up the pronunciation. In Italian, Russian, German, Japanese or Spanish, the letters (being it Cyrillic, Latin/Arabic or Hiragana) are more like coordinates that don't produce a curved graph but simply have to be connected with streight lines. Letters do different things in those two groups, yet it's perfectly logic.
Hola! The french words actually have direct equivalents in spanish: Mille feuille => Mil hojas : It is a dessert, and literally means "Thousand sheets", because it's made of various layers, (in similar way as "lasagna" as the girl said). Caoutchouc => Caucho : It's the natural rubber, obtained from a tree, not from petroleum. (In fact, as far as I know, this word arrived at french from spanish).
@@patax144Spanish borrowed the word from Quechua as both caucho and cauchuc. French borrowed cauchuc as caoutchouc. French had to add vowels to match the Spanish pronunciation because their writing system has way more possible vowel sounds than Spanish. And the t was necessary because ch in French sounds like English sh. But tch sounds more like the Spanish ch it was trying to copy. The French spelling is also an English word but it sounds more like cow-chook.
As a French native who has travelled a lot, I've found that one of the most challenging French word for foreigners is : "Hurluberlu". Try it... (un hurluberlu is a kind of weirdo, an eccentric person - though the word is not commonly used)
In Spanish, we have the same word for Italian word Chiglia, it's "quilla" with a particular pronounciation of "ll" that is disappearing more and more. However, we still recognise it. People who say "ll" differently from "y" and in a way that is more similar to "gl" are called "lleístas".
They should have done "Scheveningen" and "Grootmoeder" for Dutch, that sounds soo aggressive. Fun fact, in WW2 people had to say these words to confirm if they were Dutch or not.
As Italian and Spanish are similar and i know some Spanish i pronounced the italian words more easily and but also i mispronounced the dutch words spoken by Karijn in german words 😂
I love seeing both of my countries (Germany and Switzerland) in one video. It’s funny to me because the languages are so similar and I can speak both but then they are so different again.
"Chuchichästli" is one of my favorites :p I'm from the Netherlands and we moved to Switzerland. The swiss "Ch" is pretty similar to the dutch "g" and thats the reason why it's easier to say for dutch persons
As i studied a little german i know some words and how the languages is spoken and of course i think there're similarities between the german and dutch
They are pretty similar actually, I'm Dutch and I'm able to read German texts without much difficulty. Understanding German is a bit harder though because the pronunciation is quite different
You are right, for Dutch it is easy to understand German, but for Germans, me included, it is not the same with Dutch. We just understand a few words, but that's it. 😅 For example the word "meteorologisch" is completely similiar in German, so I did not understand why the German girl had a problem with it. Especially the "sch" is typical in German. ✌🏽😁
Finally a difficult language for them to try to pronounce, Swedish is hard. the Sj-sound is bloody difficult, and the German Girl was the closest. The second word they all failed even more miserably, they clearly didn't pronounce every single vowel... Tra-kass-e-ri-er.
The swedish sj-sound sounds the same but what can make it harder for a new learner is that they can be spelled differently. For example: sj, sch, stj, skj, ch, ti, si, ssi. And also sk followed by the soft vowels e i y ä ö (exception for skiss, skippa).
As a german, the words weren't hard. Try THIS instead: Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft or this Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz
🇩🇪 Streichholzschächtelchen (little matchbox) was the most difficult to pronounce for my Spanish and Norwegian friends so far. So many different ch and sch sounds bubched in one word.
I really don't understand why the hard 'G' sound in Dutch seems to be considered the 'only correct way to pronounce the G like'. Dutch is a special case in that regard, because the sound changes significantly towards the softer variation once you travel to the south of the country of the Netherlands. In fact, all Flemish people speak Dutch with either the softer g sound or even an H sound instead. The Swedish girl actually gives a good example of how that soft g sounds like in Dutch when she teaches the others her Swedish word.
There are tons of accents in The Netherlands. I think we have over 15 different accents here.. i don’t know why but that might be why at every city they tend to pronouns the G or just most words in general differently. In Groningen they use the soft Flemish g, they also do that in Limburg! They start with a soft G and it ends a bit harder. Idk why we are making it so difficult in The Netherlands lol
I just googled "difficult english words" and would love to see the ESL people try to replicate either American or British pronunciations. I've seen videos like that on other channels and I find it fascinating to see people struggle with words I take for granted. Then I get realize how weird those words and our ways of pronouncing them actually are.
I bet every person who knows Swedish could've guessed sjuksköterska was gonna be on there. Recently I've been stumbling over Raljerar-- too many R&L sounds in a row. LOL
As a native German person, I was shocked the words I use almost everyday are the hardest. In my opinion the hardest to pronounce is: Aufmerksamkeitsdefizithyperaktivitätstörung
I grew up bilingual Fryisian and Dutch and nowadays I speak Frisian, Dutch, German and English all of these pronunciations are quite easy for me. I definitely don’t know all the Latin and French words but just copying them is easy. But I can also easily copy an accent. I worked in the hospitality industry for about 10 years and Germans often asked me if I lived in Germany for some time or even if I was born there. Haha and my English teacher thought 1 of my parents was english…
Swedish has the military term: "Pansarvärnspjästerrängbil". There are lots of longer military terms in Swedish. Also, in parts of Sweden, the word for "yes" is pronounced while *inhaling* air. Technical term: Ingressive sound.

