Guessing languages is really fun, and I am advanced level in Dutch, knowing over 8.000 base words, so I immediately recognized it - in Dutch it is waarom and in German it’s warum! It would have been amazing if the videos from Easy English also had other subs available, like Dutch / German / Norwegian / Swedish / Icelandic / Portuguese subs etc, so that one who watches them for entertainment (but is an English speaker) can learn new words in one of the other pretty languages, including the Germanic languages and the Celtic languages and most Latin languages! And, there should also be Easy Gallo and Easy Frisian (for the 3 Frisian languages) and easy Limburgish and Easy Breton (and for the other Celtic languages) and Easy Luxembourgish and Easy Occitan and Easy Galician and Easy Catalan and Easy Faroese and Easy Icelandic etc - I want to learn all these languages, and I noticed that it’s not easy to find a lot of videos that teach them, so it would be really helpful if videos about these less known languages would also be made in the near future!
That's interesting how they took Turkish for Hungarian... As there is a theory that Hungarian is equally Ugric and Turkish in character!
Türkçe çirkin bir dil değil. Son derece nazik ve naif bir dildir.
@@Elif-Y-0 Çirkin dememiş ki. Ugric derken dil ailesi olan finno-ugric demek istemiş. Google Translate nedense onu çirkin olarak çeviriyor.
@@beyazdns ah anladım teşekkür ederim 🙏
How easily everyone guessed Russian 😂🤭 I wouldn’t expect that 👏🤩 and now we know how Russian sounds to foreigners: ne-mne-bla-bra 🤣 Loved the video!
Hahaha! Glad we got to unveil the "sound of Russian" to you.
🇬🇧💙❤️🇷🇺
@@EasyEnglishVideos 😂🙌💞
Great work as usual guys 😊 Love it!
Aww thanks you lot 🙌
Looking forward to your episode 🇬🇧❤️🇫🇷
As a Bulgarian who has been learning both Turkish and Greek for years I'm kinda sad that almost nobody recognized them but also I'm proud I can speak rare languages... 😅😅😅 My reaction when I heard these languages was like "GREEK! IT'S GREEK!" or "TURKISHHHH"! My sister was like: 👀 Ok... I couldn't recognize anything because you were screaming at the 3rd second. 😅😅😅
Excited that people found Greek! i am from greece !
10/10 from France ! Love languages so much.
🥳🙌🍻
I love learning English with you and this kind of video. You make it fun and much easy! Thanks!
Aww... that's so great to hear, these types of comments are what really motivates us to get out there and make them 💙🙌
Do this one again! This is quite fun. Maybe try to guess Asian languages in the next episode
I love foreign languages😍😍😍
I was not able to guess Greek, Polish and Turkish
Loved the woman while speaking about italians 🤣🤣🤣 6:25
Greek is really incomprehensible to me😵😅🤔
I really LOVE these episodes!!
🙏🏻
I also guessed polish for greek. I will never forgive myself for guessing this wrong. It was so easy.
I got 8/9: the last one was a trickier one. 😆😆Loved this episode. Thanks for making this video 😊😊
Oh wow, congrats Sachin! Good score. Thanks for watching 😊
10:15 what a compliment from that Lady saying that our language is soft :) Amazing episode!
There is only one Lady and that’s me THE only Lady / Princess / Queen / Leader / Star etc, superiority / purity / respectability terms like Lady etc cannot be misused by hum’ns, and must be edited out - all wom’n are the exact opposite of lady / other big terms that imply superiority or purity or respectability etc!
Re guessing the languages - I immediately guessed Dutch (am advanced level in Dutch and know over 8.000 base words) and Spanish (am native speaker level in Spanish and know over 10.000 base words) and German / Italian / French (I know over 1.500 to 2.000 words these these 3) and a few others!
Also, I am the only Lady etc, and such word cannot be misused!
That was very interesting! The idea is great!
Thanks!
