Jesus Christ saved my life he can save yours to. No body is perfect we all have sinned fallen short of the glory of God, except Jesus Christ. So he was the perfect sacrifice for the world and he became that sacrifice. So that we can be perfect in God’s eyes all we need to do is. Repent from our sinful wicked ways and surrender our life’s to him. Jesus Christ. Repent meaning acknowledge and forsake your sins. Know you have sinned and know you are not good in God’s eyes. (Until you accept his gift of salvation. You will be seen perfect in his eyes because Jesus Christ paid the price.)Forsake meaning do not sin. (You may stumble but just rely on the Lord he’s got you in Jesus name.) We have to be clean and filled with the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ said we must be born again of the spirit to enter The Kingdom of Heaven. (John 3:3) !
God bless you all. I love you all may you all find Jesus Christ as your Lord Savior .
God bless brothas and sisters ❤❤! Thank God ❤️❤😊😊

i think the french girl knew all of them , she spoke very good english and seemed to know all the words and spelling but gave the rest a chance too :)
for realll i was looking for comments like this... like i kinda felt bad for her at a point cause she had to refrain from answering questions she knew the answer to. :')
She has defo the best english there
yes she always had her hands up but she was never took
true, she was so kind
She actually know how to speak english she is an influencer in fRance
Actually Takuto wasn't bad in the telephone game, I think a fluent person would understand him with no problem.
i can understand takuto pretty well, and im native english
@wittykitty
me too
the problem is that he doesn't understand others
EXACTLYYYY
agreed, i just think it’s more difficult for the non-native speakers to understand his pronunciation because they don’t make the same inferences as we do
The Japanese guy who doesn't know English but he tries to do the best he can in the game. Well done
that’s takuto ! hehe
I think he’s Korean despite the title… when he speaks, he speaks in Korean (If we’re talking about the 2nd guy)
@@mr.potato2399 the both of them are actually japanese, they're kpop singers in korea that's why they speak korean, they are from an all japanese kpop group called TOZ.
@@maiiapacomio6202 Ah that makes a lot of sense actually. I figured the title just got it wrong mb 😭
He's literally so sweet 😭
i was rooting for the japanese guy because he seems to know the least english but he is surprisingly good at pronunciation
Bro did so good, and his accent is so cute too 😭😭😭
where did the second one get his jumper from
He’s so cute, English words are just hard for Japanese😭
Takuto did so well!!! I'm proud 💖 Also, Haruto was so funny while being stressed over the telephone level part of the game lmao
how tf do y'all know their names, who is who?
@@kokobi7482 well takuto is the japanese guy and I'm pretty sure haruto is the guy who was the one telling the words to the players (the fluent English guy).
Is Takuto a minor?
@@altsam9 yes, he was born in 2007.
@@kokobi7482they’re from the same band.
i feel bad for the quiet guy. bro was trying his best, other guy was kinda being rude. but they all looked like they had fun
yeah he was being a bit too harsh on them cause it looked like the knew but just struggled with pronunciation
they are friends hehe and in a group together! he truly doesn’t mean harm and just being playful ❤
@@ace-asce Ooohhhh still hate the first guy for doing it tho. Like Jesus that's beyond being playful it was so rudeeee the second guy was doing his hardest and even wasnt that bad like the first guy said, literally without a doubt anyone would've understood what he says in English. Like the amount of discrediting was a bit overstepping :^ he even went that far to call him a villain of this group despite being on the side of the better English understanding ones
@@UnkownWonders Hate is a strong word. I do agree that he was being a little rude, but that may have to do with English being his 2nd or 3rd (can’t remember exactly) language. His choice of words were blunt, and they were more impactful. Might have to do with his English courses, and how he was taught to speak in English. It’s genuinely not that serious, and he said he was ONE of the villains. He wasn’t singling him out, and honestly the first guy just wanted the game to go smoother. Also villain, in this situation, doesn’t rlly have that much of a negative connotation. It was said with a lighthearted tone that doesn’t match with actual contempt. You’re putting yourself into the second guy’s position, and using your own perspective and thoughts so ofc it seems mean or rude. He’s a stranger to you, so you have no real connection with him. The guy in the video didn’t seem all that affected 🤷♀️
@@budum3 did we watch the same video?? Cuz ain't no way you telling me this wasn't personal. Literally he been trash talking him the entire time while he couldn't even hear him WDYMMM. Also to everyone else he was like omg it's ok you tried it's fine you miss heard it and then when it comes to him he the entire fucking Video went it's all his fault he can't even speak English he is the reason we fail
I love Haruto's sass and Takuto's bright, innocent eyes are so adorable! TOZ fighting!!
wow i thought you said something completely different for a sec
Takuto's eyes were like doe eyes- he was trying to hard it was very impressive. The Japanese don't use 'ss' sounds, so that was a bit of a struggle
I don't know them but "I will do my best :3" broke my heart, someone give him a hug right now 😭😭😭
This is so fake.
