I'm Greek, and I can indeed testify to the superiority of his Greek knowledge over mine, he spoke it so unbelievably fluently and with such finesse that I could barely understand a word. Simply put, I am in awe of such immense skill
54:37 you are Greek and love exaggerating a lot. He sounds like a Lithuanian saying something like “Mano vardas …” superiority … unbelievably fluently with finesses ? 🙄🙄🤡
53:40 let's all thank the Greek language for giving us the following amazing words: giga (as in gigachad), alpha and beta (as in alpha male and beta male) and finally polyglot. 🇬🇷
Kaufmann's blessings to you all. Kaufmann forgive me, but I was unable to watch this live. Over two straight hours of pure chaddery, and what's more, a hyperpolyglot gigachad alphmale lullaby to help put me to sleep right at the end. Perfection.
Why would someone hate any language? Many people see the middle East as place fulfilled with religion fanatics and stuff and end up fearing arabs. There is nothing to do with the language itself, which is pretty but hard to learn.
Its to do with the general negative perception of the middle eastern countries, nobody can hate a form of communication. I think its more so just a dislike for Islam, and other radicals. I'm sure Arabs or Asians don't hate the English language, they just hate western culture, beliefs etc.
People hate the Islam expansion. No one like that. Islamic culture should stay in where it is. Just like China Culture should stay in China. I love Persian Prince, Alibaba, Aladin, Sinbad, 1001 Night Tale,....etc. But I think they should stay to me visit, not come to me. I don't want to come to Baghdad and see full of Chinese temple, people. Same as come to Japan and see full of Islamic Culture.
Im so glad that Bulgarian was included here, Bulgarian doesnt get noticed alot, when i tell people that im Bulgarian they sometimes think its a made up language and when i speak it they think its russian
I’m Iranian, it’s awesome that you’re considering learning Persian(Farsi)! that’s very nice of you :D I’m really looking forward to see if it’s gonna be challenging for or not, so excited to see the progress in the future :)
@@mint7442 hmm.. sorry to hear that bro but pretty sure there are many sources out there..have you tried maybe taking courses or lessons?.. Or like there are also language learning apps like “Drops” which you could try as well since it does include Persian (Farsi).
@@aeriajavdani5676 yeah I just don't have time or money to commit to a proper course or lesson right now I'll try out that drops app tho thanks for the suggestion!
@@mint7442 it has been a few months, but I was learning Persian and I love this channel for a good range of videos with english and Persian subtitles www.youtube.com/@PersianLearning
I loved that! Anyone know the name of the song? Edit: looool I looked it up and it's that cringe song, Friday by Rebecca Black. But he makes it sound so melodious and worth listening to!
Omg I'm so glad that you don't have a negative mindset about Iranians!! The fact that you're willing to learn Farsi despite all the bad representations of Iran and Iranians in social media seriously makes me happy . Can't wait to hear you speak Farsi in your videos!! That would be THE COOLEST THING EVER 🇮🇷❤
The funny thing is that danish is the hardest scandianvian language for most scandinavian people to understand because the phonology and accents are so different compared to Swedish and Norwegian, so if you have chosen to learn Danish you're gonna have a hard time in both Norway and Sweden unless you write everything down. The best scandiavian language to learn is norwegian nynorsk, because you can be understood by both swedish and danish people for the most part, but you can also get a good understanding of norwegian dialects because nynorsk is a standardized version of most norwegian dialects, and also because it is somewhat a continuation of middle norwegian you will also get a somewhat understanding of faroese and icelandic aswell... atleast in writing. Bokmål can be good if you plan to only visit Oslo or eastern Norway, and it is good for communicating with Danish people.
I'm basque and I loved seeing the ikurriña ( the basque flag) you have to listen to it because it is a very special and beautiful language. Not meny people speak it but i'm very proud of the basque country (its not a country its just a provincia)
birthplace to franco the nashi sympathizer , who ruled spain as a dictator for 3 generatins and forced all the regions to speak Castiian when there were different langauges like catalan and basque.
Provincia?? You should check where the name Country comes from. It actually comes from the French Pays. The Basque Country is a nation with no state divided in Spain and France, so it's much more than a Provincia
I'm a Pakistani! I'm learning Persian because of the cultural links between Pakistan and Iran. By the way, Urdu is written in the Persian Nastaliq script. It is also not just Hindi written differently x) There are a LOT of vocabulary differences, accent differences, and idioms/sayings exclusive to Urdu. It's different in speech as well, and as a native Urdu speaker I can easily tell if someone is speaking Urdu or Hindi. Urdu has more Persian and Arabic-based words with a bit of Turkish sprinkled in, while Hindi is more Sanskrit-based.
@@arjunghanekar6140 Ziyaada tar samajh aa jata hai magar Hindi ke apne alfaaz aur mahaavrat mujhe nahin aate. Lekin baaton ki had tak theek rehta hai. Baat to mai Hindi bolne wale se kar sakta hun. Aap ki to samajh aa rahi hai
Exactly its not just hindi with different script lol its a very different language. Also hindi came after Urdu so hindi is basically Urdu with sanskrit words replaced with persian and arabic words
Urdu speakers say it's not Hindi written differently or with some added Arabic words. Meanwhile most speakers of two languages can understand each other more or less.
Turkish and azerbaijani are basically the same language. As a native turkish speaker i can understand azerbaijani easier than some of the accents of turkish within the country
@@meylishydyrov4382 no. Its all due to the politics that people people think the Azerbaijani and Turkish are linguistically different. People consider bavarian a dialect of german when as a german speaker i simply cant understand bavarian or swiss german. Azerbaijani is linguistically turkish regardless of what you say. Trying to seperate azeris from us was a soviet propaganda that doesnt have any impact left.
@@jjj-qj8lu one question: do you understand azeri language on the same level you do understand turkish? Simple question and i appreciate simple answer. Thank you
@@meylishydyrov4382 I can easily communicate with them. That doesnt mean however i am going to understand it as well as standart turkish since i consider Azeri as a dialect of turkish.
