- I Tried Following YOUR Advice In Geoguessr Check out my other UA-cam channels below! @JackSucksAtLife @JackSucksAtStuff @JackMasseyWelsh @JackSucksAtClips @nocontext
on JackSucksAtGeography we upload a range of easy to watch & sometimes educational geography related content. I have successfully learned all 197 countries and flags of the world. I also look at interesting maps to teach us more about different parts of the world and their culture. On this channel I also play Geoguessr.

Anywhere wild and rural: exists
Jack: it must be the Faroe Islands
The Faroe Islands are actually quite like Scotland but with more Scandinavian/Icelandic terrain. The architecture consists of quite a colourful Swedish style as well.
Edit: it also has no trees
There is mostly like island whith barely any trees
As a Faroese person. I can confirm that the Trees are non-existent in the Faroe Islands.
@@hjHeBj i'm a faroese person as well from fuglafjørur
It also has no Italian words
DAS WAT IM SAYING
14:16 I love how Jack closed up on the sign but didn't even notice the Hungarian flag 😂
yeah hes special
Also, it's not an ice cream shop, it's a tobacco store, the only place you can buy cigarettes here. In some places you can also buy bus tickets there for some reason
I think he thought it was a design or something lol
He thought the tobbaco store was the ice cream shop 😭
@@monjarinafsheen9867 That's because those little flags are Wall's flags, who are a British manufacturer of ice cream that sell in a lot of European, Asian, and Oceanic countries. So clearly the store sold ice cream too at some point or another.
Jack: "It really does feel more european"
also Jack: *instantly zooms into south asia*
Aa
Aaaaaaaa
lol
17:54 It's called Winter, happens once a year in some places.
Very clearly romance language: exists
Jack: yeah, that's Finland
Me: *T R I G G E R E D*

@@petterlarsson7257 *s u o m i*
Me:hhhhhh not
I was thinking Italian or Romanian lol
Jack, some suggestions for Italy:
-95% of italian words end with vowels, differently from other romance languages
-The double blue license plates are italian (but they can also be French)
-If you see a lot of Fiat Panda (like you did on 17:19 ) it's certainly Italy (most common car)
-A lot of people also usually forget Italy isn't just sun and sea, there are a lot of mountains, so if you see an alpine looking place don't exclude Italy right away
First of all the trick for telling apart Italy from others is not the double blue REAR plates - France also has those. The thing that separates Italy from France is that the front plates, which also have a double blue, appear to be short in Italy as opposed to normal/long in France. Good to know because your statement isn't entirely correct.
Also the dog chasing the car was an Italian breed.
and i believe the word di is only italian
Nhl the Agritourismo really gave it away
I'm pretty sure double blue license plates can also be French or Albanian
in hungary, you literally missed the depiction of the hungarian flag on the store sign at the ice cream shop place
It wasnt a ice cream shop it was a tobacco shop😂
Same bro im Hungarian
I NOTICED THAT TOO
Here are some tips for Singapore:
1. The danger sign like in 7:43 as you can see it has four languages, because singapore has 4 languages those are Malay, English, Chinese and Indian (Tamil)
2. Some of the singaporean buses a have this sign saying “SG*love sign*BUS” if you can see SG stand for Singapore, so it’s quite easy to know that is Singapore
That’s all the tips I have thanks
Edit: also the singaporean buses plate numbers always starts from, SG, SMB, SBS, or TIB (no more using TIB) for now
HUMP on the road?
And the round green road posts
Indian is a race, next time just say tamil
@@cupcakegirl_1216ok
The bus stands the buses have sg
For future reference, Tonga is too tropical to look like that, that is just a Western suburb. And NZ has a sizable Tongan population with over 82,000. Plus your chances of actually seeing Tonga in one of these rounds is pretty slim (as in never, they don’t have official street view) when compared to NZ.
OMG KIM JONG UN IS BACK

