Even though she didn’t win the money, the girl by herself had the best accent out of all of them! She must have worked really hard to achieve that, it’s really impressive!
Why is an American accent seen as important?
@@user-zi1kr4kd1v it’s only important as the one she obviously studied. By best accent I meant that she had the least trace of her original language (Japanese) present while speaking English. If she had had a British or Australian accent or any other major English speaking accent, I would have still given her the compliment. 🙄 No one else cares that hers happened to be American.
@@user-zi1kr4kd1v is it seen like that? I just thought the person was just complimenting her.
@@SolHati0828 it was just because he said best accent not best American accent ( because we all have accents ) and also I like hearing people's accents when they speak English.
@@user-zi1kr4kd1v she was talking about their accent, the people they interviewed, not accent in general.
I love how many people were scared of "E"s at the end of words and just gave "violin" an "E" just because.
its like me trying to spell french words lmao
@@MoistYoghurt lmao true, also nice pfp ;)
I hope he told them violin with an E at the end would change the sound of the i so it would sound like line
The Bonus "E".
It's because in Japanese, every sound is written with 1 letter or 2 letters.
There is never a word in Japanese where "book" is read as one word, they have to convert that to "bokku" in Japanese going by their languange rule.
Even violin to them is read as ba-i-o-rin (not with L or V). Coz some english letters dont exist in jp.
Those 3 dudes are adorable AF. I love how they collectively lost brain cells trying to pronounce 'Rhythm'!!!🤣😂
bro won the looks genetic lottery with his Japanese/Korean/Russian mix
for real
fr
Korean and Russian combined is a good mix... And he has Japanese blood as well? How lucky can he be damn. Must be popular growing up...
Yet he looks like a full Japanese person. Guessing the Russian part is very minimal
1:18 GG bro actually looks kinda cute ngl
the girl who studied in paris and switzerland had a really good american accent! her english was super good
Hmmm maybe he had american friend studied there
Yeah i noticed her accent too lol
Yes but I wonder why she couldn’t spell simple words though she has a good accent
Might be she's just tourist and she looks like Chinese
It's most likely because speaking, reading, and writing and quite different. There's plenty of people who can speak or understand languages without knowing how to read or write them
Having learned a bit of Japanese I completely understand where their thought processes are with how words are spelt. The jump from Japanese to English and vice versa is quite different and difficult
It's a common issue when you try to use your native language to try to bridge the gap between languages. When studying languages it's better to work from a blank slate as much as possible. The moment you think "this is similar to that from my language" you are screwed.
@@CottidaeSEA That’s something I had to do when I began learning Japanese. I had to break that habit because the second I tried to compare it to English I would make common mistakes all the time, especially when working with a different sentence structure. We ended up basically starting from square one with elementary Japanese learning hiragana first and then working on word order and breaking the habits ingrained from English. I’m still considered a beginner in Japanese but I’m trying to get better with it.
Yeah especially with how they pronounce some words. Its different from english. Like they say “shrimp” like “shurimpu” so ofc they would have trouble
the problem builds up at phonetics as japanese have simple syllables which make them think that it might* be this etc etc
@@NeetuSingh_7 That is one of the reasons why I believe it is important to properly teach phonetics in school. I can read phonetics and understand how to say a word, regardless of language. Because phonetics are universal.
This was so fun to watch. My favorite was the "we're dead bro" at 3:27 and then 6:41 with "**** that was embarrassing" LOL
the subtitles arent exact translations but they definitely add to the humour lol
Do part 3 these are great! Also next time bring a marker and whiteboard so they can test their writing too!
We appreciate these street interviews. The people you meet just have interesting insights to share.
I just started teaching English in Japan a few months ago. I loved this video! It's not even a patch on what I come across in the classroom. Sometimes I literally have no idea what kids are writing. The struggle is real (for them and myself)
I love how he scares them all with "final answer?"