@@trikebeatstrexnodiff ok. Let me ask otherwise. I work in the company. I have turkish and azerbaijani colleagues. Strange thing but they do speak to each other in English. If you say turks understand azeri and if it is easy so how it is possible they speak English? Meanwhile tajiks speak Farsi when they communicate with Iranians. Same thing with Serbs communicating with Croats. But why turks speak English to Azeris?
1:40:30 Vietnamese is somewhat in the middle of between easy and hard, but i think it's simple to understand, but the alphabet and some word combinations would be a challenge, im native so idk, good luck on your way to learn all the languages. P/S: also the tone and pronunciation is just kinda hard for english speaker
When simp talks about basque “es como el español” Average Basque man: turns your car into a rocket. You turn the engine on and you meet Carrero Blanco on the moon.
@@fiyahxr3250it's quite the opposite imo. We officially don't have any cases, only some left forms. Yes, if your native language uses the Latin script or any other you would probably have a harder or easier time learning the Cyrillic one, it depends on how fast can you grasp the concept and the basics. There are many other things that you can search on the net about our language.
Persian is Really Easy but at the same time beautiful and pure language. the Grammar is easy just a little different in the order of different type of words. Also, Idk if you have the time but I strongly suggest the older version of Persian which is just so freaking cool and mostly used in poems, it's known as the Language of Love!
Also there was a Really Important person in the Iran's History Called Ferdowsi who literally spent 30 Years to save the Persian Language from getting replaced by Aarabic, and wrote a Long Legendary and Deep meaning (which literlly needs a bunch of people to analyze some parts) Story all in Poem! Consisting of some 50,000 "distichs" or couplets (two-line verses) and in beautiful Rhythms that gives you goose bumps when you're reading it
I speak serbian and slovenian, and believe me serbian is quite useful when you have to cuss someone out in the most agressive way, so you should consider learning it.
Yeah you're right about Urdu. If you already know the arabic alphabet then you'll have a easier time learning it. However Urdu does have some extra letters and some letters have a slightly different pronunciation. But yeah Urdu will be easier to learn if you know Arabic.
Urdu and Hindi are same grammar wise on the base level but as you in depth both languages start taking very different paths. Urdu is heavily persian and arabic with turkish words whereas Hindi is strictly sanskrit. Also Urdu is known for its beautiful poetry and is the language of poets so poetry is also a cooler fact of Urdu hence why india uses Urdu for in its Bollywood but for some weird reason calls it hindi
@@hodam9687 what is urdu..... Adding some words in hindi And calling this urdu is like Calling english is American English also have many French and German words and Latin aslo Chaap tilak sabh chini written by amir khusro in pure khadi boli hindvi Mughal added some persian words Because they can't pronounce some hindi word and for poetry they need some new words they modified many Arabic and farsi words Your urdu script is aslo not yours Everything stolen from different countries ..... Grammer is also hindi 80% words in urdu is from sanskrit Mother of many language
@@shirokun4742 lol Its completely the opposite Hindi is a sanskrit copy paste of Urdu with different script. You forgot the Urdu-Hindi controversy when jealous cow lindus didn’t accept Urdu to be official language of british subcontinent? Your lindu ancestors literally in jealousy copy pasted urdu and removed all arabic and persian words with sanskrit words and changed the script and called it hindi lmao. Urdu is a 12th century language and hindi is a sanskrit copy paste of Urdu made in 19th century by jealous lindu nationalists. Urdu is the real and much older language.
I'm a Georgian and I can confirm that Georgina is a really cool language, but it's really hard. The pronunciations are hard for native English speakers because the letter make weird noises and stuff. Even I don't know it very well and I've been speaking it for my entire life
@@Coteoki Don't give up tho. It's only several letters. Everything else is super simple except for some grammar stuff. You will get a hang of it in no time 🙏
I’m currently dabbling in Georgian a bit, and it’s really cool. One of my favourite words is კარტოფილი. Once I get to a higher level in French and Norwegian, I will start investing more time into Georgian, and I’m excited for that.
Turk here, while it would certainly be great for you to learn it, it *would* be kind of tough. Its roots are asian, though, like the sentence order is structured the same exact way as Japanese (a big factor into why western people struggle with it), but if you had some level of those then Turkish would become infinitely easier.
@@yusufackgoz8009 Japanese is the only one I studied and I was told it had lots in common with Chinese, hence why I mentioned it alongside it- seems I was wrong, thanks for the heads up! Japanese and Turkish do have strikingly similar structures though. Lesson learned not to assume things next time. 😅
22:30 Yep Farsi is pretty cool because of the extensive history that it has going for it. The literature is what makes this language amazing and if you could learn old persian, you could read one of the most amazing books in the world "shahnameh" which took "ferdosi" 30 years to write and it is the reason that persian still exists today. It is sad to see parsi getting overshadowed by arabic because of the alphabet and I'm happy to see someone is bringing a glimpse of light to this amazing language.
Agree! It's such a cool language! I'm focusing on Arabic right now (to chat with family) but as a child I was fascinating by Farsi literature! Its history too, of course! I'm a (quasi) French native, do you think pronounciation is hard ?
@@Wazkaty I don't really know how farsi sounds to French natives but as French sounds foreign to my ears, farsi is probably like that for you too. But you knowing Arabic letters will help you. remember though, farsi and Arabic don't stem from the same root. But that being said if you have learnt Arabic you can learn any other language in my opinion 😉. Good luck on your learning journey. امیدوارم موفق باشی.
I felt so happy when I saw the Basque flag (called Ikurriña). It's a language spoken at the Basque country, north of Spain (not an actual country. País Vasco in Spanish), and a bit at the southwest part of France. Afaik it's unknown where it comes from. I like it, had to learn it when I was little but I barely remember it now. Etxea, elisa, bat, bi, iru, lau, eskerrik asko, kaixo.
Tbh as an Albanian we from Kosova have problem communicating with Albanians of Albania because of the dialects but we do understand each other just some random words are so different
I am ashamed how little i know about Bulgaria - and that the little bits I've heard are mostly from other Southern Slavs. They joke that Bulgarians are grumpy and unfriendly. I'm sure it's not really true but it's a weird funny stereotype