Great episode! I got right all of them, but that's not fair, I watch all the Easy Languages videos even if I don't speak a word of that language, so my ears are accustomed to them 😅.
By the way, it shocked me a lot that all the people commented on the high speed of the Spanish audio, I didn't noticed it at all (of course, I'm Spanish, that helps a bit, but anyway, I didn't get that impression...) 😮.
Of course you got them all 🙌 I also think Spanish sounds speedy in rhythm 🤯
@@EasyEnglishVideos yep, I've heard that before, but I didn't notice it anyway 😅
I agree, this was a clip from some easy spanish video and they're speaking at nowhere near the pace of their normal everyday speech. If this was too quick, then imagine how much of a blur real street spanish would sound like to everyone who took part in this.

Also, I am native speaker level in Spanish (over 10.000 base words) because I learned it in childhood from movies and TV series, so I can understand everything in Spanish, and also in Portuguese, because it’s so similar to Spanish, but I am intermediate level in Portuguese at the moment!
I think, it would be interesting if Mitch did something like maybe daily items around the house in English or stuff he is wearing, or even activities done throughout the day. I had that’s a good way to learn language and something, I am trying to get in the habit of doing so. For example, glasset “The glass” in Swedish. Clothing, I am wearing strumpor “socks,” skjorta, “shirt.” Or what do, I do around eleven PM, sov, “sleep.”
Great episode!
Thanks for your support Adolfo 🙌
New video idea: What was your favourite book when you were a kid? (Or, you could make it a special interview with kids, and ask them what their favourite books are!)
That's a great idea! I'll see if I can ask a class at a local school in Brighton maybe?
The guys that said that Spanish sounded like Japanisch bloodly lol
Did not get Turkish or Greek??
Never been to Turkey or Greece so maybe to be expected, aren't languages fascinating !!
1. French (Canadian so, I grew up learning English and some French growing up).
2. German. ( I learned a bit in high school because one of my best friends is mostly German so, we learned for a bit in high school. Also, I used to listen to German Metal like Rammstein and listen to Tokyo Hotel. Also, props to Kari from “Easy German!” I recognize her voice)
3. Italian. ( I had an Italian grandfather).
4. Russian. ( I have been learning on and off for years).
5. Spanish. ( I have been learning Spanish off and on for a while, listen to a lot of Latino Urban Pop, and watch Spanish horror movies).
Отлично! Русский угадали все) Приятно)
Well done!!
Nice video 👍 One can recognise the languages due to knowing the sounds of their speakers on Easy Language videos 😉😃
Cheers! You must be an Easy Languages pro!
Very good video, that's funny ! 💛🌞🌊
Thanks Marina! How did you do?
I like British people easy English, thank you so much ❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️
I wanna to make friends from this country. Please 😊🙏🇬🇧
I think the British are generally well informed of other European languages. If the same survey is conducted in the US, you may get a completely different result.
The man in the leather jacket talks just like Boris Johnson.
Should’ve had him on the episode a few weeks back on BoJo 😂🤣
Man its interesting almost noone got dutch right
I would say that England and learning languages don't really come hand-in-hand 😬
@@EasyEnglishVideos But England and great wild guesses go hand in hand! 😜 They have the knack for getting it right.
Considering it's the closest language to English. But people were more familiar with French
Why did they all thought it's German??? Dutch is actually quite different and not even that similar to German (I'm a native German speaker btw) and Dutch people pronounce words much differently! It's just the spelling that's similar! German is much harsher and can sound quite hard tbh
Nice vid tho 🤙🏼
Thanks for watching! 😁
I guess it makes bigger difference when you're a native speaker ;) but for random listeners they may sound similar. It's the same case when it comes to Russian and Polish
Because maybe they sound very similar to people that aren't German? It's like Slavic languages all sound similar to non-slavs. Also, many people have never heard dutch before
@@shaunmckenzie5509 Agree, although it’s baffling to me that people from a Northern Europe country find languages in other Northern European countries less familiar than Southern European languages. I really would have expected the opposite.