The 3 guys were so funny it's adorable. Please do more of this. I enjoyed it so much! ☺️🤍
We need more of this! I like how they are so honest about their level of English. Dope video.
To be fair, I'm a native English speaker and I often misspell rhythm and diarrhea
I absolutely love these street interviews, they’re always so much fun to watch
The woman at 7:22 (and earlier timestamps) has such amazing pronunciation of the English words. Very impressive, doesn't even sound like she's not English-native.
Yeah there’s no way she picked that up from living abroad. With an accent that native, she had to have grown up speaking.
From watching your Tiktoks when you still lived in Canada to watching you here on CZcams making really good content, I'm really glad you grown so much in such short little time😁🙏
Lol this was awesome.. It’s my dream to visit Japan so it’s cool to watch these kinds of videos showing how the people are. Thanks for sharing. 💪🏽
Loved this content. Do more coz its very entertaining.
They are spelling so nicely 🥺❤️ they all are very nice ❤❤❤❤
this was fun, wish to see more of this.
love japan and i loved the vid.
Wow the girl with the grey coat is really pretty, she looks like an idol. Also I really enjoyed the video, keep up with the amazing content!
This was fun! Thanks for making these! It also helps me to better appreciate English language learners’ struggles; I can see how it would be challenging. My suggestions for other words are subpoena, beautiful, vague, or daiquiri…hopefully they aren’t too mean lol.
Subpoena and Daiquiri are the meanest words I've ever seen 😭
this is so entertaining to watch,😂
This was cool. That last one was always going to be hard given the whole r/l situation with Japanese (which I am required to say does NOT exist in Chinese or Korean). Still this was fun, and that girl sounded hella fluent.
I love watching these street interviews.
please do video on are you happy in japan?
Amazing.
Good luck always 👍👍
I love content like this. Funniest thing i saw this year was Henya trying to spell US states.
This was so good. Being under pressure like this, I'd probably second guess myself too 😅
Great video again
3:23 the most epic "yes" I have heard
THESE ARE HILIAROUS plz make more haha
The basketball skills at the end though were impressive, and random? とても面白いww ♡
as always nice video
Back with my favorite challenge lmao
the three dudes are hilarious loll
where is that rooftop at 5:06?? looks pretty cool. also the girl in the back her dance moves. lol
so fun.. more of this pls .. ^_^
love this channel
6:50 "yabe dasse ore" i wasn't the only one who kept rewatching this right
Amazing video!!
I'm going to Tokyo this week, let's collab on something :D
try asking them to spell colonel lol
I just watch you on "Oriental Pearl" and that video was so fun to watch. This video is fun too. I was in the Air Force stationed on Okinawa in 1985/86. I used to live in Indiana at Grissom AFB. As far as mix race goes, you have done well and fit in where ever you go. Great Japanese and your English is perfect. It was good to see you. You made my day.
As I am trying to learn Korean in my vacations. So, I realized that they speak 'L' as 'R'. I think so that same goes for japanese as well
Where can i get your sweater?? Looks fire
I was so pumped cheering everyone on! I'm studying Japanese and as a native English speaker it's so hard - can't even imagine what it's like the other way around with all our silly silent letters and inconsistent spelling patterns.
Dude at the end got them ball skills lmao
The different variations of violin were valid lolll
naur the lism threw me off coz it makes sense T-T i love this video
as a native, i always spell rhythm wrong lmao
Same! That silly hidden H😅
3:31 ✨violence✨
It's understandable considering in Japan English isn't necessary to know and their alphabet is completely different to our latin one.
Yo can someone tell me what the Russian/Jap/Korean mix at 1:18 is wearing? I want that drip
I had to google how much 1,000 yen was in US dollars. That was way too hard for $7! 🤣
Way too hard for about £5! 😂
2:21, those girls on the left doing a TiK Tok dance (?) LMAO.