“This is a very English looking motorway”
The cars were driving on the right hand side of the road and in England we drove on the left.
Me being really bad at geography seeing CLEARLY tons of Italian words in the last one is shocked that this didn't seem obvious to you 🤣 (And I'm not Italian either)
8:14 That Orange car is called a Ute, it’s a mix between a pickup truck and a car and they are usually seen in Australia
And NZ!!
😊
Yes, Utes = Aus, NZ, pacific islands (esp if Toyota) SEA.
*12:16* bro why did I die hearing this 💀
Jack: Reads Spanish like 3 times
Also Jack: It could be france
16:34 A good way to distinguish Spanish and Italian on signs or directions is to remember that the word DI (eg lacco di rosole) appears in Italian as a word meaning of, like the word de or del in Spanish. It will be much more common to see on Italian road signs etc.
Also Spanish has a special character, Ññ (pronounced enye) that isn't in the Italian alphabet.
Note: I'm not Spanish or Italian, but lived in Spain for 5+ years and can speak it enough to understand a conversation and reply with correct grammar.
Canada tips:Also some Canadian cities use the French language cities like Montreal
Antigua tips: if you’re put in Antigua you should probably look at the houses,if they are colored you might be start looking in Antigua.
If you see French fry beach 🏖️ you’re definitely in Antigua
12:07 Lots of coutries use STOP on stop signs even if they don't speak English so a stop sign often doesn't say much
Lmfao I recognised the highway on 4:35 and was so confused for a second. Very cool!
Me too! I was very confused after reading Malden and then realising I know the place

Hello! Serb here! Here are some tips for geogessr to know if you are in Serbia:
1. In Serbia, there are signs that have Cyrillic and latin together, for example: Нови Сад - Novi Sad
2. If you are in a city in Serbia, for example Zemun (Земун), you will definitely see some Orthodox churches.
3. In the capital, Belgrade (Београд), You will see some Serbian embassy's or those buildings
4. Serbia for short is RS as in Republic of Serbia
(English is not my first language so, i can't remember some words in English)
Here are some tips & tricks that I commonly use while playing:
There's a lot, but I promise they're helpful! I tried to keep it to facts that should help you narrow it down to one individual country
License plate tips:
- Bhutan has red plates
- Portugal has an additional yellow stripe on the right
- France's plates have a blue stripe on the right with a multicolored symbol on the top. If it looks only slightly blue on the right, it's probably French
- Belgian plates have red text. If you see a hint of blue it's probably Belgium
- Russian plates are white
- Some cars/vans/trucks in Norway will have a green plate
- Malaysia and Indonesia both have black plates. Indonesia can have three spaces in between the white text, and Malaysia two. It isn't super consistent though.
Signs:
- A simple one, but if the signs are on the left, you're likely in a country that drives on the left. Unless it's a no passing sign.
- Give way signs: In Australia the text is black, in NZ it's red
- Malaysian stop signs say Berhenti, Indonesian ones say Stop
Road lines:
- The US will always have a double striped line on non-residential roads
- Canada usually has a single yellow line, but you can sometimes see a double striped line too
- Norway has yellow lines
- Brazil has double striped yellow lines, similar to the US
- Most of South America will have a white middle line
Languages:
- If it's a Latin alphabet, it's always helpful to try to pronounce it if you can. It could give you a clue as to its origins
- Bengali's script usually looks pointier than Hindi
- Sri Lanka's scripts look circle-y
- Cambodian has a lot of circles
- Lao letters have a more defined/square shape
- Ukrainian uses more of ï and less of И
- Balkan Cyrllic uses Đ
- ł is an exclusively Polish letter
- Finnish has a lot of umlauts
- Estonian, Lithuanian, Latvian, and Hungarian are all accent-heavy languages
- Hungarian exclusively uses the double dashed umlaut type thing: ő
Misc tips:
- The farther east you go in Russia, the more "Asian" the cars begin to look. If you're in Vladivostok for example, the cars would look Japanese.
- In many African or Middle Eastern countries, it's not uncommon to have an "escort car" consistently behind the street view car
@Franklin D. Roosevelt innit
I'm from Norway and sometimes the lines aren't really yellow some places use white lines also in Norway the roads might have a lot of hills in them so they mostly aren't straight
Hungarian also exclusively uses ű. And it's called double acute accent or hungarumlaut.
General tip: hot countries will have white buildings (most of the time)
@@armansworld2190 Huh ur an norweagain. Im one too🙂 Also my car plate is white
13:30 Jack british accent at its peak.

