Thank you guys so much for the support throughout 2022. I can’t wait to film more interesting videos for you guys in 2023!
Last but not least hope you guys have a wonderful holiday!
we’re looking forward to it :))
You too. Merry Christmas Jesse 👍
Restaurant and champagne are French words though....
良いお年を🎍🎉
Champagne is not English it's French that 1 wasn't fair
This was so fun to watch! 🥰 To be fair, "champagne" is a French word (the drink gets its name from the Champagne region in northeast France, where it's made) but it was nice to see folks try hard & do their best. You both did a great job on this video, thank you & happy holidays! 🥳
Isnt Restaurant as well?
@@Tom-el3nm yes it is
english is a bastard language with most of our words deriving from other languages 😭 which is 1. why english is difficult to learn and 2. native english speakers have an advantage when it comes to learning other languages over non native english speakers. so many of our words look and sound like their original!
Well it's also an English word. It's a loanword but it's still English.
@@NicoDoesLP Sushi is also a loanword and so is restaurant and many other English words so it's not really unfair.
8:30 How did they spell "Wednesday" with such ease? They even said they weren't confident in their English abilities. I'm thoroughly impressed.
I thought the same! I think because with language learning, days of the week come fairly early
Same, even though English is my first language (and sadly the only language I know, but I’m working on learning other languages!), I still struggled with the word ‘Wednesday’ until I was like, 8 years old lol
English is hard for Asians because it doesn't make sense, not like MATH .LOL
I cant even spell Wednesday
@@liability443 Same, I have no idea how to spell Wednesday.
9:59 That is a phenomenal attempt. She clearly knows her English quite well given that she spelled champagne (a French word btw) exactly phonetically correct.
"Do you speak English?"
"Yes"
"Spell Restaurant (a French word)
Spell Godzilla (a Japanese word)
Spell Sushi (a Japanese word)
Spell Champagne (a French word)"
@@digital-nomad this hahaha..especially godzilla, its their own language, and they say it as 'gojira'
@@digital-nomad To be fair, about 80% of words in English aren't actually germanic, so you could do this all day long if you wanted.
@@magoomania6278 he defo knew how to fk with their heads choosing that as the last word
@@digital-nomad I didn't know Restaurant was a French word before now! Interesting
I’m American, and you’d be surprised how many adults were born and raised here but can’t spell Wednesday OR restaurant, so I’m thoroughly impressed 😆
Americans when geography and spelling: 😭 💀
English is a difficult and inconsistent language, Wednesday is not said like it is spelled, and restaurant sounds like rest a rount so soemtimes even native speakers can make mistakes.
Actually jewelry is a pretty hard word 😭 but English isn't my first language
Restaurant is pretty simple bc we use that too
@@UnicornBySprinkledude ya sent it twice, idk if you wanna delete the second one
Well restaurant is a french loanword
Japanese language is phonetic, that's why they often spelled the english words the way they sound. Some of them were unsure because of certain rules in English on some cases; silent letters, double letters, and inconsistent pronunciation of some letters.
That's why banana may seem simple enough and an example of phonetic, but they felt it's a trick question for a level 2, so trust issue kicked in. One group hesitated if there's double "n" on it and one group thought it might have a letter "u" in there that acts as an "a" 😂
Yeah my girlfriend is Serbian and she has the same problem. Every letter only ever makes one sound so written English can be quite hard for her. The rules for written English are very inconsistent so it really is just more about knowing them through experience rather than any particular rules.
Dutch, indonesian, malaysian, and japanese has this kind of language. Exactly what they sound.
That reminds me that in some anime they wrote “GAY” instead of “GUY”
@@floptaxie68 That's an honest and innocent mistake XD
Indonesian language is the same but they are way better at english than japanese people somehow
It’s so cute how Japanese people are still happy and laughing even after getting some words wrong aw 😢😢 part 2 please !!
they dont care about the money thats why
@@lemonke5341 not the heated argument in the comments
are they supposed to be mad or sum 💀
Japanese people tend to laugh in awkward situations to lighten the mood so they're just laughing because they're embarrassed
They care more about anime plot twists and not a challenge with insignificant mortals from the human species.
2:06 "a g?" Lmao, he realized how stupid English is
it's french
As someone who speaks English and writes with it everyday, it’s just surprising to see something that comes so naturally (silent lettering, double letters, and just the sounds of the letters changing through each word) be so confusing for other people who come from different countries , I just forget how stupid our language is sometimes
Yeah....
English is my third language but I’m fluent. It’s really all about when u start learning the language 😅 I for one started learning English since day 1 at school, along with French and Arabic 🤷🏻
I'm an Asian, I think My english is decent enough to be considered "usable" and really the only things I have problems with are the double letters like I can spell words like pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (if that's the full word I don't remember if there's more) with relative ease but the moment the word is something like Mississippi it's just a lot harder like sometimes I can't even spell bizarre (I used to always spell it as bizzare when I was like 5 years old now I know how to spell it but occasionally I spell it as bizzare) and occasionally ( I sometimes spell it as ocasionally idek how haha) so yeah. That's the difficulty of trying to speak English haha, but it really depends on what age you started speaking it, I started speaking it when I was 5 or 6, And that helped quite a bit.