Dutch is hard but easy at the same time like the "ui" "ou" "au" "oe" "ie" "uu" "ee" "aa" and like the pronouncing of g / sch and some other stuff like if there are two letters like "visser" the "e" is pronounced shorter so its easy but hard but after learning it for years its better but people realise easily that you might not be dutch
CH in Dutch is either a G or SH sound. Germany and Switzerland should be the best in it as they have similar sounds (Germanic language group) Sweden however should be able to say it as well as it's within the same language group. For our Dutch lady in the video, I'm guessing she's from the western part of the Netherlands, North or South Holland probably, perhaps Utrecht. For American-English, yeah I was expecting her to fail as she isn't used to any other languages then her own. No shade on her, but it's the unfortunate truth. It makes things harder to pronounce. Squirrel in Dutch is eekhoorn., not really similar to German.
7:39 I'm Dutch, but I have no clue what Dutch word she's referring to here 🤔 We have "keukenkastje" (kitchen cupboard) but that sounds quite different to me, so I'd argue would help much in pronouncing "chuchichäschtli".
@@goudendynamiethd2117 I get the similarities, but I specifically meant the way way she mentions how it's so similar as the Dutch word, right before her pronunciation attempt, which made it seem to me that knowing the Dutch word gave her more confidence in that attempt. That being said, looking back at it now I can can see how hearing it might help, rather than just reading it, since some characters are different even though they sound the same (such as ch -> k), adding an extra layer of perceived difference.
Electroencefalografista is maybe long word, but not hard. I am Slovak and I would say this is not only Spanish word but also Slovak word. They are exactly the same. It is because many doctor specialists have international names.
The Swedish girl sings meteorologisch ❤ she nailed it, unlike the Dutchy 😂😮 She really proved the point I've been making since starting school . dutch is so hard, that even we suck at it 😂😂😂😂😂😂 My favorite German word ,Schlittschuhlaufen. Or like I first said Sjitschuhlaufen😂