what you said for Korean: 무궁화 꽃이 피었습니다 (mu-goong hwa kkotchi pi-uht seub-ni-da) means "the hibiscus flower has bloomed/blossomed" So technically (I'm assuming you've watched Squid Game) the English translation of "Red Light Green Light" isn't too accurate. Side fun fact: the Hibiscus flower is the national flower of Korea
"Deutschland, Deutschland über alles" is no longer sung as the national anthem. The German nation anthem starts with the 3rd verse: which goes like this: "Einigkeit und Recht und Freiheit"
1:19:10 как русский могу сказать что я был удивлен. Только под конец я начал подозревать что ты не носитель русского. Прям ну очень хорошо получается. Наверное из всех ютуберов-полиглотов ты говоришь на русском лучше всех, и почти без акцента.
Afrikaans guy here. Dutch and afrikaans are extremely similar. If a guy speaks dutch to me, I can mostly understand him. The spelling of words in dutch are readable for me but they look like Misspelled afrikaans words sometimes.
much love from iran! happy to know you want to learn farsi! some cool things i can point out is the pronouns and their endings have no gender, the word order is SOV usually just like latin but can be *any* order because it shows the object of the sentence by putting a ”را” after the object word, and because of these traits and some more stuff persian poetry goes extremely hard🤙
Wowwww, I am balochi from bahrain 🇧🇭 I love Farsi so much! I would learn but there are no Persian teachers here so maybe when I’m older I’ll visit Iran and somehow learn there
Some of these languages, if you'd learn them, learning the other one would be very easy. Like Turkish and Azerbaijani are very similar. Dutch and South African are also very similar. I'm sure there are many more like this though.
1:37:19 'Krub' (ครับ) is a formal word usually put at the end of the sentence and used when talking to strangers, older people, or in formal event etc; . Krub is mostly used by boys while 'Ka' is mostly used by girls/lgtbq people. 'Ka' (คะ/ค่ะ) has 2 version 1. Ka but in higher pitch (คะ) is used when asking questions 2. Ka but in lower pitch (ค่ะ) is used when talking but dont worry lol, a lot of thais still get confused when to used Ka ( Im one of them lmao) and any gender can used ka or krub we usually dont care who use it srry for long paragraph ,also great vids! :D
1:40:22 I hear you say “toi den tu My” fucking hilarious, Vietnamese is a tonal language and these tones are harder than you think, I will wait to the day you can speak “Tôi đến từ Mỹ” in a perfect voice full of tones without stumbling.
Sorry, but is it difficult to spell out ALL of that in the *American* alphabet? Why not have your own writing system, like many others languages around? I'd imagine people would want to get rid of this unnecissarily complex alphabet
Thai speaker here, males say "khrap" at the end of the words to be polite and when answering a question in the affirmative (something like "si" in French). Females say "kha".
O teu português é muito bom Acho incrível quando um estrangeiro se dá ao trabalho de aprender . Tens um bom sotaque 👍👍 força language simp 👍👍 Sei que já sabes mas és o melhor
Some may think that *Farsi* (Persian) is hard cause it uses Arabic alphabet with even 4 more letter . But the truth is it's actually pretty easier for example in both alphabets there are 4 types of *Z* sounds (ز ذ ض ظ) and in Arabic each of them have a different pronunciation that if pronounced wrongly can changed the meaning of the word But in Persian they are all pronounced the same and it's not only for the *Z* sound eather In both alphabets there are : 3 types of *S* (س ص ث) 2 types of *H* (ح ه) 2 types of *Á* (اَ ع) 2 types of *T* (ت ط) 2 types of the sound *Gh* that most English speakers can't even pronounce (غ ق) You can all see the point now If you've been reading this till the end. Btw if you learn Farsi well you can be able to speak to Tajik and Afghan people too cause their languages (Tajiki . Dari) are very similar to Farsi
I know a bit of Arabic, and want to learn Farsi one day, it's very interesting ! It will be much easier to "read correctly" than Arabic for me! It encourages me to learn this language
Dear Americans and all people who thinks that Persian or farsi is using Arabic script completely wrong Persian is very very older than Arabic ans have more original words than Arabic it's persian script Pahlavi that into today iraq was part of Persia Iran and Arabic language born from Pahlavc Kufic script persian language just advanced itself in history ans modern Persian is more complete than today Arabic that using like beta script of persian language
You got that “R” rolling with your “apa kabar” 👍 Good choice with Indonesian (Bahasa Indonesia). Unfortunately with Malaysian (Bahasa Malaysia), even non-Malay Malaysians themselves are not fluent in the language, so effectively you’d only be communicating with 60% of the country.
Damn man Azerbaijani so cool for me. They use both latin and cyrillic alphabet. Also, language is sounds like accented Turkish with a little Russian and Persian vocabulary. At least, i would put it "would be good" category like Turkish.
Ton français est grave bon ! Tu utilises super bien l'argot (les "expressions familières" plutôt), c'est surtout l'esprit français que tu as compris! Les vieux français ne doivent pas te comprendre hahaha Mais c'est génial t'as un niveau de fou, et quand tu te fous de la gueule des gens avec ironie, c'est une belle démonstration ! Oui tu parles très bien français, je suis français et je veux aussi être hyperpolyglotte gigachad hahaha
17:56 it's totally a good take, but the only thing I didn't like as a bulgarian were the words "Bulgarian is like russian" actually russian is like bulgarian because the bulgarians created the cyrillic alphabet, and so I think that the bulgarian language came first, but just Russia is more famous, but yeah totally a good take and if you start learning the language reading is especially easy, cause what you see is what you read, like it's not like other languages like french where you analyze the whole word just to know how to pronounce the fucking e, in bulgarian you see that letter, and the way you say it in the alphabet is the way you read it, except й and ь but they're easy to understand and learn
Kudos to you for being open to learning Czech and knowing basic greetings! I'd say it's harder than Slovakian, since our words are not as similar to other languages and include the infamous Ř letter, so.. nice 👍(it'd be even cooler if you learned the Moravian dialect, it's basically a mix of Czech and Slovak)
@@Aethelhadas Cantonese and Vietnamese is quite similar in vocabulary and pronunciation. You can search "Vietnamese vs Cantonese" for that. Guangdong was a part of Nanyue kingdom, but "Chinese happened" so the rest is history now. Nanyue is literally "Nam Viet", the ancient name of Vietnam. That is why Cantonese and Vietnamese are similar. Cantonese is shifted toward Chinese accent over time though.