(Oh and if there were any spelling mistakes or grammatical errors above, Please do not hesitate to correct me because lately I have gotten worse at english and I'd like it if native English speakers could help me understand it more)
Sincerely,
Me.
@@ScreamingEmoji I don’t know if this was a typing error, most likely, and since it’s text language it doesn’t really matter, but the idk, was spelled as idek
Yet again, I fail with the new slang these days, and I have so much texting errors, so I be not wanna come off as nitpicking
@@ihonestlydontknow7677 It's fine man, You are not coming off as nitpicking. You are correct though, as It is an Abbreviation/Slang.
It stands for I Don't Even Know. And thanks for correcting me by the way.
first guy really vibing lmao
The guy at 6:24 was actually SO funny. In English he's hilarious but in Japanese it was even funnier 😂
Yeah, that dude was cool
enstarrie ..
“Yeah some people dont make it this far”
“Such dumbass ”
😂im dead
But didn't he spell B A A N A N A ?? I hear double A 😱
@@GothicGame he just stressed the letter A there. Like D at 7:57
I loved the energy of that level 2 proficiency captain! I don't think a lot of the idiomatic banter was translated literally, but you really captured their different cheerful personalities.
Those signs at the start had me absolutely pissing myself.. If I ever went to Japan I'd probably just end up laughing the entire time because I saw a misspelled sign, people would think I'm crazy. 🤣
If you can read them, most stores actually has misspelling names all over the place lol
No smorkey!! Lol
I smiled all way through. The vibes seem so fun. Everyone laughing and having a fun time. Thanks for the video Brotha. I needed a smile today.
Your name is in the cover 🤣

I like hearing the Japanese try out English. It’s cute to hear them struggle😂❤
“It’s cute to hear them struggle” - Someone who definitely doesn’t have people in their basement
@@remirusaikiYou mean having children with their locked-up daughter
@@SumitPalTube you just made it weird
We need more of this 😭😭🙌🙌🙌
Stupid thing is that Godzilla basically is Gojira (ゴジラ) but the English heard Godzilla and then called it like that when in fact it's Japanese.
When I read Godzilla as gorilla…my eyesight is horrible
I genuinely love seeing how this channel has grown from I started watching about a year ago. Here's to a great 2023 👍
I REALLY like these types of videos. Do more of these english spelling quizzes😂
Too wholesome! This was so much fun to watch, im subscribing!
That was really fun, Jesse and Shota! This should be required viewing by all English language teachers in Japan!
nah y’all definitely deserve the 200k because your videos are so entertaining that i never want to miss a single one,, like ur literally one of my favorite youtubers fr
I Just today discovered this channel and I already in LOVE with it!!
I love your vibe bro, you actually have a ton of charisma yourself lol
We need part 2 Jess 😁
This so cute haha it’s so nice to see them try to speak English especially in their Japanese accent it’s honestly so sweet!! Love this video definitely do more
Ew delete this.
@@Kazoku4 lol what😭😭😭😭
8:36 I DON’T EVEN REMEMBER how to Wednesday😂😂
So cool ! Keep up guys!
Spell Godzilla.. you guys are funny. Even as a native English speaker I would probably mess up spelling restaurant if you caught me out in the street without my spell check 😝
I only recently learned how to spell it cuz its written form is basically nonexistent for me, most of the time.
I think if a random youtuber decide to interview me I would panic and forget how to spell anything, forget my own name and even forget what 1+1 is
that's because restaurant is not an english word
This was so much fun! We need Part 2 plss!!!
This is awesome content man keep it up
I do not watch this man's posts this much. however when I do, I am filled with a sense of happiness. Where even in a country like a Japan that at times can be serious and maybe strict. There is the soft reminder that we are still all human and as human we can all share a tip and a laugh. It really is beautiful seeing one culture learn about another while wearing a smile and sharing happiness with one another. Or then again I may just be overthinking it.
Really enjoyed this. Maybe you could make a similar challenge about geography. Fantastic content thanks for sharing
man this is by far the best video you've made, I loved it all the way through
I like seeing how they think through it the same way we try to when learning Japanese.
I came across with your channel and your videos are amazing, entertaining and informative. Keep it up! 🙌
"I underestimated this, I didn't think fucking godzilla would come up"
I died laughing at this part lmao
Love the vibe, love this ❤️😂
Such a great video man thanks for the laughs!
2:12 🤣🤣 Hey... in all fairness... I was born and raised here in America. Been here all my life and I STILL spell that word wrong! 🤣🤣👏👏👏
This video was gold😂 Merry Christmas,Jesse🎄
Love this series
This is fun lol ~ i am addicted to hearing all the laughs in this video too cx
Hahaha I think I’ve seen you interviewing around town before! This was such a fun video to watch, definitely subscribing!