“I would sit so hard right there”
My dirty mind has entered the chat
Hahaaha!
FYI:
Norway uses an EU-ish Licence plate, but with the norwegian flag instead of the EU one.
On small rural roads in norway, the markings are often dashed lines on the side
On larger roads the middle markings are yellow
Some streets don't have any markings at all (usally only in cities such as Oslo)
Yes, i am from Norway and can confirm this
As long as they are long dashed lines. If they are short, you're in Sweden.
jeg er norsk, du er dum
Yep true
Tips: say Canada when you see tall trees, and you don’t see any signs, if you see tall trees it could be Alaska. But most locations of Alaska have camps or signs
The Maine area has tall trees though. But close enough to Canada you will still get points.
“Say” Canada?
I dont know, Canada do have street signs
Washington and Oregon have pretty tall trees and have plenty of remote areas too…
I’ve also seen similar trees in Sweden it’s just somewhere up north
I love when you said Switzerland so funny😂😂 9:33
Tips for Europe
-Italy has blue strips on both sides of license plates, and the front plate is way shorter than the back plate.
-Those electricity poles with many holes in them, are mostly found in Hungary, Romania and Poland. Romania usually has the bottom of their poles painted in white, while Hungary’s poles are usually thicker than the ones in Poland or Romania.
-If you have a giant rift or a hole in the middle of the sky, you should be in either Montenegro or Albania. Albania uses a mixture of double blue strips (like the one in Italy) and one red strip on their license plates.
-Portugal has a yellow strip on the right side of their listened plates, and the eu blue strip on the left.
-The electricity poles that are shaped like the letter ‘A’ are mostly found in the Baltic countries
-Serbia and North Macedonia usually don’t have an antenna on the back of their car.