@@SinilkMudilaSama What are you even saying dude? Did you read my question? I asked how you came to the conclusion that they don't, referring to Dutch people mastering their native language.
It'd be interesting to see how different the word in each language is. In german it's: supercalifragilisticexpialigetisch. In english the end is different and they say: ....gotish or sth
i feel like the correct pronunciation should be revealed at the end. saying it first just makes everyone copy the same thing. why is no one in the comments talking about this?
@@flz7056 I mean if one hears the phonetics of the word, it isn't hard to reciprocate it with minimal mistake. In the end everyone here is trying to get the pronunciation as close as to what the native speaker sounds like yeah? It is a natural human tendency in this particular case to try to get it right since they have heard how it actually sounds. This video proves my comment, because at times some of the participants do say that they will be able to get the pronunciation right if they hear it multiple times from the native speaker.
You made me google it and try. According to google translator i pronounce it similar to the german "Hauch" except i change the "a" for and "ä" and the ending sound (like "ch" in german) needs to sound as if i'm trying to accumulate spit and cough slime from the back of my throat (while trying to vibrate my uvula to death) to spit it into the face of someone i really hate.
Instead of "Mille-Feuille" (well done for spelling this word correctly because when talking about a thousand paper sheets you have to use the plural form "mille feuilles", yup another exception) a better choice would have been "Écureuil" because it contains the specific French "u" and "r". And "caoutchouc" (from the Spanish word "cauchuc" and originating from a Perivian language) isn't really hard to pronounce in most languages. "Trakasserier" (declension of "trakasseri") comes from the French "tracas, tracasser, tracasserie".
Before clicking on this video I knew the German girl would be choosing "Eichhörnchen". It's THE German shibboleth, followed by "Streichholzschächtelchen" (small matchbox).
I wonder whether the Swiss girl is part Spanish, she had no accent and she also looks more like southern (dark hair and eyes). Most Swiss people look more like Germans, even people from southern Switzerland have lighter eye colours and hair. Also Swiss German people learn German from Kindergarten onwards, therefore the pronunciation is not difficult for us. We speak German. Also we learn either French or Italian as second foreign language (before English) therefore that’s also not a problem for us.
@@De_UROWhat? You mean Alleman? Swiss German is Alleman. Like Swabian, Alsace and Baden as well. But Switzerland also has Celtic roots and Roman. Its a mixture, thats why we mostly have Brown hair and some of us are actually really Dark with many facial Hair. Blondes are a bit more rare than north of us.
Perhaps she’s not comfortable speaking for every variety of English on Earth. Plenty of varieties of English around the world have sounds that American English generally does not.
@@juandiegovalverde1982 Yep they do! Around 30% of English if from French anyway, including Norman-French, Anglo-Norman, Old French and Middle French. It's always fun to point out words of French origin whenever I come across them 😉 But screw both of those words! It feels weird pronouncing them, even in both languages 🤣
Funnily enough, I personally find écureil easier to pronounce than squirrel... And besides, I'd really like to hear foreigners properly pronounce the Italian equivalent, "scoiattolo"...
Swedes do something weird in the back throat at the end of trakasserier, it is I think a weird tongue movement. I have dated a swedish girl for some years and I hear this more often. Can someone explain?

@@nataschag2069 Actually yes I believe that could be true. I took a duolingo course as a swede in swedish to check it out. At the end of the year I got a wrapped, I think and it said that the most studied language on Duolingo in Sweden there was Swedish. My guess is it's a combination between immigration and maybe few swedes using Duolingo to study other languages.

Or you did it on purpose, so no one will have to visit hospital? ))))) About Swedish. I love this language. It is very beautiful. The only thing about sjuksköterska. I am not a Swede, maybe it depends on the region, but when I was learning the language I heard how people pronounce it and in the end, it wasn't ska, it was shka.
Up north in Sweden they pronounce it ..shka, so it depends on the dialect. But also, in general, I think the combination "..rs.." have a tendency to merge into a sh-sound when spoken quickly.
@@ДиванныйМонстр-ъ8с But still, when it comes to "..rs.." transforming into a sh-sound when speaking fast, it's not a proper sh-sound. Us swedes definately still hear that it's "..rs.." and not a proper "sh". But for foreigners, I would not expect that they hear any difference. :)