Love for level 3 he gives a word that fluent English speakers can't even spell😂
9:01 They wear the same pullover, right? 😂❤
Watching vids like this reminds me of my japanese middle school days Damn I miss my japanese friends. I had to move to Australia after middle school and now my english is better than my japaneselol
It's reminded me of "I have a bad case of diarrhea song" 😂
8:07 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 OMG I LOVE HIM. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
"if their education paid of" 🤣
they're so cute!!!!
Dude... I remember when a White American girl came back to school from summer break and was like, "how do you spell 'No' and 'Yes'?" At the time it angered me so much that I had to waste time in an ESL class just because I speak English as a second language. 🤦♀ With that said... I probably would have failed this challenge despite being born and raised in the US. 🤣 All of them did amazing while being put on the spot~ 👍
This was fun to watch!
I feel for Shota, I wouldn’t be able to spell diarrhea either 😂
Everyone at least had that one time where they had difficulty spelling out Diarrhea and i only got it correct becuz of this vid
6:45 felt that
Some of us use these vids to practice Japanese comprehension :) thanks Jesse and team! Can someone explain to me why it sounds like he says “seikai desu” even for wrong answers? Either he is trolling them or I am not hearing the correct word? THANKS!
He's saying "fuseikai" (不正解) for the wrong answers, as opposed to "seikai" (正解). Fuseikai means incorrect as you might imagine.
@@soul133 THANKS!!
@@kavyarao2020 You put Fu for the opposite, just like "benri -> Fuben"
"Majime - Fumajime" etc
Oh thanks!!
I'll start spelling Violin like Violrine
when u said Rhythm I immediately thought of Red Velvet's song :D xD
“2000 years later” 🤣
I wonder if it would help give the etymology/origin of the words.
man that guy with the black jacket that won with his friend at the end looks really handsome, wonder if he has IG
That mixed guy was so Handsome
I like to watch you and Shota that don’t want to lose at the end 😂😂
Just wondering, what is the difference between "Correct" and "incorrect" in Japanese?
I know 正解 is for correct answers, but what is the tone difference for both words?
不正解 incorrect, it has one more character than 正解 correct
正解→seikai
不正解→fuseikai
fuが聞き取れるかどうかです
That girls accent is incredible, weird where she studied but as a British person it's obvious she has a clear defined American accent. If she spoke to me in English I wouldn't be able to work out she was actually a native Japanese person.
Being native in english, I have ALWAYS struggled with spelling "rhythm" and "rhyme". I always want to but a random 'e' in rhythm and a random 't' in rhyme...
I even struggled spelling those while commenting this omg x'D
Bro, Christmas has a t in it
Rhythm
Helps
Your
Two
Hips
Move
lism is the new way to spell rhythm from now
I hope youtubers did dis also in korea lol
I've been speaking English my whole damn life. It's my first language. Even if you hold a gun to my head I will NEVER be able to spell Rhythm correct on my first try LOL
5:44 “violeenee” 💀😹
"I studied abroad"
"Really what country"
"Paris"
dude I'm a native english speaker who's won a state spelling competition twice and I don't think I could spell diarrhea right on the first try out loud
make them spell island lmao
I feel that girl about the word rhythm. I used to struggle spelling it for yrs. Just look at it. English why??? 😭
Them struggling with e at the end of words is me struggling with うat the end of words in Japanese.
Try the word restaurant
I wanna meet every person in this video 😭
When I was a kid, I would always use rhythm as a hangman word, because nobody knows how to spell it.
ngl the mixed guy was so handsome
1:25 Korean and Lotion
Can you guys tell me what word in japanese he uses for wrong answer? It sounds pretty much the same as seikai for the right answer. I'm confused
different japanese and english just like ✨isekai✨
I would have failed at 'violin' too because it's written 'Violine' in german. 😅
To be honest I have to correct rhythm often LOL
Please dont ask them if its final answer, if they said it correctly, immediately say its correct, Or they might change their answer and they feel like very bad about themselves