Anyway:
1 Faroe Islands barely has any trees, and it looks kinda like Scotland, also you will basically always see a body of water in the Faroe Islands
2 I almost had a heart attack when you mentioned Finland and Faroe Islands for the last round, anyway for future reference the world di, del or de are normal in Latin languages like Spanish French or Italian.
3 when the language has the letter w and l with the weird thing in the middle it is polish.
4 All the former Yugoslavian countries have yellow road signs
5 letters S z and ö are always common in Hungary and are a clear clue
6 Singapore has circular road signs with a green background and white text
7 Baltic countries look like the Nordic countries but have worse infrastructure and look poorer bcs they were a part of the Soviet Union. Estonian sounds a lot like finnish and uses lots of vowels and letters like u with the curvy thing on top. If you see the word iela somewhere it is always Latvia, because iela means street.
Uu
probably a coincidence, but in Portuguese we have the word "viela" (alley) which is a similar word and also synonymous with street.
WHY IS LITERALLY NO ONE TALKING ABOUT JACK GUESSING ENGLAND AT 4.34 WHERE THE CARS ARE DRIVING CLEARLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD...
My name starts with sz ...cause im hungary and I think ö and sz are not that common maybe like szia it means hi btw and more
A few tips with languages:
1. if you see this accent: ´ on anything except an e, youre not in france (they only put it on e's)
2. if you see an Ę / ę or Ą / ą and a lot of sz or accents on n, c, z (or a dot like ż) or s, youre probably in poland
3. if you see an Å / å youre probably in scandinavia and if there is also an ö or ä, youre in sweden
4. japanese uses chinese characters, but they also use katakana and hiragana, which look way simpler and hiragana has a lot of curves
5. in the cryllic alphabet, the letter ы isnt used in ukrainian, but the latin letter i is
6. thats what hebrew looks like: בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃
7. korean looks like very blocky, geometrical chinese
8. Ř / ř is mainly used in czech
9. if you see Å / å and Ø / ø, youre in norway or denmark
10. if you see german, but it looks very weird, youre in finland (lol)
11. ı (i without a dot) is mainly used in turkish
12. if you see something that resembles arabic, but is written vertically, youre in mongolia
13. if you see ö, ü or ä, youre probably in germany or estonia. if you also see õ, youre in estonia
I'll edit this if more comes to mind׃
HOW LONG DID THIS TAKE TO WRITE 😯
@@GLW176 like 15 minutes. not that long
Bru how? 😮🤔
Å and Ø also exists in the danish alphabet, but we also got the letter Æ that I don't think norwegian got
@@hiam3917 Oh yeah, i totally forgot about danish. But norwegian also has Æ
7:02 I'm a Singaporen myself and that sign, poster thing was a big hint as at least in my neighbour hood is quite common and small icons at the bottom right is also a big hint
.Also be on the look out for the blue recyclings bin because that also pinpoints Singapore, the bins can be large, on wheels with a sticker that says what can and can't be reycycled
Loving the geoguessr content! Hopefully there'll be more soon. Sometimes I rewatch the old geoguessr videos from when the channel was first made because they're so enjoyable
agreed, very enjoyable watching jack play geoguessr
Yeah i watch the older geoguessr videos too
Same! OMG all of his viewers are the same!
You did not have many tips about the middle east/north africa so here are some of mine!
There are only 3 countries that speak Arabic that will appear on Geoguessr frequently - Jordan, UAE, and Tunisia. Israel is also in the middle east, but they speak in Hebrew.
If you are in the UAE, it will frequently be near Dubai, so lots of modern things, etc. You will also usually find more English here.
If you are in Tunisia, it will typically seem quite deserty. Also all phone numbers in Tunisia will have only a 2 digit area code. Also a car that follows the google one.
If you are in Jordan, you might also find some English. Look for the yellow/green cars, they are really common there.
Hope this helps!
Edit - More from comments
Israel also has arabic scripture, but with Hebrew and english + Yellow plates
In Tunisia they have a follow car for safety
In the UAE the google car is white
There will also likely be some French in Tunisia. Or rather, if you see French in an otherwise Arabic-speaking country, it's probably Tunisia.
Tips for hungary!
Since you missed the "ice cream shop" that is actually a cigarette boutiqe, every single one has the hungarian flag on its logo below the 18.
Very weird looking latin *wovels* with dots and lines above it are usually hungarian but if theyre *syllables* theyre most definietly are polish or other slavic languages.
When in the rural area, a lot of houses can be pretty nice eith a cute garden and fence around it, but also the diversity shows collapsed buildings sometimes.
When in a more populated area, try to look for as many flags as you can, you will definietly find a hungarian one in a few minutes because we jjst love our flag.
Hope this helps🤍
As a Singaporean, I immediately recognised my country and here are a few tips:
1. At 7:03 while you were looking at the banner, you can see in the corner a few logos. The first one is Temasek foundation, Temasek is what Singapore used to be called the rest of the logos also represent foundations in Singapore
2. When theres a sign with 4 different languages, normally English Chinese Malay and Indian, you can automatically assume its Singapore as these are the four most common languages here.
3. On the road, you can see a few green buses. On the side they literally have the words “Sg*heart*Bus”.
4. If you see high rise building with void decks below, those are most likely HDB flats, the most common housing in Singapore.
7:40 For Singapore, they have 4 official languages usually displayed in this order; English, Chinese, Tamil, and Malay. So that sign was a very good indication that we're in Singapore. Also, there was the Singapore MRT logo (which is the subway system) there as well.
You should definitely learn more about different languages, I feel that for most Europeans knowing a bit of other languages is common knowledge. For example, all of the signs in the last round were screaming Italian to me.
UK has one of the highest populations of people who only speak one language
@@opheliamillward There is a difference between speaking and recognising languages. I am a Bulgarian and I know only Bulgarian and English kind of, but I recognise almost all languages with some small exceptions. It's really important for GeoGuessr and not only for it.
@@mxrt0 true!! I do struggle with european languages despite being welsh myself, i can easily recognise polish but i struggle with scandinavia and slovakia and hungarian
@@opheliamillward I struggle with Some of the slavic languages ironically, like telling apart czech from slovak or even slovenian sometimes, or croatian
Yeah same
As a bulgarian if you are in plovdiv its a city in bulgaria u can see post in the center its a big building in white,if you are in Sofia the capital u can see the national palace if culture its a big building a lot of the area of the building is covered in black and it has some white
the thing with belgium is thta we speak dutch and french and in the north-east even german. some other countires speak multiple languages in parts of their country too. also, knowing a lot of languages can help finding a countrie. greek and latin are inflated in a bunch of languages so if you see "itinerario" it is a roman language because "iter" is latin for "way". this means it is in italy or spain or something
4:35 It could never have been England, because they drive on the right side of the road. Never forget to check which side of the road they drive on, because that way you can almost always immediately exclude a bunch of countries.
Exactly! That’s what I was thinking! 😄 Anyway, aloha from Honolulu! 😄🤙🏽