Greetings from Slovakia It's wird how often people confuse Slovakia with Slovenia or call me dumb sometimes because they think that czechoslovakia is still united. Which is somewhat fine, at least I got used to it but the most often it's confused with Slovenia to the point that our government meets up with theirs government and we sort through the mail that got sent the wrong way. Also some language things: Slovak grammar is f...cked because we've got something called "Vybrané slová" (Selected words as a direct translation) which are words specifictly selected to have y instead if i for some reason. We have the same nominativ dativ ect. thing but the catch is that depending on these things we put y or i on the end. And its a mess. The whole slovak grammar is trying to figure out if you have to put i or y in there, and it's not fun. Also I dunno the full similarity with czech but It's quite simillar. Because as most slovak children I watched czech stations so I'm able to understand and speak czech very very well. I heared that in czechia they have everithing translated and that younger czech people do not understand slovak but who knows. If you are not fluent in a slavic language, don't try this. You will get a heart attack and s stroke the second you look at all the rules next to each other. Now that I finished my 10 meter long paragraph I wish you fun learning.
so glad you're deciding to learn urdu! personally, im from the northern side so i speak pashto although im pakistani. my urdu is in the dogs 😭😭 also, id love to see if you ever learn pashto, its spoken in afghanistan and pakistan (some areas), and is basically a mix of urdu, hindi, persian, and arabic !
Part of my family is from Spain, but I thought all of my relatives from there had passed. Turns out I have close cousins who live in the Northern region, and I got really excited to speak Spanish with them, only to find out they speak basque :( Not a bad language, I just don’t know it, lol
I've listened to a few Danes on YT, there are also some movies. It sounds so interesting. Just as interesting as Bavarian in Germany :) Very warm sounding.
Filipino here; Yeah, our casual language has a lot of English mixed into it, but by all means is it not part of the language, it's not even informal - Tagalog has its own informal language. Taglish is rather just used for extreme casualness. I'm not so sure if there were any promising apps out there that can better your speaking of the language, the only way I could think of is getting a native speaker teach you, _really_ invest your time researching the language whether it was through the Internet or various books, or both. This is typical for any other language, but Tagalog in particular is such a confusing language for having a basic set of words yet having no system or clear order to the use of these words, especially the verbs. Most languages often use the Subject-verb-object structure, while Tagalog mostly uses a Verb-subject-object structure. It uses the S-V-O structure too, but it's rarely used unless you really want to seem fancy. Here's an example: (V) (S) (O) Nagluto ako ng pagkain (S) (V) (O) Ako ay nagluto ng pagkain Not only does the V-S-O shorten the word count, but it's also just as formal as the other. (Take note: The word 'ng' and 'ay' are there to make these sentences make sense, otherwise taking it out will be nonsensical.) Next is the tremendous use of affixes, prefixes and suffixes in the language. Take the verb 'kain', this is typically what it should be (Using the V-S-O): Present Tense: Kumakain ako ng isda = I'm eating fish Kinakain ko ang isda = I'm eating the fish Past Tense: Kumain ako ng isda = I ate fish Kinain ko ang isda = I ate a/the fish Future tense: Kakain pa ako = I'm still gonna eat Kakain palang ako = I'm about to eat Kakain ako mamaya = I'll eat later But there are also these: Nakain ang isda = The fish has been eaten Kumain ang isda = The fish ate Pakain ang isda = Feed the fish Papakain ang isda = To feed the fish Pagkain and isda = The fish is food Nakakakain ang isda = The fish can be eaten/The fish has been fed Makakain ang isda = The fish will/can be eaten Some of those words aren't even verbs, they're practically nouns that just derived from the word kain. I guess that's the logic behind so many affixes to one verb, and that would've been easier if this didn't apply to every verb in the language. Basically, while Tagalog is basic on the basis, it also doesn't have any specific limitations to the verbs and in return makes the sentence somewhat chaotic. Also, just one last thing - Tagalog has a lot of vowel repetition, while not all words, most words in the language typically has a Consonant-vowel-consonant or Vowel-consonant-vowel style of word. Baba, diwata, sala, pito, anim, gago, maputi, nakakapagbagabag, etc. And it actually is legit, since the original script where Tagalog was based on, baybayin, had a similar script to Japanese Hiragana and Kanji, where every letter ends with a vowel, only difference being we pronounce differently. So, if you ever recognise someone either sounding like a sheep or singing repeated words weirdly, it's probably Tagalog. Also, apologies I didn't get to catch the stream, I'm only a recent viewer :') Edit: Okaaay so I found a video that seems to explain a lot about Tagalog - Which is the video titled 'How similar are Tagalog and Indonesian?' Double points for learning some Indonesian too lol
@@MrJeszam Ganiyan talaga kapag hindi sineserioso yung lenguahe, ngunit hindi naman parang kailangan na kailangan na gumamit ng Tagalog palagi. Kailangan lang ng maayos ng pag-aral sa Tagalog. Sa totoo lang din, kahit hindi naman madali ang Tagalog, masmadali siya sa mga ibang wika na may mahirap na diin sa salita kagaya ng mga Europang wika. Simple talaga ang Tagalog sa batay, mahirap lang ang paggamit ng mga pandiwa, kaya may nahahalong Ingles sa mga pandiwa.
It’s because your country was colonized and is still living in colonial hangover. Philippines medium of education is English so people speak tagolish ( mixture of tagalog mixed with English)
@@hodam9687 That's really only true in the richer cities lol. Anywhere else other than the famous cities in Luzon and you'll constantly meet people having 'nose-bleeds' over basic English. Although, I guess due to English being a part of the curriculum, it made Tagalog an underrated language in the country, even in those outside of the rich cities. In fact, Tagalog should've thrived off of Luzon, yet due to the colonisation did it become less used as time went by.
I am from Czech Republic and i know there's alot of people who thinks it's pointless to learn czech but i really think it's a beautiful language. There's so many ways how u can describe one word. Yeah, maybe it's hard. But i'm proud that i am from Czech Republic. Kdo si taky myslí že čeština je hezký jazyk? :D
36:46 as an israeli and hebrew speaker we kinda rely on that tbh. We enjoy making fun of people abroad and it would be hella awkward if they understood us
Your hard work in learning languages is commendable. Your videos will help me in my languages learning process. Urdu is actually a Turkish word Ordu which means army. So just like an army consists of people from different areas of a country, Urdu is a combination of words from different languages especially Arabic, Persian & Turkish. The whole of the national anthem of 🇵🇰 is Persian not Urdu. Yes easy for you to write because you know the Arabic transcript.
norwegians always joke that danish people sound like they try to speak norwegian but they have a potato stuck in their throut. danish people are calling norwegians fjell aper (mountain monkeys) however i think if i would recomend someone learning a scandinavian language I would probably go for norwegian. since its one of the easiest in the world for a native english speaker. and its like in the middle between danish and sweedish. so every scandinavian can easily understand them. even more so than danish and swedish understand each other
BiH is not just Islamic, it's pretty much devided between Islam and Christianity. Also, Serbian and Croatian are exactly the same language as Bosnian, just sound like different dialects. Pretty sure that linguistic books, especially Western ones just call our language Serbo-Croatian, but we use different names for them because of politics. As a Serb who is currently living in Bosnia with a few Croatian colleagues, I can guarantee that we all understand each other perfectly. Altho' I do think that Croatian might be the easiest one to learn for foreigners since its' prononciations are slightly softer
I agree completely. If you speak one, you speak all, a foreign speaker will most likely never catch the exact dialects anyway. Cheers, Serbian friend🇭🇷🇷🇸🍻
If you're actually studying BRAZILIAN and you want to study Romanian later on, you should pair them up. Even though our grammars are greatly different, our phonetics is closer to Romanian than to European Brazilian.
1:10:08 Actually urdo is a mix of hindi and farsi which the modern form is more like hindi but the poetry form is more farsi i guess. In fact all of them has the same root. They're indo-aryans language. Also old persian and sanskrit are pretty much the same😅
The Basque Country is located between Spain and France. 80% of its territory is located in Spanish territory and the remaining 20% in French territory. Their language is called "Basque" in Spanish, "Basque" in French and "Euskera" in Basque. In fact, the Basques call themselves "euskaldunak" which literally means "Those who have the Basque language". Euskera (Basque) is an isolated language that is not related to any other known language. Like the inhabitants of Euskadi (the Basque Country) its origin is unknown and no one has been able to find its origin. Currently approx. 1 million people speak Basque. Maybe you know one of the cities of the Basque Country, Bilbao; probably by the Guggenheim Museum. FMI: ua-cam.com/video/S1l9oDiSiEQ/v-deo.html
Just found this channel out of nowhere but I'm glad you're interested in learning Greek and becoming a shredded fisherman in Mykonos! One of the keys to sounding Greek is to have your "accents" at the right places. For example, you should say EllinikA (accent on the last "a"). Also, the way Greeks speak can be _comparable_ to how Italians carry out their speech, in terms of intonation and somewhat elongating the vowels. Good luck with your learning!