@@jeupater1429 ?
0:43 "I think he's going to ruin this game but okay" did no one else get a weird vibe from that? didn't even let takuto try and his pronunciation ended up being fine😭 idk if its just me, no one else is commenting on it.
I don’t think he meant it in a negative way and maybe he didn’t expect him to actually be good but who knows
@@mingkoos yeah I was thinking that it's just the enunciation that puts me off. that and the choice of saying it like 'he's gonna ruin this game' is a lot more negative than 'i think he might struggle'
@@glencoconutAlthough he’s fluent in English it’s also not his first language so maybe that was the only choice of words he could put together in that moment. I’m just trying to give the benefit of the doubt I guess lol. I do agree with you though, the choice of words could’ve been better
@@mingkoos oh thanks for letting me know his pronunciation is so good I didn’t even think english wasn’t his first language. you’re right to give him the benefit of the doubt i think
Yea I did but he was so supportive of the other Spanish girl which was kinda weird to me
This video shows a very interesting phenomenon in language learning: Japan and many other countries in (Eastern) Asia focus almost entirely on spelling and some reading. You don't usually say anything in class (in your target language) and listening practice is hardly ever done either. So they are often very competent at spelling things or gathering meaning from text, but barely able to express themselves verbally or understand other speakers. They often tend to learn formulaic phrases by heart (whole sentences or at least sentence elements like phrases). So when something only *roughly* fits their situation, they can have trouble changing the details of what they're saying to truly fit their situation. You may find a Japanese learner of English who has studied the language for ten years and can express himself flawlessly in work emails about highly technical and complicated topics, but struggles to do something as basic verbally as ordering at a restaurant.
Most (Central) European countries on the other hand choose a more well-rounded approach with a stronger focus on communication. You can easily find first-year learners of English who will already have had enough practice in speaking and listening to carry on a (simple) conversation with someone. School typically teach in the target language from the start, so you may walk into your first ever English class in a German school and the teacher will communicate *exclusively* in English. Their learners' vocabulary is usually less deep and much broader, meaning that they know fewer words over all but can generally choose the best words for their specific situation, making communication, especially rapid spontaneous production of verbal output, fairly easy. You may find a German learner of English who has studied the language for ten years, can hold a verbal conversation about everyday topics at a level near-indistinguishable from a native speaker (accents notwithstanding) but will struggle to write a text on very specialised technical topics.
As a German who learned english since 1st grade, this is highly accurate. I consider myself nearly fluent, but I've been reading english books since 4th grade and always watch movies or series in english, what definitly helped me more than the English lessons we received at school. Also, maybe the number of lessons varies from country to country (where I live it's two 90 minute lessons per week), even in Germany some start learning English from 1st grade on like I did, some from 3rd grade, and some only start at 5th grade. I also had a very competent English teacher during elementary school, I was one of the best when I entered middle school. It highly depends on the environment, but it's definitly true that our English is more broader and less specific
@@shiberoffical another German here! Yes this exactly. I started having English classes in 3rd grade and used to not be great (not bad, but also not good) until about 7th grade because up to that point we did a lot of vocabulary work (writing them down, having tests on just them etc) and I'm a practical learner and can't sit down an just learn a bunch of words by heart with no actual use to them. But once we were past that initial "building a vocabulary" phase I started getting better and started consuming more and more media in English too, to a point where now I've gotten compliments by native speakers who didn't wanna believe its basically just school English paired with consuming media and learning from that, as well as compliments on my pronunciation. Guess having friends to talk to in English helps as well. Most of my friends are pretty fluent English speakers as well and we talk in English in varying amounts, from slipping the occasional sentence in to almost exclusively talking in English because we are just able to word things much better in English, especially on topics we've mostly learned about in English lmao
Great analysis honestly. To be frank, telephone game even in English yields wild results. It's so much fun to see it mixed with English speakers from other languages
Fecking accurate
We also have this problem learning foreign language in America! The teachers are constantly trying to get us to focus on communication, but because the curriculum is geared around reading and writing, we wind up good at that (I can read at a high level in French!) and bad at the rest (I can't understand native French speakers at all because they go so fast lol).