Personally i think that the less a language is phonetic, the harder it is to learn, because you're essentially learning every word double if that makes sense. You have to learn the intricate pronunciation of single letters and their combinations all seperately and to get to the point in a language you're learning that you can make out the native pronunciation of a word you haven't heard yet is insanely difficult. This becomes even harder if the language has a couple inconsistent rules and/or exceptions out of the blue. Oh and of course if the language's alphabet is not your native alphabet, that includes simple things like having additional letters like ö, ä, ü but even more so if its a whole new alphabet like greek, russian or chinese.
Languages are really cool.
You managed to write all that down in one of the least phonetic languages of them all.
This was very much my experience learning English as a person from a country that uses the Cyrillic alphabet and has a pretty much phonetic language.
True only to a certain point, i'd say. Usually the other languages follow rules in their pronunciation and make a lot of sense to get to the right pronunciation, so after just a little while into the learning process you won't even notice English, French or Gailic aren't like German, Japanese or Italian. Exceptions are languages like Chinese, where you have to literally memorize a picture or comination of pictures describing every single word.
I always think about it this way: In French, English or Gaelic the letters are used like numbers in equations producing curves. Once you are familiar with the math you'll get every new word without ever looking up the pronunciation. In Italian, Russian, German, Japanese or Spanish, the letters (being it Cyrillic, Latin/Arabic or Hiragana) are more like coordinates that don't produce a curved graph but simply have to be connected with streight lines. Letters do different things in those two groups, yet it's perfectly logic.
Spanish 🇪🇸 girl is adorable
Hola! The french words actually have direct equivalents in spanish:
Mille feuille => Mil hojas : It is a dessert, and literally means "Thousand sheets", because it's made of various layers, (in similar way as "lasagna" as the girl said).
Caoutchouc => Caucho : It's the natural rubber, obtained from a tree, not from petroleum. (In fact, as far as I know, this word arrived at french from spanish).
Same in italian. Millefoglie and Caucciù.
Yes! Caucho comes from Quechua (Peru) and arrived to European languages from Spanish.
But french added extra letters to the word just to make it weird, like does it really need the t in the middle and the c at the end?
@@patax144Spanish borrowed the word from Quechua as both caucho and cauchuc. French borrowed cauchuc as caoutchouc. French had to add vowels to match the Spanish pronunciation because their writing system has way more possible vowel sounds than Spanish. And the t was necessary because ch in French sounds like English sh. But tch sounds more like the Spanish ch it was trying to copy.
The French spelling is also an English word but it sounds more like cow-chook.
@@alfrredd sí, kawchu.
As a French native who has travelled a lot, I've found that one of the most challenging French word for foreigners is : "Hurluberlu". Try it... (un hurluberlu is a kind of weirdo, an eccentric person - though the word is not commonly used)
In Spanish, we have the same word for Italian word Chiglia, it's "quilla" with a particular pronounciation of "ll" that is disappearing more and more. However, we still recognise it. People who say "ll" differently from "y" and in a way that is more similar to "gl" are called "lleístas".
In Portuguese language we also have the word quilha.

The hardest french word is "anticonstitutionnellement"
But even some french people are struggling with it
They should have done "Scheveningen" and "Grootmoeder" for Dutch, that sounds soo aggressive.
Fun fact, in WW2 people had to say these words to confirm if they were Dutch or not.
I love the Spanish language. Me encanta el idioma español
Você e mexicano? Huehuehue BR 🦤 dodô
As Italian and Spanish are similar and i know some Spanish i pronounced the italian words more easily and but also i mispronounced the dutch words spoken by Karijn in german words 😂
I love seeing both of my countries (Germany and Switzerland) in one video. It’s funny to me because the languages are so similar and I can speak both but then they are so different again.
"Chuchichästli" is one of my favorites :p I'm from the Netherlands and we moved to Switzerland. The swiss "Ch" is pretty similar to the dutch "g" and thats the reason why it's easier to say for dutch persons

