    Only good thing, we didn't have to learn all flags all over the world but maximum 10 per continent and ditched official languages. But all the capitals, placement, main rivers still the same. I remember I struggled a lot with west asian's capitals

      In Spain we learn the same thing, and I think that in all of Europe we do the same, we learn almost everything from our neighbors, because we have been sharing a land for thousands of years and the least you can do is get to know those around you, it's called having empathy for the others, and that makes people much more balanced and responsible, the lack of culture of the self-proclaimed first country in the world is delirious, you should get out of your bubble and meet the rest of the planet, you would be surprised by all the things you are missing .

    As a native uropayan I can confirm, that allmost all of that was correct. If somebody wants to nuke us, that is, where he can find us. There was only one little mistake: The Eiffel tower is - of cause - in the german mountains "Eifel". Except for the second "f" in Eiffel tower, that was a gift from the french, like your statue of liberty.
    The french have been a very sad nation ever since, because they do not have any statues left and they do not have their own "f" any more. Whenever they want to say "France", they have to borrow back the letter from the german government. That was the reason for them, to put the whole country into their capital. There is no "f" in Paris. So much about the french history - or should I say "the ranch history"?
    There was another little inaccuracy. I would not call it "wrong", that would be rude. But, of cause, Europe is not directly located in America. Europe is, as everybody should be able to guess, the capital of Jupiters moon Europa. But we should not be picky: Jupiter and its moons are obviously part of north america.

    i'm not that clued up on geography, but i can atleast say that i know roughly where most of the countries are, especially the top 50. same thing with their respective capital cities. i might not know which of the cities has the capital status, but i know where some of them are. Flags are a different story though. i don't really pay attention to the national flags, so the ones that i do remember are of the most well-known countries

    As a French, I begin to have questions about the lessons in the USA schools honestly. We clearly don't learn the same thing and I thought we were kind of famous but I guess no... Nethertheless, continue what you are doing, that is réal fun !

      Be careful, we could also make a selection of the most idiotic answers from French people on geography questions. I think we could find some that are as silly as those of US Americans taken at random...

Name a subject you think we’re not taught. Switzerland isn’t even bigger than some of our smallest states if you take our best state at education and placed it next to Switzerland it would be a lot closer or better statistically y’all Europeans keep forgetting how big the USA is.

    Well, we are not sure how selective that video was put together. I mean: did the author just use the worst answers and left the good ones out? I'm German and I'm pretty sure that if I'd go out and ask the same questions, I could make up some weird answers, too. So I'd rather consider it as many people don't care or know than just saying any American doesn't know it.