As an american who is a native english speaker, i always thought english was the easiest language the speak. Well, i’m realizing that english can be just as difficult for non-native english speakers as it is for non-english languages can be for native english speakers.
It is indeed one of the easiest languages to learn, due to easy gramatic rules, not having genre for articles, etc. The only thing that might be a bit complicated at the beginning is that it doesn’t have clear pronunciation rules
You are correct. It all depends on your mother tongue. Some languages in general are more difficult than others due to grammar. English has a medium to large collection of vowel sounds, and the TH consonant sound which is not very common. Grammar-wise it's not too hard to get to a pre-intermediate level, however English is difficult to learn to read due to complicated spelling- it's better to first acquire a good base vocabulary and nail pronunciation first as this will prevent problems later on. It also has phrasal verbs- if you speak a language like German or Mandarin, phrasal verb constructions won't seem so bad, but if you speak a latin language or a language with highly inflected verbs, phrasal verbs look very strange.
The grammar is indeed easy, but so is the grammar in chinese, which is even more simple actually! It depends of how close your mother tongue is to the language you’re learning in terms of vocabulary and grammar too! My first language being french, even if it’s a latin language and english is a germanic one, they have looots of similar words. So when i hear, let’s say “cardiology”, i know what it means as it’s “cardiologie” in french. For someone talking a totally different language, they’ll have to learn way more totally new words than me.
Also personally what helped me learning english is how easy it is to surround yourself with it, as it is a language widely used for communication online. So despite never living abroad, you can kinda “immerse” yourself in it!
Depends on your mother tongue. English is not a phonetic language. You dont read words the way they are spelled
I speak several languages, and English was super easy to learn. I actually watched the series« six feet under » with English subtitles and after a few seasons I was able to speak English!
Not me realizing how hard the English language actually is while watching this lol
Fr
As non native english speaker english is actually one of the easiest languages to learn
english is one of the easiest languages to learn what do you mean..😭😭
English is pretty easy
I said this before the language English is considered a hard language and a lot of Americans wanted to argue with me and some foreigners. I told them that you have to understand why English is considered hard, because not only that our grammar sometimes has some words that sound alike in the dictionary, there’s also certain ways to pronounce them that would make English hard. And they could still fight me on it. I said what I said, and this is coming from an English speaker, because sometimes us English speakers That are born and raise in freaking English speaking countries, struggle with it and have to go to speech therapy to get shit right.
If that wasn’t the case, a lot of foreigners that has English as their second language that speak other language that is not English, wouldn’t have an accent that’s literally battling the language like that and you would be able to understand them with no issue. 🤔
Takuto is so precious 🥺 I'm so glad he has Hart with him to help him out
Takuto was so confused but learned quickly and he was so cute
Actually takuto did a good job. He really copied and pasted well what he heard 😊
Agreed
Okay but Haruto is such a CZcamsr, he should defo have his own CZcams channel haha💙 and Takuto is really sweet and tried his best, I'm proud of himmm TOZ fighting!!
Main Character vibes for sure
What’s toz?
@@litzyantero5274 TOZ is a Japanese boygroup. The boys from the video (Haruto and Takuto) and 2 of the 4 members
@@phrhann isn't haruto the one who learned english from watching spongebob LOL if that's true his pronunciation is amazing, i would've thought english was his first language.
@@thebxsketcxsenah haruto lived in the us for a while
The Spanish and Italian lady struggled a lot here. Honestly I thought the guy takuto did a really good job. But he kept getting called out by that sassy fella...the French girl sounded like English was her native tongue to be fair. But this was entertaining to watch. I hope the boy in the sweatshirt learns English because he can do it! ❤ Love from India
The fact that it went from “can i go to the bathroom😄” to “she sells sea shells by the seashore” in 1 round 😭
I loved the "When did she become a fisher?😨" part
"The squats read the squats...Why are you doing squats...?" killed me💀
I’m American and I don’t get the squat one 🤦🏼♀️
Thats a new tongue twister to me
Okay but can we recognize how smart the Italian lady is?!? She speaks Italian, English, sign language, Korean, and I’m not sure if I heard her throwing in some Japanese but 👀 she’s awesome! 🎉
Edit: guys I never specified on which sign language she was using 🙃 ASL isn’t the only sign language there is and since I’m not sure which one she’s using I didn’t specify it for that reason! Common sense no?