As i studied a little german i know some words and how the languages is spoken and of course i think there're similarities between the german and dutch
dutch people are germans from swamps :) that's why
They are pretty similar actually, I'm Dutch and I'm able to read German texts without much difficulty. Understanding German is a bit harder though because the pronunciation is quite different
So it's not like, that everyone has german lessons in dutch schools? (:
@@xXFe_LixXx That probably helps too lol
You are right, for Dutch it is easy to understand German, but for Germans, me included, it is not the same with Dutch. We just understand a few words, but that's it. 😅
For example the word "meteorologisch" is completely similiar in German, so I did not understand why the German girl had a problem with it. Especially the "sch" is typical in German. ✌🏽😁
Finally a difficult language for them to try to pronounce, Swedish is hard. the Sj-sound is bloody difficult, and the German Girl was the closest.
The second word they all failed even more miserably, they clearly didn't pronounce every single vowel... Tra-kass-e-ri-er.
Danish is harder though!😅
What's hard about it? Many, many, many languages have the same or a similar sound.
The swedish sj-sound sounds the same but what can make it harder for a new learner is that they can be spelled differently. For example: sj, sch, stj, skj, ch, ti, si, ssi. And also sk followed by the soft vowels e i y ä ö (exception for skiss, skippa).
@@stefansoder6903 Can you pronounce danish? Let me hear! 😅
Trakasserier really shouldnt be hard. I dont know how else you would say it tbh. Maybe expecting a ck but thats it.
nah our french representation forgot anticonstitutionellement as a word
As a german, the words weren't hard.
Try THIS instead:
Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft
or this
Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz
🇩🇪 Streichholzschächtelchen (little matchbox) was the most difficult to pronounce for my Spanish and Norwegian friends so far. So many different ch and sch sounds bubched in one word.
I really don't understand why the hard 'G' sound in Dutch seems to be considered the 'only correct way to pronounce the G like'. Dutch is a special case in that regard, because the sound changes significantly towards the softer variation once you travel to the south of the country of the Netherlands. In fact, all Flemish people speak Dutch with either the softer g sound or even an H sound instead. The Swedish girl actually gives a good example of how that soft g sounds like in Dutch when she teaches the others her Swedish word.
There are tons of accents in The Netherlands. I think we have over 15 different accents here.. i don’t know why but that might be why at every city they tend to pronouns the G or just most words in general differently. In Groningen they use the soft Flemish g, they also do that in Limburg! They start with a soft G and it ends a bit harder. Idk why we are making it so difficult in The Netherlands lol
I'm Flemish and I've never heard anyone pronounce a g as an h
@@idkbalvan6303 well it sometimes sounds like a h comes after a soft g. Like ghoed instead of goed.

I just googled "difficult english words" and would love to see the ESL people try to replicate either American or British pronunciations. I've seen videos like that on other channels and I find it fascinating to see people struggle with words I take for granted. Then I get realize how weird those words and our ways of pronouncing them actually are.
I bet every person who knows Swedish could've guessed sjuksköterska was gonna be on there. Recently I've been stumbling over Raljerar-- too many R&L sounds in a row. LOL
As a native German person, I was shocked the words I use almost everyday are the hardest. In my opinion the hardest to pronounce is: Aufmerksamkeitsdefizithyperaktivitätstörung
There was « Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz ».
Oh yeah true
I think they should use words (hard to pronounce) that are really used in everyday life.
It would be funnier if they had to guess the pronunciation
I grew up bilingual Fryisian and Dutch and nowadays I speak Frisian, Dutch, German and English all of these pronunciations are quite easy for me. I definitely don’t know all the Latin and French words but just copying them is easy. But I can also easily copy an accent. I worked in the hospitality industry for about 10 years and Germans often asked me if I lived in Germany for some time or even if I was born there. Haha and my English teacher thought 1 of my parents was english…

Swedish has the military term: "Pansarvärnspjästerrängbil". There are lots of longer military terms in Swedish. Also, in parts of Sweden, the word for "yes" is pronounced while *inhaling* air. Technical term: Ingressive sound.

