🤣 💝 I love Emma
the way you pronounced kitchen in german dhxhshagha I'm sorry but I died.
LMAO IVE NEVER SPOKEN GERMAN IN MY LIFE IM SO SORRY
im happy it's at least laughable XD
+emmmabooks I was actually really impressed overall with how you did though. way better than I would've! that's for sure.
emmmabooks it’s so cute so, you talking in German 😍
I was like "is she still on the german edition, this sounds like Italian again"
Dei kutschey 😂😂
I'm German so hearing you saying that line in German was so funny😂😂
aahaahha XD hope i didn't destroy your language too badly
You should do an updated rip it or ship it with only Cassie’s characters
Yes!!
“who’s jacob?” 😂
i love your shadowhunter videos so much! and i’m so excited for queen of air and darkness ahhhhhhh
I'm German and the way you said kitchen was really cute haha to be fair German is difficult but I think you did a great job overall. I mostly read in English nowadays besides books from German authors obviously and it helped me so much with my English as I'm an English major in college
You should get a Spanish copy. I’ll try to send you one from Mexico 🇲🇽 soon!
i keep hoping to find a spanish bookstore that might have one! i definitely would like to get one the in the future
I'm french canadian and I have to say that your french is really good! J'adore comment le français sonne quand il est prononcé par quelqu'un qui parle en anglais!!
You have such a lovely accent when you're speaking French! You sound a bit French-canadian 🤗 as for foreign books I guess it's what I'm doing all the time since my 1st language is French and my 2nd is English 😂
Elle sonne pas du tout Québécoise...
@@kalak2572 c'est ce que je me disais en lisant ce commentaire, mais elle parle déjà mieux français que le reste du canada haha!
Ahah! Ça c'est certain!
hahahahaha ouais je dirais pas exactement qu’elle sonne québécoise😂 son français est quand même bon thoo
Je trouve que tous les américains qui tentent de parler français sonnent québécois c'est pas un reproche j'aime bien vos accents
Your french accent is so cute!
Any other french people here?
I am a french Canadian
Belgium 👍
Very very hilarious french
I’m Italian and I love that you started picking Italian edition of City of Bones. I hope you’ll read this! Great video, as always.💙
can’t wait to send you the hebrew edition of city of bones 💖 it’s taking me a while but ITLL BE SOON
you are the sweetest!
I’m really excited for her to see the letters in hebrew
this IS SO ORIGINAL AND FUN I CANT WAIT
I HOPE YOU ENJOY
I'm Bulgarian and I mainly read books in Bulgarian and English but I'd like to try reading in German too since I'm studying it. I would've loved to hear you speak Bulgarian if we didn't have different style alphabets but hearing you butchering German was so fun because I was the same 4 years ago when I started it and I still love making my brother read my German homework because he butchers it and it's soo funny 😂
И на мен ми се искаше да я чуя на български 😄👌
I am German and I think I wouldn't want to learn german to be honest. Just try to read some really good book in German and I hope you like it. 💕
Emma your TDA November videos have been amazing!
This is so creative and original!!Great job💜
This is fantastic and haven’t seen really anything like it on booktube! Your a queen in EVERY WAY!
I am so happy you are doing videos you enjoy and not just what you think will get views.... it shows how much fun you are having and that makes a diffrance!
Emma, I just wanted to let you know what a positive influence you've been on my life. You have such a glowing personality, and you're filled with so much goodness. Just keep doing what you're doing, because I know that many other people feel the way I do! Thanks for being your beautiful, wonderful self!
I’m half Norwegian, half Swedish, born and raised in Norway but I’ve lived in Sweden now for 11 years- totally getting off topic haha 🙈 I’ve read both books in Norwegian and Swedish, fell in love with The Hunger Games and Vampire Academy in Swedish! 😍 Decided to start reading and collecting books in English only a few years ago, 3 if I remember correctly 🙊
I got ridiculously happy when you read from the Swedish edition 😂
I loved that you attempted the dutch edition! You were so close! Your pronounciation really made me laugh :)
You speaking Dutch was the greatest thing ever!! Love the video ❤️
Great video! Also congratulations on 150k subscribers! Happy reading! 💗📖📚
Queen of giving us quality content
Aw i’m so proud you did so well with the french edition! Your prononciation is very good! greetings from quebec💕
Je remarque que nous sommes beaucoup de Québecois ici haha!