@@alioshax7797 yeah, it's the same language. The same as people speak English in UK, US, Canada, Australia, the same is with this, but because of politics and other issues people want to diverse from each other as much as possible, so even though it's the same language with the same grammar, Croats say they speak Croatian, Bosniaks say they speak Bosnian, Montenegrins say they speak Montenegrian and Serbs speak Serbian.
As a Norwegian I am offended that Norway language don’t have a super trash class Japanese should be higher buuuuuuuut most people think(make) it’s cringe and it’s insanely hard so understandable
As an Estonian I find Finnish language super funny in an ugly way, like a drunked downgraded Estonian. Nothing agains the nordic bros you are cool and all. Just the language fits to the person so well when they are on a drunken crawl.. maybe becuase the only time I mostly hear it is in our pubs and old town and that has ruined it for me.

Why would someone hate any language? Many people see the middle East as place fulfilled with religion fanatics and stuff and end up fearing arabs. There is nothing to do with the language itself, which is pretty but hard to learn.
Its to do with the general negative perception of the middle eastern countries, nobody can hate a form of communication. I think its more so just a dislike for Islam, and other radicals. I'm sure Arabs or Asians don't hate the English language, they just hate western culture, beliefs etc.
People hate the Islam expansion.
No one like that. Islamic culture should stay in where it is. Just like China Culture should stay in China.
I love Persian Prince, Alibaba, Aladin, Sinbad, 1001 Night Tale,....etc.
But I think they should stay to me visit, not come to me.