Dutch is hard but easy at the same time like the "ui" "ou" "au" "oe" "ie" "uu" "ee" "aa" and like the pronouncing of g / sch and some other stuff like if there are two letters like "visser" the "e" is pronounced shorter so its easy but hard but after learning it for years its better but people realise easily that you might not be dutch
As a finland-swed don’t pronunciatie the swedish words like a swed. pronunciate it like a Finland-swed it is so much easier
Yes finland has a very logical and stright forward Pronounciation. You say the Word as its written. I like that and it sounds good!
CH in Dutch is either a G or SH sound. Germany and Switzerland should be the best in it as they have similar sounds (Germanic language group) Sweden however should be able to say it as well as it's within the same language group. For our Dutch lady in the video, I'm guessing she's from the western part of the Netherlands, North or South Holland probably, perhaps Utrecht.
For American-English, yeah I was expecting her to fail as she isn't used to any other languages then her own. No shade on her, but it's the unfortunate truth. It makes things harder to pronounce.
Squirrel in Dutch is eekhoorn., not really similar to German.
Of course it is. Eek = Eich and hoorn = Hörnchen little horn
Eichhörnchen means little oak horn. -chen is the German diminutive.
Mehtap looks so cute
7:39 I'm Dutch, but I have no clue what Dutch word she's referring to here 🤔 We have "keukenkastje" (kitchen cupboard) but that sounds quite different to me, so I'd argue would help much in pronouncing "chuchichäschtli".
Chuchi -> Keuken. Chästli -> Kastje. Think about it. It’s quite similar.
@@goudendynamiethd2117 I get the similarities, but I specifically meant the way way she mentions how it's so similar as the Dutch word, right before her pronunciation attempt, which made it seem to me that knowing the Dutch word gave her more confidence in that attempt.
That being said, looking back at it now I can can see how hearing it might help, rather than just reading it, since some characters are different even though they sound the same (such as ch -> k), adding an extra layer of perceived difference.
Girl france look like rose from titanic
She is a good pick to represent French girls in general I think
Electroencefalografista is maybe long word, but not hard. I am Slovak and I would say this is not only Spanish word but also Slovak word. They are exactly the same. It is because many doctor specialists have international names.
The Swedish girl sings meteorologisch ❤ she nailed it, unlike the Dutchy 😂😮
She really proved the point I've been making since starting school .
dutch is so hard, that even we suck at it 😂😂😂😂😂😂
My favorite German word ,Schlittschuhlaufen.

Simplify Dutch more, make it logical by taking inspiration from Lojiban, it's very sad that native Dutch people don't master Dutch.

i feel like the correct pronunciation should be revealed at the end. saying it first just makes everyone copy the same thing. why is no one in the comments talking about this?
@@flz7056 I mean if one hears the phonetics of the word, it isn't hard to reciprocate it with minimal mistake. In the end everyone here is trying to get the pronunciation as close as to what the native speaker sounds like yeah? It is a natural human tendency in this particular case to try to get it right since they have heard how it actually sounds.
This video proves my comment, because at times some of the participants do say that they will be able to get the pronunciation right if they hear it multiple times from the native speaker.
@@flz7056 ah ok makes sense. Cheers
I am pretty sure the Dutch girl is called Karijn and not Karjin. Noticed this in another video as well.
Oh please, every German would pick the word "Streichholzschächtelchen" as the hardest. And a Chech always would win the game. Every time.
I just waited for "Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz" from germany
The hardest dutch word is “Huig”. For dutch people, it’s pronounceable, but nobody else can pronounce it.
You made me google it and try. According to google translator i pronounce it similar to the german "Hauch" except i change the "a" for and "ä" and the ending sound (like "ch" in german) needs to sound as if i'm trying to accumulate spit and cough slime from the back of my throat (while trying to vibrate my uvula to death) to spit it into the face of someone i really hate.
There once was a Dutch tennis player named Haarhuis. That one is hard to pronounce.
The Swiss Girl nailed Almost all words Respect on my opinion 🤙
True she Is real polyglot fact.
In Switzerland we learn 4 languages at school (oh well, in my region - Ticino)
We know that plus english 👍
Instead of "Mille-Feuille" (well done for spelling this word correctly because when talking about a thousand paper sheets you have to use the plural form "mille feuilles", yup another exception) a better choice would have been "Écureuil" because it contains the specific French "u" and "r". And "caoutchouc" (from the Spanish word "cauchuc" and originating from a Perivian language) isn't really hard to pronounce in most languages.
"Trakasserier" (declension of "trakasseri") comes from the French "tracas, tracasser, tracasserie".
11:00 is it meant to be hard for foreigneers or italians?
Most of these words weren't that hard tbh, There must be harder words from these languages
Before clicking on this video I knew the German girl would be choosing "Eichhörnchen". It's THE German shibboleth, followed by "Streichholzschächtelchen" (small matchbox).
German is dificult in regional and standard level
The hardest french words for strangers to pronounce are "anticonstitutionnellement" or "serrurerie".
In french, the most difficult word is "Anticonstitutionnellement" XD and that means it is against the constitution.
This channel is so wholesome. :'3
I wonder whether the Swiss girl is part Spanish, she had no accent and she also looks more like southern (dark hair and eyes). Most Swiss people look more like Germans, even people from southern Switzerland have lighter eye colours and hair.
Also Swiss German people learn German from Kindergarten onwards, therefore the pronunciation is not difficult for us. We speak German.
Also we learn either French or Italian as second foreign language (before English) therefore that’s also not a problem for us.
She is a Swiss of Turkish descent
everyone has an accent
@@user-zx1sx9bj5t Swiss decent? You mean Swabian? South west Germany is the real home of the Swabians.
@@De_UROWhat? You mean Alleman? Swiss German is Alleman. Like Swabian, Alsace and Baden as well. But Switzerland also has Celtic roots and Roman. Its a mixture, thats why we mostly have Brown hair and some of us are actually really Dark with many facial Hair. Blondes are a bit more rare than north of us.
@@Donknowww Sounds like Germany.
Since we have the squirrel, écureuil, Eichhörnchen here on YT, in Luxembourg it is called Kaweechelchen.
When the girl from the U.S says we don't have that sound in America ,she should say we don't have that sound in English.
Perhaps she’s not comfortable speaking for every variety of English on Earth. Plenty of varieties of English around the world have sounds that American English generally does not.