I'm not sure what sign language she was using though. Not ASL. Maybe BSL?
@@megn5148 id imagine the italian variant
Actually its not the official italian sign language, but a way to communicate letters with your body, some are easier to understand like putting down your hand with only 3 fingers outstretched for a M or 2 for a N, while some are hard, like touching the lower tip of your earlobe to indicate a G or use two fingers to trace both sides of the outline of the eye at the same time to indicate an E.
Usually its taught by mothers to their kids in their early school years.
Source: being an italian kid
@@minakoperegrinus2636wouldn't that just be the italian sign language alphabet? or is that different?
@@rosie2871I used to call it 'mute alphabet' (alfabeto muto) when I was little. Let's say it's like talking in code with your friends using movements and your hands. The official Italian Sign Language has different and more specific hand gestures
France is always the first one to raise the hand but they didn’t let her because she’s like a native English speaker
I wanted them to call on her every so often rather than ignoring her like they did
Yeah they shouldn't have picked her for a game with supposed non English speakers lol
I think they did pick her but it was cut, maybe? Since she's already good enough as an English speaker so the editors might have cut her parts out?
she didnt sound close to native lol but she is really good at English
Non native it says, ofc she's best cause french people learn English from being very small @@synkaan2167
Takuto did the second one perfectly. That tongue twister is difficult but he pronounced it verbatim the first time he relayed it. He was falsely accused of messing it up he did great overall!😭
The Spanish lady messed up. However, her predecessor didn't repeat sentences
Takuto is so sweet and did so good , my boy had no faith in him 💀💀
"She's a fisher by the T-shirt"
I'm 💀🤣🤣🤣
Takuto is the most adorable thing ive ever seen 😭 his excited clapping when he would get something right i cant🥰
THE WAY SHANNON GOT SHE SELLS SEASHELLS BY THE SEA SHORE WITH THAT SO IMPRESSIVE
All of them except the french one speak languages with much smaller vowel inventories than English. That's why this was so difficult.
Castillan spanish has significantly less phonemes than english with the same quantity of vowel phonemes as japanese. But they have a better time at accuracy than the french do and definitely more than the japanese. I assure you.
The biggest problem is HOW they are listening and learning the sounds.
English speakers always mispronounce simple japanese vowels all the darn time wgen reading solely romaji, but found that they could enunciate it properly when reading only hiragana/katakana characters with no romaji.
Some people may be instinctively applying their native language sound rules to things they see and hear.
Take jackie chan for example who (in early career) spoke English with all the words at once, without pause (gosh darn chinese breathe between your words. Breathe!). Its not that his pronunciation was wrong, but his melody was completely incorrect.
And unless your language is tonal like chinese mando/canto, all languages have a specific melody. Hence why babies come crying in the melody of their mothers language the very day they are born (language learning starts in the womb).
Yeah...babies cry in accents/dialects. Hilarious to think about.
And Japanese...have very poor teaching methods for English. For other languages? Who knows.
@@LilyUnicorn I was with you until "And unless your language is tonal like chinese mando/canto, all languages have a specific melody" because Chinese languages most definitely DO have their own melody as well? Ever heard of tone sandhi? It's when the tones of words and phrases change literally so they can be more melodic. I'll give you Cantonese since apparently Cantonese avoids tone sandhi the most, but besides that tonal languages are actually some of the most strict languages when it comes to producing melodies. Especially the tonal languages of Africa. Those guys don't play
haruto looks so proud of takuto whenever he gets it right! cuties
ハルトのMCが上手すぎて初めてとは思えない！タクトも頑張っててかわいかったー！！
またこういうの観たいのでお願いします！
#1 was so rude to #2 😢
Right?? Speaking English as a non-native language is hard, especially if you’re from a monoculture like Japan. He did really well considering and I wish the first guy would have had a bit more faith in him.
Maybe Italy struggles with pronunciation, sure, but no one can beat them on Spelling. Bravo everyone! As a native English speaker trying to learn new languages, I applaud how much this group already knows. I will work harder to speak better.
Did you know that "Bravo" is an italian word? Sorry if I correct you, but since with everyone you indicate two or more people you need to transform "Bravo" into "Bravi" that is the plural form of it, but if you indicate a group of girls then it's "Brave" because it changes gender then if you want to indicate a girl you need to use "Brava" bc it changes gender but this one is singular! Sorry if I made some mistakes but as you migth understood I'm italian!