"I think we're in England"
This is the one road in England where they drive on the RIGHT side of the road
Jack! I love in Switzerland, and when I saw that sign, I realized I lived 5 minutes away from where JackSucksAtLife played geoguesser 😅. Every time you see a hill with a wire fence, yellow signs with öüä those kind of letters and a wooden bench looking out into a valley, that Switzerland. Thank you, father.
10:07 the words of a legend "oh me batteries ran out
Maybe it helps a bit to recognize italian language: most italian words end in a vowel. 17:06 "Del" is one of the exceptions because it's an preposition which was connected, normally "del" would be two words. The two words would be "di" and "il" if somebody wants to know it
Grazie per l’informazione
I am from Switzerland and those yellow hiking signs are very common, so look out for them next time in Geoguesser.
Love your videos
Switzerland and germany can also be easy to spot by the Blury circle when you look straight down. Switzerlands camera will be closer to the floor than the other countries too. Germany doesnt have alot of road coverage so more often than not you'll be in a city, alot of randomly blurred buildings is another germany giveaway (germany isnt the only country that has this but it will have more than others). Obviously combine this information with other things like languages just to be safe
Lots of great tips! Lovely to see more Geoguessr content! ^^
What 1 month and no replies? Let me fix it

A little tip, shops in Spanish generally have a similar name to what they sell with an occasional reference to english, for example Farmacia - which is like farmacy
5:35 stork's are also on lamp posts in Romania, and other rural countries
“Look what I’ve got”
*(sees me)*
“A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one”
Never thought I’d be in one, but thanks for the belated birthday gift, Jack! So regarding that Singapore guess, I knew immediately it was Singapore just by looking at the architecture. It’s European style mixed with tropical vibes. So I’d guess Singapore in Battle Royale: Countries without further looking, because when you’re playing Battle Royale: Countries like I do and especially during the final round, that part of the time where you can lock your answer is crucial.
Also, the font of those street signs are distinctly Singaporean. If you ever see that font, it is Singapore.
Im from Malaysia but I thought of Malaysia too at first when I saw the malay texts
The dead giveaway to me that it was Singapore was the black and white curb stripes.
@@erindizmo Yeah but Jack will never know cause he sucks
out of everything, it was the license plates for me 😂😂😂
One simple trick to recognizing Hungarian: It's the only language that uses the letter ő - that is an o with two accents (not to be confused with ö, an o with umlaut). It's a very common letter in Hungarian as well, so it's a rule that has a lot of use!
I use a bunch of little tricks to distinguish between similar languages, but at the level of "this one has long words" I don't think they'd be very helpful lol. But maybe one you might find useful is that Finnish and Estonian use a lot of double vowels - if you see a long word with "uu" and "ii" in it, you're probably in one of those two.
Also, crappy roads and gibberish sounding language is great for finding hungary too

