    What makes Swedish hard is that we have around 20+ different vowel sounds written with 9 letters in total (a, e, i, o, u, y, å, ä, ö). Every vowel letter have at least 2 different sounds. Some sounds are also very unique to the Swedish language. Like the combination "sj" and "sk" in "sjuksköterska and also how we pronounce the letter "u". These two sounds are the easiest to spot if you are a native Swedish speaker or not.

    Personally i think that the less a language is phonetic, the harder it is to learn, because you're essentially learning every word double if that makes sense. You have to learn the intricate pronunciation of single letters and their combinations all seperately and to get to the point in a language you're learning that you can make out the native pronunciation of a word you haven't heard yet is insanely difficult. This becomes even harder if the language has a couple inconsistent rules and/or exceptions out of the blue. Oh and of course if the language's alphabet is not your native alphabet, that includes simple things like having additional letters like ö, ä, ü but even more so if its a whole new alphabet like greek, russian or chinese.
    Languages are really cool.

      @luikanami Рік тому +3

      True only to a certain point, i'd say. Usually the other languages follow rules in their pronunciation and make a lot of sense to get to the right pronunciation, so after just a little while into the learning process you won't even notice English, French or Gailic aren't like German, Japanese or Italian. Exceptions are languages like Chinese, where you have to literally memorize a picture or comination of pictures describing every single word.

    • @luikanami
      @luikanami Рік тому +3

      I always think about it this way: In French, English or Gaelic the letters are used like numbers in equations producing curves. Once you are familiar with the math you'll get every new word without ever looking up the pronunciation. In Italian, Russian, German, Japanese or Spanish, the letters (being it Cyrillic, Latin/Arabic or Hiragana) are more like coordinates that don't produce a curved graph but simply have to be connected with streight lines. Letters do different things in those two groups, yet it's perfectly logic.

    Spanish is so straightforward compared to the other languages and how they’re spelled versus how they’re pronounced. It’s extremely phonetic and spelled exactly how it’s pronounced without exceptions really. Just know the rules and you’re good to go. Italian is similar but it has double consonants that add a layer of difficulty that Spanish doesn’t have.

    I really don't understand why the hard 'G' sound in Dutch seems to be considered the 'only correct way to pronounce the G like'. Dutch is a special case in that regard, because the sound changes significantly towards the softer variation once you travel to the south of the country of the Netherlands. In fact, all Flemish people speak Dutch with either the softer g sound or even an H sound instead. The Swedish girl actually gives a good example of how that soft g sounds like in Dutch when she teaches the others her Swedish word.

    CH in Dutch is either a G or SH sound.

For our Dutch lady in the video, I'm guessing she's from the western part of the Netherlands, North or South Holland probably, perhaps Utrecht.
    For American-English, yeah I was expecting her to fail as she isn't used to any other languages then her own. No shade on her, but it's the unfortunate truth. It makes things harder to pronounce.

    Instead of "Mille-Feuille" (well done for spelling this word correctly because when talking about a thousand paper sheets you have to use the plural form "mille feuilles", yup another exception) a better choice would have been "Écureuil" because it contains the specific French "u" and "r". And "caoutchouc" (from the Spanish word "cauchuc" and originating from a Perivian language) isn't really hard to pronounce in most languages.

    - Nguyệt /ŋwiət̚˧ˀ˩ʔ/ - moon

    - Khuya /xwiə˧˧/ - late at night. I have seen many Vietnamese people pronounce this word as “khuê” /xwe˧˧/
    - Khuỷu /xwiw˧˩˧/ - elbow; bend. Some Vietnamese people pronounce it as “khỉu” /xwi˧˩˧/
    - quặt quẹo /kwat̚˧ˀ˩ʔ kwɛw˧ˀ˩ʔ/ - frequent illness, emaciated and atrophied
    - Ngặt nghẽo /ŋat̚˧ˀ˩ʔ ŋwew˧ˀ˥/ - laughing so much that whole the body tilted. Northerners often pronounce as “ngặt nghiẽo” /ŋat̚˧ˀ˩ʔ ŋwiew˧ˀ˥/ while Southerners cannot distinguish between the final "t" and "c" sounds and cannot pronounce the "ngã" tone.
    - “Chuếnh” /ʨwəjŋ˧˥/ and “chệnh choạng” /ʨəjŋ˧ˀ˩ʔ ʨwaːŋ˧ˀ˩ʔ/ - Slightly dizzy like when drunk. These two words are not difficult to pronounce for Vietnamese people but will be difficult for foreigners. However, Vietnamese people often have difficulty spelling and writing correctly.

    I am American and lived in Germany for 3 years. The guttural speech is what always threw me. I was able to learn enough German to shop and interact with doctors and nurses while my baby was hospitalized. I loved watching the video.

    As a Swiss, I knew right from the start which word she was gonna say and I don't know - maybe she did not pick it, but this word annoys me so much. "Chuchichästli" is in fact a Swiss German word but honestly, I'm 42 and I have never even heard anybody say it except for making non Swiss German speakers say it and have a laugh at them. We are actually more likely to say "Chuchischrank", at least that's the word I've kept hearing to this day.
    Und an alli Schwizer do inne, chömmer bitte ändlich e neus Wort finde? Es närvt ! 😆 Niemerds seit das.

    as an italian girl, "chiglia" and "ghiaccio" weren't the most hardest words. They can make them say "supercaligrafigilispirispiralidoso" separated is " s u p e r c a l i f r a g i l i s p i r i s p i r a l i d o s o" that it haven't a really meaning but it was a disney movie of 1964 said that word

    Switzerland speaks German as well. It’s just a different dialect, but everyone knows Standard German. And due to the fact that Swiss German isn’t a written language everything that is written is Standard German.

    As a Swedish I think you were really good pronouncing trakasserier.