Tee Tant que ça? haha moi j’avais pas remarqué
Ton français est très bon Emma :) I'm french but I read all my books in English. I don't like waiting for the french version of my most anticipated books to come out and I think the translation takes something out of the story every time . Also I love interacting with bookworms all around the world so reading in English makes it so much easier.
I wish you a beautiful day x
Pauline Caspar same here! I’m from Czech Republic, but I prefer reading in English, because I think that translations are not as great as the original 😅
This tag was so much fun!! I'm Swedish so it was really fun that you read from a Swedish copy. 💛 And the thumbnail is hilarious 😂
Ciao! I'm Italian and hearing you speaking Italian made my day❤
I spent all of college learning German for my minor and I don't really use it now so this has definitely inspired me to pick up some German editions of my favorite books. I appreciate your attempt at all of these languages!
You really are the first person who ever inspired me to collect different editions of books I love and not feel bad about it. Thank you
Omg, u speaking Dutch sounds so cute and funny, amazing hahaha! This was a fun video!
Emma, I love this video so much! I work in a dual language school and unfortunately I’ve been encountering some parents lately who are not very open to the idea of learning a second language and who allow their fear of the unfamiliar to take over. I think that being open to other languages is so important even if, or especially if, we don’t understand what is being said. The beauty of the world is that there is so much diversity and so many beautiful languages. It’s so fascinating to hear words that I don’t understand and just be able to listen to the cadence of the words and wonder. That wonder is what makes life exciting.
Thank you for making this video and for being so open to trying new languages, even when you have no idea what it says! That open-mindedness is key and I hope that people who watch this video will be able to see that as well. ❤️❤️❤️
I’m Dutch and I’m so proud of your pronunciation. Dutch is hard and It’s always so cute when people try. But to answer your question, yeah I’ve read books in Dutch and English and I’m currently tying to learn to speak german so hopefully someday I’ll read a German book.
RMT B. Well I’m dutch too and I couldn’t understand a word of her dutch xd
Sophie Pike I had to listen to it twice to understand it. If you listen closely you can make out what she’s saying.
YES EMMA BACK WITH ANOTHER VIDEO! I'm so excited for queen of air and darkness it's so close yet so far😂Hope you have a good day and a happy Thanksgiving!!
I CANT WAIT AH
Your French is SO cute and your Italian is HILARIOUS! This video was so good and I actually think that you did pretty great! Anyway I love your videos so much and I hope you’re feeling fine! Byye
I loved this video! Such a unique concept! I speak french, because i'm from Quebec, so i read mostly translated work in French but i also read some books in English. I would like to try to read some in spanish too.
I’m from Québec. Your french is really good! Merci pour la vidéo Emma 💜
I’m in the middle of reading city of bones for the first time thank you for introducing me to the series Emma
i hope you're loving it!!
I am too!
this is amazing! I loved this xD And yes, I am not an English native so I have read books in English, French, German and Portuguese I really love being able to read in a lot of languages because i love to compare what authors are publishing in different places at the same time and most of all (especially with english books) i am glad to not have to wait for the translations.
@emmmabooks. Really great job on this one as usual. I was laughing soooooooo hard when u found the word "EAST RIVER" in English on one page and then I think u went to the German or Dutch edition on that SAME page, and the point where I couldn't stop laughing was when u said "You know what words i just found in this edition, "EAST RIVER"!!!!!! OMG. U had me cracking up the whole time...
Anyway, this was a really fun way to try and read books for beginners in different languages. You are the best Emma!!!!!!... Stay awesome. I am soooooo looking forward to your book review of Queen of Air and Darkness... Have a good day...
loved this vid. you're the queen of booktube.
you're the best! thanks for joining the liveshow last night. you had great questions!!
emmmabooks thank you for answering my questions!