Another tip regarding the storks:
Portugal has a lot of storks on lamp post as well. There are sometimes roads where every lamppost has a stork nest on it
[sections enclosed in square brackets are additions to the original comment]
Whenever it is cloudy:
‘Are we in Sweden/Finland/Norway/Denmark?’
No, Jack! You don’t know what Nordic countries look like at all! Please have a look at what Nordic houses and terrain looks like, because it is very distinctive, and easy to notice.
That Italian round was particularly bad, because you didn’t realise that it was winter at all. There [are] trees with no leaves on them! Believe it or not, Italy gets cold in the winter! The -io and -o suffixes are also very Italian. The à/á is very common in places like Hungary, I think.
‘los’, ‘de la’ is always Spanish, ‘das’/‘da’ is Portuguese.
Also, Romanian is a Romance language, and is similar to Italian, so don’t let yourself be caught out by that. The EU number plates help to distinguish between countries like Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia, from countries like Russia and Ukraine. Quite often, when there are no signs, the landscape is the most important thing to pay attention to. I can generally distinguish between Nordic, Western European, Mediterranean, Eastern Ukrainian/Western Russian, North American, South American, MENA, and African terrain, which helps a lot.
It’s a good idea for you to familiarise yourself with these different climates, and also to recognise that the weather is not so important. Just because the area is cloudy, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is somewhere away from the poles. I often see countries like Kenya being cloudy/rainy (the name of the country will often be on churches, too, for Kenya), for example.
as an Italian I can give you some advices
1) most of the words ends with a vowel
2) don't exclude Italy when you see mountains because in the north there are the alps
3) the REAR plates have the 2 blue things on both sides, but only the rear one
4) pay attention to words like 'via ' (example : via Annia)
5) 'San' it is used to indicate a church or some religious place, so if you see something like (example) 'basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano) it's Italy
(btw all the examples I made I got them from Google maps so it's possible that you can easily find them on the map💀)

13:56 In the lower half of Belgium they speak French, that's why there are hints of it. Not because it borders France. Also if something is written in Dutch and French chances are big it's Belgium since those are the two dominant languages in Belgium.
I was about to comment this too. Also, the "crossing out of the town" signs (13:22) are also commonly used in Belgium.
Tips for the Middle East:
-for the middle of highways: striped with black and yellow.
-if the store names written in French English and Arabic there is a high chance it will be Lebanon
i have a few french tips:
we also cross the signs for the end of the town
we use accents:the accute, (é) the grave accent (è) and the circumflex (^ it looks like that on the vowels)
we use a cedilla (ç)
and some times also use the trema ( it is most commen on ï but can also go on top of "e" and "u"

You littelary missed the Hungarian flag at the ice cream place below the 18,also I'm in Hungary on a trip right now so I could instantly recognise the language! Love from Budapest!
P.S Hungarian tip, Hungary loves its flag, you can't go 100 meters here in Budapest without seeing one, also there are a lot of other flags in Hungary, so if you see a lot of groups of flags, watch out if there's a Hungarian one! Great video as always!

someone please teach jack how to pronounce “cyrillic” i’m dying 💀
(also long comment ahead, you have been warned)
speaking of which, i’ve been learning ukrainian for about 3 months, so here is a quick lesson on the ukrainian alphabet, which does differ slightly to other cyrillic languages:
- quite a few characters in the cyrillic alphabet look the same as latin characters, eg: Аа Вв Сс Ее Нн Іі Кк Мм Оо Рр Уу Хх
- typically if signs do have latin text they’re underneath the cyrillic, not right next to it
- ukrainian and russian are slightly different. for example ъ doesn’t exist in ukrainian
- another slight difference is that in ukrainian є is a character, whereas in russian it’s э
and just for fun, since things in the cyrillic alphabet are pronounced phonetically and it might be fun to see jack try to pronounce things, here is the ukrainian alphabet:
Аа - like ‘a’ in cat
Бб - like ‘b’ in bus
Вв - like ‘v’ in very
Гг - like ‘h’ in hot (but with more energy if that makes sense???)