@@fnaflover83The more you know 😆
Aida is so kind to let the others a chance ❤🇫🇷
😂😂😂 We did this in our English class, too. So funny. 25 students who all spoke English as a second language. 😂 We had so much fun that year in 6th grade. We weren't allowed to make sure the person got it, though, like they did at the beginning of this.
As an English teacher in Japan, I love how little faith dude has in Japan's English. Also, I find it funny that the ones who struggled a bit on telephone did so well in vocab and spelling. Maybe a commentary on the way we teach/study/learn languages. Lol
He'd clearly perfected "pear". His pronunciation was perfect.
Wowow Takuto did really well repeating what he heard. Maybe with some more practice, it makes me think that if he was talking in an environment outside of the game any English speaker would be able to understand him just fine.
Takuto was so cute trying to say the "she sells" sentence, my son :< and he did well! easy to understand imo
The clueless guy is super adorable 😢
Thank you for having TOZ on the channel! I occacionally watch the videos here, but it's especially fun when idols I like take part in them.
I'm guessing they maybe filmed another part before this one where they introduced themselves? I felt like this part was kinda confusing because there was no explanation at the start about everyone's nationalities and names, and what languages they speak (for me it wasn't so confusing because I know Hart and Takuto, but I imagine that those who don't know them won't understand they're Japanese idols, Hart speaks English + Japanese + Korean fluently, and Takuto basically only speaks Japanese, knows some Korean enough for basic communication and barely knows English, I think).
takuto really doesn't know any english at all which is kinda impressive when he manages to pronounce things well 😭
Thanks for this information!
I didn’t understand who is the one from Korea cuz everyone could speak Korean, and I was really confused 😂
I also wondered why they are so cool, but now I know they are an idol!
@@louis_X I think that this channel's videos are filmed in Korea, so most of the guests live there and speak Korean reasonably well (many are fluent). That's why there are people from different nationalities and they usually have Korean and/or English as their common language.
And to give you a little more context, the group TOZ, that Hart and Takuto are a part of, is a 4-member boy group. They're all Japanese, but they all took part in the Korean survival show Boys Planet. Since they're under a Korean company, I believe they're still going to make their Korean debut, but for now they have one mini album in Japanese. I suggest you check out their music video, Magic Hour 😊
@@naofgTOZ is made up of one full Japanese member, two Japanese Americans and a Filipino Japanese member.
France definitely knew all of them 😭
I felt the same way too. Like, why is he so mean to Takuto but incredibly forgiving to Sarah when Takuto barely made any mistakes relaying the message whilst Sarah did on her round???
Like, he didn't just ignore Takuto doing so well; he even devalued Takuto's efforts by calling him a villain... even though Haruto witnessed the mistakes happened somewhere else. Just feels so passive aggressive. English is my third language, and even I know how passive aggressiveness sounds in all the languages I can speak. There's no mistake in his choice of words
I’m pretty sure he was just teasing Takuto bc they’re in the same boy group and are actually quite close! Haruto is known to be a bit sassy but it’s all light heartedly 🥲
4:10 The first guy’s expressions makes it even better 😂
Thank you so much Awesome World for inviting TOZ Haruto and Takuto, I really enjoyed the video, they are very entertaining, cute and funny, I hope to see them again on this channel in the futur. For all people new to TOZ, please listen to their first mini album and watch their music video Magic Hour. This group is full of talent and they will bring a lot of joy into you, they fr are the best :)
TOZ I love you
I think Takuto exactly has the potential! Just need the right tutor coz he already got the spirit to learn. And he is so bright!! Wow
This video is a great example of why accent matters for communication across speakers from different backgrounds. Lots of people act like the only reason to try to get a mainstream accent is because Americans are racist jerks, and while we certainly have a lot of those here, there is value in having some more consistency to pronunciation even when Americans are not involved because it can be hard for speakers of English as a second language to even communicate with each other when they're from different language backgrounds!