The funny thing is that danish is the hardest scandianvian language for most scandinavian people to understand because the phonology and accents are so different compared to Swedish and Norwegian, so if you have chosen to learn Danish you're gonna have a hard time in both Norway and Sweden unless you write everything down.
The best scandiavian language to learn is norwegian nynorsk, because you can be understood by both swedish and danish people for the most part, but you can also get a good understanding of norwegian dialects because nynorsk is a standardized version of most norwegian dialects, and also because it is somewhat a continuation of middle norwegian you will also get a somewhat understanding of faroese and icelandic aswell... atleast in writing.
Bokmål can be good if you plan to only visit Oslo or eastern Norway, and it is good for communicating with Danish people.

I'm a Pakistani! I'm learning Persian because of the cultural links between Pakistan and Iran. By the way, Urdu is written in the Persian Nastaliq script. It is also not just Hindi written differently x) There are a LOT of vocabulary differences, accent differences, and idioms/sayings exclusive to Urdu. It's different in speech as well, and as a native Urdu speaker I can easily tell if someone is speaking Urdu or Hindi. Urdu has more Persian and Arabic-based words with a bit of Turkish sprinkled in, while Hindi is more Sanskrit-based.

Yeah, I agree. Also, what sources are you using to learn farsi?
I want to learn it as well, but haven't given much thought to it yet.
Exactly its not just hindi with different script lol its a very different language. Also hindi came after Urdu so hindi is basically Urdu with sanskrit words replaced with persian and arabic words
Urdu speakers say it's not Hindi written differently or with some added Arabic words. Meanwhile most speakers of two languages can understand each other more or less.

Persian is Really Easy but at the same time beautiful and pure language. the Grammar is easy just a little different in the order of different type of words.
Also, Idk if you have the time but I strongly suggest the older version of Persian which is just so freaking cool and mostly used in poems, it's known as the Language of Love!
Also there was a Really Important person in the Iran's History Called Ferdowsi who literally spent 30 Years to save the Persian Language from getting replaced by Aarabic, and wrote a Long Legendary and Deep meaning (which literlly needs a bunch of people to analyze some parts) Story all in Poem! Consisting of some 50,000 "distichs" or couplets (two-line verses) and in beautiful Rhythms that gives you goose bumps when you're reading it
I speak serbian and slovenian, and believe me serbian is quite useful when you have to cuss someone out in the most agressive way, so you should consider learning it.

Yeah you're right about Urdu. If you already know the arabic alphabet then you'll have a easier time learning it. However Urdu does have some extra letters and some letters have a slightly different pronunciation. But yeah Urdu will be easier to learn if you know Arabic.
Yh the script is identical to the Persian script I believe
Urdu has a lot of arabic words which is also cool
Urdu and Hindi are same grammar wise on the base level but as you in depth both languages start taking very different paths.

Turk here, while it would certainly be great for you to learn it, it *would* be kind of tough. Its roots are asian, though, like the sentence order is structured the same exact way as Japanese (a big factor into why western people struggle with it), but if you had some level of those then Turkish would become infinitely easier.

Some may think that *Farsi* (Persian) is hard cause it uses Arabic alphabet with even 4 more letter . But the truth is it's actually pretty easier for example
in both alphabets there are 4 types of *Z* sounds (ز ذ ض ظ)
and in Arabic each of them have a different pronunciation that if pronounced wrongly can changed the meaning of the word
But in Persian they are all pronounced the same and it's not only for the *Z* sound eather
In both alphabets there are :
3 types of *S* (س ص ث)
2 types of *H* (ح ه)
2 types of *Á* (اَ ع)
2 types of *T* (ت ط)
2 types of the sound *Gh* that most English speakers can't even pronounce (غ ق)
You can all see the point now
If you've been reading this till the end.
Btw if you learn Farsi well you can be able to speak to Tajik and Afghan people too cause their languages (Tajiki . Dari) are very similar to Farsi
I know a bit of Arabic, and want to learn Farsi one day, it's very interesting ! It will be much easier to "read correctly" than Arabic for me! It encourages me to learn this language
Dear Americans and all people who thinks that Persian or farsi is using Arabic script completely wrong Persian is very very older than Arabic ans have more original words than Arabic it's persian script Pahlavi that into today iraq was part of Persia Iran and Arabic language born from Pahlavc Kufic script persian language just advanced itself in history ans modern Persian is more complete than today Arabic that using like beta script of persian language

17:56 it's totally a good take, but the only thing I didn't like as a bulgarian were the words "Bulgarian is like russian" actually russian is like bulgarian because the bulgarians created the cyrillic alphabet, and so I think that the bulgarian language came first, but just Russia is more famous, but yeah totally a good take and if you start learning the language reading is especially easy, cause what you see is what you read, like it's not like other languages like french where you analyze the whole word just to know how to pronounce the fucking e, in bulgarian you see that letter, and the way you say it in the alphabet is the way you read it, except й and ь but they're easy to understand and learn
Yes, like we have some similarities that's undeniable, but both languages are totally different, and bulgarian is the blueprint sooooo

Greetings from Slovakia
It's wird how often people confuse Slovakia with Slovenia
or call me dumb sometimes because they think that czechoslovakia is still united.
Which is somewhat fine, at least I got used to it but the most often it's confused with Slovenia to the point that our government meets up with theirs government and we sort through the mail that got sent the wrong way.
Also some language things:
Slovak grammar is f...cked because we've got something called "Vybrané slová" (Selected words as a direct translation) which are words specifictly selected to have y instead if i for some reason.
We have the same nominativ dativ ect. thing but the catch is that depending on these things we put y or i on the end. And its a mess.
The whole slovak grammar is trying to figure out if you have to put i or y in there, and it's not fun.
Also I dunno the full similarity with czech but It's quite simillar. Because as most slovak children I watched czech stations so I'm able to understand and speak czech very very well. I heared that in czechia they have everithing translated and that younger czech people do not understand slovak but who knows.
If you are not fluent in a slavic language, don't try this. You will get a heart attack and s stroke the second you look at all the rules next to each other.