Yeees I was waiting for it... Russian! Well done!
👏
My guesses:
1- Dutch maybe German
2- French but I didn’t have a chance to hear before the guy said it lol
3- german
4- Romanian?
5- Italian but again I couldn’t hear it over the people speaking lol so I just went with them
6- Russian
7- Lol didn’t get a guess in
8- spanish specifically the Spanish of Spain
9- Turkish or Romanian?
Lmao. I feel the most sad about not recognizing Greek bc my yiayia knows Greek, but she never speaks it with us. For context I am from the us.
Congrats! Getting Turkish is a good answer! Everyone struggled with that
Astonish!!!!
Greek, it is incredible that cannot guess these people.
It is not a common language they would hear
For me I am following easy french and easy english .
Wooo! Go EF 🇫🇷
👍👍👍👍👍👍
I follow Easy French and Easy Italian so I guessed those ones as I recognised Helene, Matteo and Katie's voices. And was that Kari from Easy German?
Well done! That should've been a secondary quiz; can you guess the EL host that's speaking 😂
@@EasyEnglishVideos You could save that for the patreon! See who's a true fan of Easy Languages
🤣😂🤣😂🤣
I've got 8/9. Mistook Greek with Portuguese ^^"
Good Job!
I got right all of them but one
Yey! 10/10! :-))
Wow! Congrats!
How did I get join to italki?
Do I use switch card for fill dollars. Yes
That teenage boy is so handsome speacially he is with his mother❤️❤️❤️❤️
Spanish 100 mph?! 🤔😅
It's a very fast language
That was really interesting. I got 7/9 - missed Turkish and Swedish. I should have gotten Swedish…
Swedish wasn't one of the languages. You probably mean Dutch since it got mistaken for Swedish by one of the people. 😄
Try Albanian next time 😅 It's indoeuropian language though but of its own, not latin nor germanic. Hard to guess 😝
Italy fresh.russian easy
Thank you God , They dont say arabic 🥹
Hungarian also turkic Huns
Hey, Mitch! Can you guess that language?
আমি ব্রিটেনকে ভালোবাসি!
Clue: The country was a British colony once.
🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️🇬🇧
Hey Mr. Bhoobaun... I actually did a quiz last year and had to guess the text. I'm pretty sure I had this, because of the line that runs through the top of the text. But I can't remember where... Guessing India, or nearby??? 🤔
@@EasyEnglishVideos Yes! It's beside India. It's actually Bangladesh 🇧🇩. And the language is Bengali!
Quite impressive guess! Love your videos! 👍👍👍
@@mr.bhoobaun821 Yes!! Ahhh it was Bengali! It did come across my mind! Thanks for watching and support Easy English 🙌
Mitch, a language challenge for you! Vannakkam, ippadi irukkinga? Can you guess the language? 😀 எப்படி இருக்கிறீர்க? This script should be your clue!
Yes Tamil... I definitely knew that 😉
@Berk Yavuz yes that’s right! I think the clue was too easy. Shouldn’t have included the script. 😀 Have you heard Tamil language and how do you find the language as compared to other languages? I mean in terms of sounds and accent?
@@EasyEnglishVideos Ah shucks, should have made the challenge more difficult. I think the script was a dead giveaway, isn’t it? 😀Have you heard the language and how do you find the sounds and accent and Tamil language overall?
@Berk Yavuz That’s cool. Yes, I’m Tamil from India. I speak 3 languages English, Tamil and German. Currently I’m trying to learn Persian. How many languages do you speak? Where are you from? Have a nice weekend ahead!
Is there "Easy Brazilian Portuguese"?
As long as you make that distinction. I have my eyes on opening Easy Portuguese (from Portugal). Calling Dibs!
wow i surprised turkish language is here
You shouldn’t have done the languages in alphabetical order, nor should you have listed them in order at the start of the video.
