  • Maps I find Ridiculous Check out my other CZcams channels below! @JackSucksAtLife @JackSucksAtStuff @JackMasseyWelsh @JackSucksAtClips @nocontext @GeogStuff
    on JackSucksAtGeography we upload a range of easy to watch & sometimes educational geography related content. I have successfully learned all 197 countries and flags of the world. I also look at interesting maps to teach us more about different parts of the world and their culture. On this channel I also play Geoguessr.

    I love how Jack tries to demonstrate how good he is at German by holding a conversation that basically goes:
    "Hello, how are you?"
    "I'm, thanks. What about you?"

      No, it doesn't mean that. "Republica oriental AL uruguay" o "Republica AL oriente del uruguay" would mean that.
      Republica oriental del uruguay just means "Eastern Republic of the uruguay", because it borders it and the other two countries that do border it already had other names.

    • @MadJaz

      Iirc, word "chai" was brought to europe and then to near east by portuguese traders. But then later the dutch started selling tea too, but they were buying it from different region of china that had different pronouncing of the word

    • @DancingAndDreaming
      @DancingAndDreaming Před rokem +8

      @@aaclovern9804 I read something about that, but I can't quite remember. It was something like this: most tea that came by sea came through a port where it was called "te", which then became tea, thé, Tee, etc. Tea that was traded over the land routes came from a different region where it was called "chai", and thus the countries that bought tea through the land routes adopted that term.
      My memory is foggy, like I said, but it was something in that vein.

      its chai if the country/language has more eastern/islam influences, for example the balkans call it chai because of influence from the ottoman empire. All the way from eastern europe to pretty eastern asia, most countries will call it something adjacent to chai.

    @demo2823 Před rokem +58

    2:11 Hey Jack, being fluent in more than one language isn't difficult at all, so long as you grew up with it. Outside the USA and some culturally homogenous places like Japan, you won't be considered smart or dumb based on how many languages you can speak. It's more of a circumstances of birth and upbringing thing.
    Learning a new language as an adult is challenging, true, and even more so if you were previously monolingual. I've found that a lot of monolingual people haven't fully conceptualized how different different languages are, and if you don't 'get' that, you won't 'get' the language. They don't understand that direct translations are not accurate translations, for example, or how idioms are not universal, or how you sometimes don't have a word for something or have different homonyms. Some can't even consider different grammar rules and translate sentences word-by-word. And often they can't even touch a sound not in their home language.
    Still, even though this 'incompetence' can look kind of dumb to those of us so used to different languages, while many Americans are in awe about people who can do something they can't multiple times over, but I don't think it is up to intelligence. It's just a part of the brain that didn't get developed from childhood, that will have little affect on your life otherwise.
    I applaud you for taking on what is probably the hardest skill for you to pick up based on your background.

      agreed! usually people learn several languages from their environments they were raised in anyway. and young brains are great at language retention. i speak english and french and i’m canadian and people get shocked … as if those aren’t the two national languages lol. usually people here grow up in communities that speak either or, not both (unless you’re from new brunswick or some parts of ontario)

    • @reidleblanc3140

      yeah, studying linguistics really helps. But even with a background in Latin and linguistics, learning another language is still hard. It's mostly the speaking part for me. Reading and writing is pretty easy.

    • @stupiditiusmaximus
      @stupiditiusmaximus Před rokem +1

      I don't like being that guy but, "how different different languages are" is a grammatically incorrect phrase, you need to take the second "different" out of the phrase. It would only work with two "different"s if there was a comma between them, but that would change the meaning of the sentence "how different different languages are" is in.

    You where lucky with the flat landing in The Netherlands, as you where looking in a part where the surroundings are well above sea level. A bit more to the east and you've had hills up to 85 meters. And a bit more to the west you would have the Sallandse heuvelrug with hills up to 75 meters. Off course those hills are low compared to hills and mountains in other countries, but if you're standing next to a building who is 85 meters of height, that is a pretty tall building.