also, id love to see if you ever learn pashto, its spoken in afghanistan and pakistan (some areas), and is basically a mix of urdu, hindi, persian, and arabic !
Part of my family is from Spain, but I thought all of my relatives from there had passed. Turns out I have close cousins who live in the Northern region, and I got really excited to speak Spanish with them, only to find out they speak basque :(
Not a bad language, I just don’t know it, lol
thats even cooler, learn it
I've listened to a few Danes on YT, there are also some movies. It sounds so interesting. Just as interesting as Bavarian in Germany :) Very warm sounding.
mongolian is written vertically and has its own cyrilic as well that makes it gigachad
Wish I saw the livestream, but still amusing yet informative nonetheless
gonna be honest, the quiz that he plays like the countries of the world ones has alot spelling mistakes but the quiz still accepts the answer
Filipino here; Yeah, our casual language has a lot of English mixed into it, but by all means is it not part of the language, it's not even informal - Tagalog has its own informal language. Taglish is rather just used for extreme casualness. I'm not so sure if there were any promising apps out there that can better your speaking of the language, the only way I could think of is getting a native speaker teach you, _really_ invest your time researching the language whether it was through the Internet or various books, or both. This is typical for any other language, but Tagalog in particular is such a confusing language for having a basic set of words yet having no system or clear order to the use of these words, especially the verbs. Most languages often use the Subject-verb-object structure, while Tagalog mostly uses a Verb-subject-object structure. It uses the S-V-O structure too, but it's rarely used unless you really want to seem fancy. Here's an example:
(V) (S) (O)
Nagluto ako ng pagkain
(S) (V) (O)
Ako ay nagluto ng pagkain
Not only does the V-S-O shorten the word count, but it's also just as formal as the other. (Take note: The word 'ng' and 'ay' are there to make these sentences make sense, otherwise taking it out will be nonsensical.)
Next is the tremendous use of affixes, prefixes and suffixes in the language. Take the verb 'kain', this is typically what it should be (Using the V-S-O):
Present Tense:
Kumakain ako ng isda = I'm eating fish
Kinakain ko ang isda = I'm eating the fish
Past Tense:
Kumain ako ng isda = I ate fish
Kinain ko ang isda = I ate a/the fish
Future tense:
Kakain pa ako = I'm still gonna eat
Kakain palang ako = I'm about to eat
Kakain ako mamaya = I'll eat later
But there are also these:
Nakain ang isda = The fish has been eaten
Kumain ang isda = The fish ate
Pakain ang isda = Feed the fish
Papakain ang isda = To feed the fish
Pagkain and isda = The fish is food
Nakakakain ang isda = The fish can be eaten/The fish has been fed
Makakain ang isda = The fish will/can be eaten
Some of those words aren't even verbs, they're practically nouns that just derived from the word kain. I guess that's the logic behind so many affixes to one verb, and that would've been easier if this didn't apply to every verb in the language. Basically, while Tagalog is basic on the basis, it also doesn't have any specific limitations to the verbs and in return makes the sentence somewhat chaotic.
Also, just one last thing - Tagalog has a lot of vowel repetition, while not all words, most words in the language typically has a Consonant-vowel-consonant or Vowel-consonant-vowel style of word. Baba, diwata, sala, pito, anim, gago, maputi, nakakapagbagabag, etc. And it actually is legit, since the original script where Tagalog was based on, baybayin, had a similar script to Japanese Hiragana and Kanji, where every letter ends with a vowel, only difference being we pronounce differently. So, if you ever recognise someone either sounding like a sheep or singing repeated words weirdly, it's probably Tagalog.
Also, apologies I didn't get to catch the stream, I'm only a recent viewer :')
Edit: Okaaay so I found a video that seems to explain a lot about Tagalog - Which is the video titled 'How similar are Tagalog and Indonesian?' Double points for learning some Indonesian too lol
Wow. You express your disappointment to him. I think annoying kasi kapag mix yung languages. Parang nakawalang gana.
@@MrJeszam Ganiyan talaga kapag hindi sineserioso yung lenguahe, ngunit hindi naman parang kailangan na kailangan na gumamit ng Tagalog palagi. Kailangan lang ng maayos ng pag-aral sa Tagalog.
Sa totoo lang din, kahit hindi naman madali ang Tagalog, masmadali siya sa mga ibang wika na may mahirap na diin sa salita kagaya ng mga Europang wika. Simple talaga ang Tagalog sa batay, mahirap lang ang paggamit ng mga pandiwa, kaya may nahahalong Ingles sa mga pandiwa.
It’s because your country was colonized and is still living in colonial hangover. Philippines medium of education is English so people speak tagolish ( mixture of tagalog mixed with English)
@@hodam9687 That's really only true in the richer cities lol. Anywhere else other than the famous cities in Luzon and you'll constantly meet people having 'nose-bleeds' over basic English.
Although, I guess due to English being a part of the curriculum, it made Tagalog an underrated language in the country, even in those outside of the rich cities. In fact, Tagalog should've thrived off of Luzon, yet due to the colonisation did it become less used as time went by.
>immediately puts japanese in nope
>"we're not gonna talk about this one"

I thought American was the only language anyone spoke.
T'as un bon accent, c'est fou ! Et oui je parle français, c'est ma langue maternelle btw :)
I am from Czech Republic and i know there's alot of people who thinks it's pointless to learn czech but i really think it's a beautiful language. There's so many ways how u can describe one word. Yeah, maybe it's hard. But i'm proud that i am from Czech Republic. Kdo si taky myslí že čeština je hezký jazyk? :D
Máš naprostou pravdu, Kamo. Čeština je krásný andělský jazyk :D
@@luggs69 přesně tak :D
36:46 as an israeli and hebrew speaker we kinda rely on that tbh. We enjoy making fun of people abroad and it would be hella awkward if they understood us
Your hard work in learning languages is commendable. Your videos will help me in my languages learning process. Urdu is actually a Turkish word Ordu which means army. So just like an army consists of people from different areas of a country, Urdu is a combination of words from different languages especially Arabic, Persian & Turkish. The whole of the national anthem of 🇵🇰 is Persian not Urdu. Yes easy for you to write because you know the Arabic transcript.
You are right about ordu but Urdu has no relations with Turkic languages. There are a few turkish words but most of them are actually Persian words.
with a go pro on my head make everyone as uncomfortable as possible and make a ton of revenue. lmao 🤣 🤣 🤣
What a true gigachad! Ur Russian accent is cute) Love from St.Petersburg❤️
norwegians always joke that danish people sound like they try to speak norwegian but they have a potato stuck in their throut. danish people are calling norwegians fjell aper (mountain monkeys) however i think if i would recomend someone learning a scandinavian language I would probably go for norwegian. since its one of the easiest in the world for a native english speaker. and its like in the middle between danish and sweedish. so every scandinavian can easily understand them. even more so than danish and swedish understand each other
BiH is not just Islamic, it's pretty much devided between Islam and Christianity. Also, Serbian and Croatian are exactly the same language as Bosnian, just sound like different dialects. Pretty sure that linguistic books, especially Western ones just call our language Serbo-Croatian, but we use different names for them because of politics. As a Serb who is currently living in Bosnia with a few Croatian colleagues, I can guarantee that we all understand each other perfectly. Altho' I do think that Croatian might be the easiest one to learn for foreigners since its' prononciations are slightly softer
I agree completely. If you speak one, you speak all, a foreign speaker will most likely never catch the exact dialects anyway. Cheers, Serbian friend🇭🇷🇷🇸🍻
Your singing is so beautiful, can listen it forever
If you're actually studying BRAZILIAN and you want to study Romanian later on, you should pair them up. Even though our grammars are greatly different, our phonetics is closer to Romanian than to European Brazilian.
European Portuguese, not European Brazilian
@@auraglow0339they are both the same, but European Brazilian is more correct
Your "E u não falo prtguês de Prtgal" is hilarious haha