About Swedish. I love this language. It is very beautiful. The only thing about sjuksköterska. I am not a Swede, maybe it depends on the region, but when I was learning the language I heard how people pronounce it and in the end, it wasn't ska, it was shka.
yeah, it's definitely dependent on regional accent!
Up north in Sweden they pronounce it ..shka, so it depends on the dialect. But also, in general, I think the combination "..rs.." have a tendency to merge into a sh-sound when spoken quickly.
@@HenrikJansson78 Thanks for explanation. Even google translate pronounces it like shka.
@@ДиванныйМонстр-ъ8с But still, when it comes to "..rs.." transforming into a sh-sound when speaking fast, it's not a proper sh-sound. Us swedes definately still hear that it's "..rs.." and not a proper "sh". But for foreigners, I would not expect that they hear any difference. :)

🇻🇳 Some words hardest to pronounce in Vietnamese:
-Nguyễn /ŋwiən˧ˀ˥/ - a common surname for 40% of the Vietnamese population.
- Nguyệt /ŋwiət̚˧ˀ˩ʔ/ - moon
- Nguyện /ŋwiən˧ˀ˩ʔ/ - pledge, vow
- Khuya /xwiə˧˧/ - late at night. I have seen many Vietnamese people pronounce this word as “khuê” /xwe˧˧/
- Khuỷu /xwiw˧˩˧/ - elbow; bend. Some Vietnamese people pronounce it as “khỉu” /xwi˧˩˧/
- quặt quẹo /kwat̚˧ˀ˩ʔ kwɛw˧ˀ˩ʔ/ - frequent illness, emaciated and atrophied
- Ngặt nghẽo /ŋat̚˧ˀ˩ʔ ŋwew˧ˀ˥/ - laughing so much that whole the body tilted. Northerners often pronounce as “ngặt nghiẽo” /ŋat̚˧ˀ˩ʔ ŋwiew˧ˀ˥/ while Southerners cannot distinguish between the final "t" and "c" sounds and cannot pronounce the "ngã" tone.
- “Chuếnh” /ʨwəjŋ˧˥/ and “chệnh choạng” /ʨəjŋ˧ˀ˩ʔ ʨwaːŋ˧ˀ˩ʔ/ - Slightly dizzy like when drunk. These two words are not difficult to pronounce for Vietnamese people but will be difficult for foreigners. However, Vietnamese people often have difficulty spelling and writing correctly. Some Vietnamese people misspell these words as “chuyếnh” and “chuyệnh choạng”
Never knew Italians were that beautiful, she must be from the north.