I just started watching your videos yesterday. Very top quality content and both of you seem to have great personalities. Subscribed!
Loved watching this and how you subtitled the videos 😂
Dude the stroke on the end when entering the challenge yourself floored me 💀
The music is sending me 😂😂 great video!
Make more of this, I enjoyed their spelling cause it was fun to watch. I think no Japanese trying to speak Japanese also are same.
this was hilarious, i kept replaying every scene because i was smiling and dying of laughter. keep up the good work, love these types of interviews.
The guy who was utterly devestated at getting godzilla incorrect has my heart😭
The end was the best! So good 😂
Wow the way that guy tricked his friends into believing banana has a u, I'm glad they managed in the end. 😅Also if someone gets champagne you can put "psychotic" as the next level ehehe.
Soliloquy for a 10000 yen challenge haha
Read that as psychic 😅
As a native English speaker i can’t even spell that most of the time
lmao champagne papi 😭😭 i literally love love ur videos sm they’re awesome, please always make videos for us. ❤️ i enjoy ur content
This is why I love living in Japan. Such laid back people 😂
Loved this !
This is so cute and fun to watch!! Thank you for this!! Oh and you speak Japanese?! I just watch this video from you for the first time!! 😆
great video bro ❤ Merry Christmas Jesse 🙏🎄☘️
Am watching this cuz it's fun to watch you speak Japanese, am also learning
This is hilariously entertaining 😂😂😂 do more
This is so entertaining and funny.
Thanks for the video and Merry Christmas :)
Its really interesting that many people have to "write" the letters in the air on their palm in order to figure it out. Lots of good attempts! Even as a native speaker english will stump me on certain words.
The funniest thing is some English speaking people can't spell these words correctly. I think we take it way too serious sometimes. Thanks for the video 😆😆
Those ladies deserved the money. I'm English and worked in the restaraunt industry for 5 years and I still have to check I spell it correctly
Spell what?
shampain @@alukuhito
2:32
"Finar ansar?"
"Yesu."
I can't 🤣😭😭😭
After a while, most of people end up speaking like that...even the grammar order, their special use of some words in English
Ah yes, my favorite food, suci
This is so wholesome
I love this!
5:46 "banana" left the chat 🤣🤣
6:53 man is funny without even trying to be funny lol
This video was really cool I immediately hit the smash button after watching
Part 2 please!!!
Good content I've seen alot of Japanese in English youtubers but very few can actually get Japanese people to laugh
Probably my favorite video from you yet. So fun to watch. Everyone seems to be in a good mood. :)
"Hit the smash button" LOL😂✨
Amazing vid to watch!
Have a Great Day/Night!
I love your video so much. Maybe a video where you ask people what games they play to see what games are popular in Japan
6:18 the fact that u need to check before spelling banana💀💀
This was super interesting to watch and everyone was so cheerful
Please please more videos like this!!!!!!!!
6:52 when people from another space-time continuum call you dumb 5:49 🤣😭
oi oi oi!!! the guys at 12:17 were wayys closer to getting it right than the girls you gave the money! NOT FAIR!!!
I also thought so.. Like- hope he gave em the 1000yen
As a Japanese who speaks both languages fluently, this was so funny
This is fun. Do some more
The first guys laugh 😂 I love it!
11:41 that tone when hes spelling R-A-N-T
Imagine he just pulls out the “Supercallifragillisticespidocious”
Oh hell yeah I smash that "smash button"! More please.
Bro! Thank you for doing this! Im currently learning kanji from japanese, ありとがう!
I also love how you have to check out the spelling for yourself 🤣
Try this with native English speakers, I'll bet we are as bad at spelling some words as they are at writing some Kanju! English spelling is not the least bit intuative with all of it's weird rules and exceptions and seemingly arbitrary letter combinations! If you have never encountered a word before, you kinda just need to guess! Just pick some obscure words with unusual spellings and watch us fail miserably!
These quiz videos are so entertaining BUT… you guys should have more rounds and up the stakes! Like 5 rounds would be good.
You sound like my nephew, fun and always laughing. Second video I have watched. Nice job
I can see some peple wondering why those japanese can spell "Wednesday" and can't spell "Godzilla " and "champagne".
That's because "Wednesday" is the test English word while the others are not as this guy said at 6:59 .
We don't pay attention to non-test English word like "Godzilla".
You are welcome😉
Help, i am unable to remove this smirk from my face
Part 2 needed !!
It’s super fun to watch 😅
11:50 I like this guy's vibrato as he reads out the vowels, adds some flair
Bro that was the funniest video ever lmao
9:09 How tf did she spell restaurant? I can't even spell restaurant. I had to use auto correct just to type this comment.
I love how they make the buzzer sound from their mouth
this really lift up the mood🤣
I'm raging a min ago, now i can't help but smile widely