Sigh (g)rill (s)ick
i have been learning ukrainian aswell for 2-3 months!
@@Aaden.mp4 sigh realic
@@dominant5307 i wonder why
@@ViveXR for fun
Quick Tip: Australia have very similar rules to the uk (car wise) so if your unsure where your at Australia have
- Drive on the left
- Right hand drive cars
- Similar number plates to American vehicles
Jack: lives in England, a famously left-hand drive country
Jack: sees motorway where cars are driving on the right
Jack: this looks like England
4:31 As someone from NZ, I can assure there are many Tongan people living here - I've counted 20 on my street alone.
Tips - Finland
- On the West side of Finland there Is Swedish and Finnish Languages, In Åland(Part of Finland) Mostly Swedish
-signs are not always long.
- city names for example (Helsinki,Turku,KemiJärvi,Kouvola,Oulu)
Keep a eye out for ( -Järvi) It will most likely be Finland
Bpost is always belgian. Belgium has 3 official languages, German Dutch and French, so if you see any of those languages, you could be in Belgium
As a Belgian, I can confirm that BPost is in fact Belgian, but sometimes a package that you ordered can be delivered by PostNL.
Right languages wrong order.
as an Aussie, very proud of you Jack! 😂❤
the fact he almost confused switzerland with the faeroer islands is just hilarious
Tip for the Faroe islands, you will almost always be able to see the ocean and mountains and their aren't a lot of trees and even though we are a part of Denmark we are not in the EU
...So you're a colony lol.
yeah… :(
@@blondesocialist6498 Do you wish to be a part of Denmark or be independent?
Independent, I don’t want us to keep being under imperialist rule
16:34 Jack whenever you find "Di" in a sentence, it is mostly italian
It means "Of"
14:16 in the ice cream shop, a sign board says 'nemzeti dohanybolt' with the HUNGARIAN FLAG!
6:43 Singapore is a place that has a lot of landed houses in one area and the rest,filled with apartment buildings we call "HDB" Singapore is also very similar to Malaysia because it used to be part of it, so seeing Malay words for places in Singapore is common,just that there won't be any arabic and mainly Chinese. Another revealing factor is that if a sign has 4 languages, Chinese, English, Malay and Tamil,then you are definitely in Singapore Hope this comment helps!
Tip: Your best guesses with blurry photos are the US or Australia
Another tip is that some vechile brands are only available in certain countrys so use that to your advantage
Licence plates in the US give good hints towards the state you are in.
Blurry may also be Germany.
@@jlpack62 I think what he was saying is that US/Australia have blurry photos as if they are of poor quality ( gen 1 ) . Germany is blurry in terms of a lot of the locations in Germany have a lot of blurs as if they are censored. Hope this clears things out!
Such as Holden.
@@jlpack62 whenever I see lots of blurry things, I pre-click on germany 😂
@@BinkBricks he spotted the falcon in this video, wasa dead giveaway for me
Some middle east tips:
1) In Israel/Syria/Lebanon, you can find a flag that looks similar to the pride flag of the Druze community in the north region.
2) In most cities there Street market called a bazaar and its very common to find one.
3) All of the Arabic-speaking countries are in the Northern Hemisphere.
4) Tajik is Persian written in the Cyrillic script.
5) The is NOT a lot of street view in the middle east.
Learning phone country codes and area codes would help a lot, there were quite a few phone numbers before web domains
9:38 I had the feeling that that is Switzerland all along lol
Idk why but it really looked Swiss to me
fun fact: I learned all 197 flags and countries all with Jack’s help. If you didn’t create this channel and do these videos, I wouldn’t do so well in geography. Before Jack, I literally had a C- in geography, but now I have an A+, which meansI have at least an A in every class! Thank you so much, Jack. I couldn’t have done it without you.
Wow same
For Finland:
Most signs for different cities and towns are in two languages, Finnish first and then Swedish.
“What are they selling in that ice cream shop?”
-Jack 2022
You have a really good streak of one! Lol😂
Some tips for hungary:
- The letters "ő" and "ű" (not to be confused with "ö" and "ü") are only found in the hungarian language
- Storks on lampposts are also common here
- the "Sz" is common, you had a good lead there
- Tobacco stores are all over the place, which is what the "ice cream shop" was
- The license plates have a thicc blue band, as you found out
Jacks next learning series should be 'Learning how to get good at Geoguesser'
JACK I always go on holiday here in east wittering and it’s so amazing to be there and that it’s on UA-cam
4:37 jack: sees cars driving on the right
Also jack: I think it’s England
For future reference
In Singapore we have warning message at construction side in all 4 major language (English, Chinese, Malay, Tamil) eg 7:40. And alot of places will have sign in english and chinese together
I'll fly an Indonesian flag outside my house in the Philippines to recreate the Tonga incident
Better use one of Cambodia, since they are basically the only other south-east-asian country that drives on the right and has coverage. Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand all drive on the left.
Ha
@@diebuettel5846 An Indonesian flag works. Monaco drives on the right.
Jack : It looks Italian
Also Jack : I would had never guess Italy!
One thing italy (and spain) tend to have is metal bars in the windows its not garunteed if you see them but it's a good indicator that your in one of the two