English speakers are at least used to many different accents, so they can understand better. In my language (Czech) when you have some accent, nobody understands you at all, when you say some schwa sound insteaf of E or A, it's not understandable, or when you can't hear the difference between long and short vowels or difference between H and CH, you can say totaly different word then. 😀 So, yes, I consider English pronunciation pretty hard, but when you don't say it perfectly, it can be still understandable, but that doesn't work in many other languages. I absolutely hate it when I meet some American or Russian at street and he is trying to say something in Czech and I don't want to offend him by sayng I can't understand anything, so I am really trying, but I still don't understand anyrthing, so we have to switch to English. 🙂
With English, I understand non native speakers even better than native English speakers, especially British speakers are really hard to understand. Only exception are Asians, especialy Inds, I can't understand anything what they say.
@@Pidalinexcellent points as well. I think about that part too about depending on the language some people have way less experience with foreign accents in their native language than English speakers do. Even as a native speaker of English with a lot of exposure to foreign accents, I am still much better with the specific ones I’ve heard before and have recent practice listening to. I know a lot of Chinese people from school and can understand them fairly well, but then I met a Nigerian guy and really struggled to understand what he was saying because I had less exposure to his accent even though he was more proficient in English than a lot of the Chinese students. Funny thing is, they Chinese and Yoruba (Nigerian) non-native speakers of English could understand each other pretty well but they all struggled with understanding Spanish and Indian accents in English, which I understand pretty well. I think similarity (or dissimilarity) to English and familiarity/exposure are both big factors.
@@AutumnSwatches
Yeah, it's definitely about exposure.
We have actually a lot of regional accents and dialects + a lot of Slovaks (which is very close language that we can understand it mostly), but sometimes when I go to part of my country where I am not that often and it's on totaly opposite side of the country, I can have problem to understand them even when they are native speakers of my language.
I am used to Vietnamese people, because we have a lot of them here, but I still struggle with many Russian speakers, which could be a surprise for someone, because it's the same language group as Czech and still, I understand better Vietnamese than Russians, it's definitely about exposure, because you go to Vietnemse shops almost every day and younger generation is not that silent like their parents, they really talk to you, while when a Russian person turns all U sounds to V, it's really hard to realize what he is trying to say.
And ofcourse, when you speak with Vietnamese and you don't understand, you are trying to avoid saying that you don't understand to not offend them, while most of people is not that patient with other speakers, especially when you hear that accent mainly when someone wants a cigarette from you. 😀
@@Pidalinvery interesting. You have great insights. Even though you say Russians can be hard to understand, it probably helps that you have pinpointed some of their sound changes in your language. I find that often, being made explicitly aware of the pronunciation differences of an accent can help with the listening comprehension skills.
@@AutumnSwatches That helped me a lot with Polish speakers that I looked at their alphabet and learned (at least in a simplified way) how to read that, so I can now read Polish comments and with at least some experiences, I am now able to understand much more. But problem with Russian or Ukrainian is that they use cyrillic, so I can't read anything. 🙂
With English speakers trying to speak my language, sometimes I also understand only because of I can imagine why they pronounced something like they pronounced it, but when you pronounce J in English way, older person (who doesn't speak English at all) would never get it.
Hahaha haruto throughout this was so sassy and hilarious I love seeing him and takuto on this!
Im sure French had a lot of the answer. Just had to work on her speed to take the point 😂
She didn't want to ruin the game, she was obviously not a "non English speaker"
@@synkaan2167I mean I think they all learnt English as another language… she might not actually ‘speak’ it persay
Omg haruto was already good at English but this pronunciation today sounds so native
he lived for about 5 years in NY from when he was 5! he's actually said he's more comfortable with English than japanese, and from what I heard japanese speakers say he actually has a slight english speaking accent when speaking japanese even though it's technically his first language 😅 he considers english his "native" one
@@phosphenevisionhe only lived there until he was 5 and then moved to japan?? wow that’s crazy he’s still so good i thought he may of lived in the states for most of his childhood, i guess it makes sense though since they say the best time to learn a language is when you’re that young so he already has the vowels and things japanese would find hard to say down from a young age.
@@baracapyy no no he moved there WHEN he was 5 and lived in new jersey until he was like 11 or 12 when he moved back to Tokyo.He's not actually american on paper he just feels more american based on how he grew up and stuff 😭

“WHEN DID SHE BECOME A FISHER?” 😂😂😂 *Wheezing* BAHAHAHAHA.
OMG the Japanese guy is so cute! I think his understanding of written English is probably pretty good but just listening comprehension/ speaking are more difficult
2:19 man even English speakers struggle saying that so ik they would struggle 😂😂
God bless poor Takuto❤ he tried so hard
I've only seen a couple of these clips, but I love the interaction between the participants. They seem like a fun bunch!