Actually urdo is a mix of hindi and farsi which the modern form is more like hindi but the poetry form is more farsi i guess.
In fact all of them has the same root. They're indo-aryans language. Also old persian and sanskrit are pretty much the same😅
Yeah he has to work half as hard to learn the language as the base and grammar is almost entirely same in both these languages
Sanskrit and Russian are very similar!!!
@@jobansand In which way?
@@jobansand like grammar wise??
its not a mix, it was greatly influenced by persian but its not a mix (at least not the colloquial versions, idk about the standard version tho)
The Basque Country is located between Spain and France.
80% of its territory is located in Spanish territory and the remaining 20% in French territory.
Their language is called "Basque" in Spanish, "Basque" in French and "Euskera" in Basque.
In fact, the Basques call themselves "euskaldunak" which literally means "Those who have the Basque language".
Euskera (Basque) is an isolated language that is not related to any other known language.
Like the inhabitants of Euskadi (the Basque Country) its origin is unknown and no one has been able to find its origin.
Currently approx. 1 million people speak Basque.
Maybe you know one of the cities of the Basque Country, Bilbao; probably by the Guggenheim Museum.

Just found this channel out of nowhere but I'm glad you're interested in learning Greek and becoming a shredded fisherman in Mykonos!
One of the keys to sounding Greek is to have your "accents" at the right places. For example, you should say EllinikA (accent on the last "a"). Also, the way Greeks speak can be _comparable_ to how Italians carry out their speech, in terms of intonation and somewhat elongating the vowels.
Good luck with your learning!
Your Danish is Good after only learning for 3 months
His italian accent is actually really really good. I kinda hate that he keeps doing hand gestures while speaking it, but I enjoy watching him speak it
so you're telling me that making gestures isn't a mandatory part of speaking italian?
@@sadyakubovich Are you being ironic or am I too dense?
Serious answer: no.
Funny stereotype meme-y answer: pizza pasta sto parlando italiano guardatemi tutti e prendetemi per il culo🤌🤌🤌🍕🍕🍕🍕 yes hand gestures are 90% of the italian language mandolino and if you don't use them you aren't speaking italian 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
@@LoreGoshi 🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌
@@sadyakubovich I'm confused whether this is a really played out joke, a serious sentiment or the former becoming the latter. Genuinely, like I'm not being rude or looking down on you or anything.
I know a lot of my family uses their hands to talk, and certain gestures mean certain things, but also Italian is super regionalised and it's hard to speak about all areas at once. It's also just a language, people use it to communicate, some people don't talk with their hands very much at all
@@asinglebraincell6584 ok quick question where in italy are you from? how much neapolitan can you understand?
Love this. Definitely *stop* saying ‘über alles’ - it was expunged from the German anthem in 1945!
I genuinely had no idea
Yeah but you kept the same song! It's honestly the most well known line around the world.
I'm glad to know all his videos are unironic. The first adult to not lie to me. ☺
54:57 Is the japanese thing an inside joke?
A good language to learn if you want to grow very tiny trees
Hey! I'm a catalan native speaker! Pretty cool to see my language here even though you didn't recognise our flag lol
Espero que algun dia li donis una oportunitat a la nostra bonica llengua, que n'és de bonica! ^^
street hindi and urdu are very similar but they differ a lot in their sophisticated versions.
Hey I'm a croat, knowing bosnian, croatian or serbian sets you up for any of them, no need to learn each.
Are they actually the same languages ? Can a croat understand fully a Serb, and a Bosniac ?
@@alioshax7797 yeah, it's the same language. The same as people speak English in UK, US, Canada, Australia, the same is with this, but because of politics and other issues people want to diverse from each other as much as possible, so even though it's the same language with the same grammar, Croats say they speak Croatian, Bosniaks say they speak Bosnian, Montenegrins say they speak Montenegrian and Serbs speak Serbian.
As a Norwegian I am offended that Norway language don’t have a super trash class
Japanese should be higher buuuuuuuut most people think(make) it’s cringe and it’s insanely hard so understandable
Ver um gringo dizendo bolsonaro é um gostoso não é algo que eu vou me esquecer tão rapido
As an Estonian I find Finnish language super funny in an ugly way, like a drunked downgraded Estonian. Nothing agains the nordic bros you are cool and all. Just the language fits to the person so well when they are on a drunken crawl.. maybe becuase the only time I mostly hear it is in our pubs and old town and that has ruined it for me. But the thing about languages and how "pretty" they are are super subjective anyway so what the hell do I know. Their country is beautiful, people are kind and would fight honorably side by side against whoever.. Perkele!
Really? I heard that Estonian was a drunked, downgraded version of Finnish, well, okay!
@@kxpenhagen hehe. well.. you "heard" but I worked in Tallinn bars and restaurants for 8 years and I preferred anything to finnish. If we are just comparing the beauty of a language. But again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
Korean alphabet is extremely easy i learned how to read and write it at a good pace in like 2 days
Though im not that good at reading korean handwriting cause its not exactly the same as text korean its more messy lol
51:09 "Deutscland über alles" isn't necessarily nationalistic, it implies that the priority of the people should be the German state, and that they have to work for the betterment of Germany.