Fascinating insight into language perception, thank you! 🌍🗣️
“I will try my best” love this guy!😂
'Why did she become a fisher'- I'm crying
protect takuto at all cost! my boy is pure and wholesome af.
Finally you have some different content than the words comparison! loved this episode!
8:25 in italian jar is “barattolo”, “bottiglia” means “bottle”❤️
That's what I was thinking
6:47 "chotto kenchalla" killed me💀
Girl spoke Japanese and korean but not English 😂
I dont think she spoke japanese 😭😭 takuto said chodeo mollayeo which is i dont know either in korean and the woman said chodeo gwenchanayo which id also korean
Can we just appreciate the huge jump between LV1 with a simple, common question and LV2 with a TONGUE TWISTER!?
I recognize Haruto from Boys Planet. Takuto is so innocent looking lol.
they debuted together in a group called TOZ, takuto is also from boys planet :) and anthonny and yuto from boys planet are in it too!
@@phosphenevision I was watching because Woongki was on it so I remembered the supercharger performance
I love Haruto sooo much, he did so well, and Takuto is so cute! fighting TOZ!!!
So happy to see Haruto and Takuto after so long!! last time I saw them was in Boys planet and I was so mad when they eliminated Haruto that I didn't continue watching the show!
theyre in a group together now along with antony
@@lubbyLBharuto is so cool what’s the group called i’m interested now

The Japanese guy tried so hard, he deserves an A. I was amazed by how well he did without speaking english fluently
She tried so hard to correct it but they insisted it was "bedroom"! 🤦♂️ 1:21
Can we all appreciate that Takuto was having to use letter sounds that don't even exist in his language? The others probably were too, but I only really know Japanese :) the japanese language doesn't have "ss" sounds, so that tongue twister was like making sounds that you have never made before purely from listening... impressive! To my understanding they only use "Sh" sounds and "Ts" sounds, no "ss". Good job to all of them, it was very entertaining :) English is hard for no reason LOL
takuto is so cute 😭😭 and ofc haruto being so iconic i love him
“She is a fisher by the disher” I can’t-😭✋
I lived with a woman who was studying English as a second language l. She spoke very well but she struggled a lot with “sh” “s” and “j”. I used this tongue twister to help her
こういうの見ると改めてデビューしたんだと実感する🥹
That was fun! Chinese Whispers or Telephone is always hilarious 😂 but kudos to everyone for doing their very best! ❤
It is fun because in France we call this game the arab telephone 😂
@jeanne9771 😄 it seems to be known as a lot of different names!
Love Haruto. He's very witty and direct. One of the good ones. Grats, Harry.
Haruto is totally good doing youtube content!🎉❤ And Takuto's korean is getting better or is it just me? XD
Oh that second one was too cruel! She sells sea shells by the sea shore is painful to say for even native speakers. I said it to myself, trying to repeat it slowly as if I wanted someone else to understand and that only made it more difficult to say than simply saying it fast.
Well tbh french raised her hand à lot of time but all the time they would ask Italy and french had the best accent so yhhh for me France is first
Did you see how Takuto sits? 😏💕very cuteeeeee!!!
動画伸びてて嬉しすぎ タルトset見てるだけで幸せだし次のカムバでも絶対また出演してほしい
*when did she become fisher* got me rolling on the floor😂
HELP I was like "wait a minute this cutie looks familiar" and then I realised it was Takuto 😭
3:59 this cracked me up 😭😭😭 why did she become a fisher lolll
This really hits home that a person NEEDS to be able to internally visualize
the meaning of the words they are saying in thier head to be able to remember to pass them on ...
( not just the sound of the words ) ...
Out of all the Awesome World videos I've seen, this one is my favorite. The Telephone game is the best part. It really shows how those who have English as a second language can inadvertently distort things due to their underlying phonetic bias of their native language. I hope they make more videos following this format. Like everyone said, it was a fun combination of challenge and silliness. Everyone wanted to have a rematch too ! ! Yes, let's have a rematch.
🌍 Crazy how English vibes differently everywhere! 🎶
Takuto es tan adorable.
ハルト多言語系の企画もっと出て欲しい！！
ポイント入って喜んでる拓斗可愛すぎねえかwwwww
Takuto and Hart! Lovely episode ♥
5:29 nema nisċta iṡa tih oċhíu 😭

I don’t know why the fisher part was so funny XD the face at 3:43