I love you sm! This is a super unique video and I loved the way you pronounced the Dutch scentence❤😂
this is such a cute look emma!! & such a creative video idea ❤️
thank you lovely
Loved your Swedish pronunciation:)
Great video as always!💜
Emilia Hansson svensk army?😄
@@linalikesreading Haha ja😄
Love your profile pic💜
i am currently learning Italian, and so I have been collecting some of my favorite YA books in that language, I think ya girl needs to get a copy of City of Bones in Italian
omg you're outfit in this video is gorgeousss
SECOND COMMENT!!! Also, such a cool idea for a video, Emma!!! Love love love ♥️😍
thank you lovely!!
Happy to see my Finnish copy on here! I have read full books in English, Finnish and Swedish but I also speak Russian, Ukrainian and French but not fluently so I can't read any books yet! This video was so much fun
Ah I suspected that it was your copy when I saw the names, that's so cool and will forever be jealous of your language skills!
This is such a cool idea! Loved watching this❤️❤️💯
thank you for watching!
Love the way you speak french ! I’m French and I read in English ! Great video 🙂
I’m French and I mostly read Cassie’s book in English cause you can see her style better and I love it but there are lots of French books you would probably love (also your French is very good for someone who only studied it in class waw !)
What a cool video this was!! I'm French Canadian and I can say that your French is perfect and your accent is so adorable 😁👌 In my case French is my first language and English my second ; I also can speak Spanish a little 😉 I read books in both French and English ; and by the way your youtube channel is awesome and you're a fantastic person ☺😘 Tu es super!!
Valérie C. Je suis française et je peux dire que votre français n’est pas parfait non plus
This is so unique and fun!! I would have loved to see some of the spelling of some of those quotes haha
This was so much fun to watch! I'm sorry the German version was so difficult for you, Emma.
Your Dutch sounded pretty good and I liked listening to your French pronunciation.
I have actually never read Cassie's books in German, I go straight to the original versions and when my mum read the translated TMI books it was so weird to hear the German pronunciations of the names.
I thought of giving the translations a try, but I think I'll pass because I don't agree with the way some words have been translated.
Thanks for mentioning me in the info box. ♥ I'm glad you have another copy of CoB because I was already like "What if Emma picks the book I sent her and the pages with the movie pictures fall out again?"
Love your accent in french :)
This is a very fun video, I love hearing people try to speak other langage than their own.
You did very well, even if you know very well this story, it's impressive!
I read only in english and french (my first langage) but I would like to improve my german and maybe my italian to try to read little text at first!
My first english book was Harry Potter and the ordre of the phoenix because I was so impatient I couldn't wait for the french translation! The only problem I had was the word "squib" wich is totally different in french (Cracmol). As I read the 4 first books in french, I didn't really understand what happens with Mrs Figg until I read it in french years later :D
I've read books in Swedish, Spanish, English and French (I'm bilingual in the first two, nearly fluent in the third and proficient in the fourth). Lovely video as always ❤️
I love your french especially with your accent it's so cute 😍
@@emmmabooks actually you're doing pretty well. You're better in french than I in english 😂
I'm Rachel
You're Pheobe
Pheobe is speaking french
Rachel is in LOVE with Pheobe.
Phoebe * not being horrible it is my name and I always correct people. It is fine, because it is mis spelled everytime
Omg hearing you speak Dutch is so funny, I love ittttt
I’ve read HP and the philosophers stone in German, and I’ve read parts of most of the others in the series. I’ve also read some like middle grade/children’s books in French and German, which I would totally recommend for anyone learning a new language!!
I'm Japanese, so English isn't my first language. But I read more English books than Japanese ones lately😂
The reason I read in English is so simple. Most of the books popular among BookTube are not translated!!
My English skill has been improved because of reading and BookTube, I guess😂
Sayako A sameeeee
I am German and I am studying East Asia studies, so I have a lot of Chinese and Japanese book versions (especially Japanese book covers usually look really colorful and fun)
I’m dutch and I got so excited when I saw that you got a dutch copy and to hear you try to read from it was so cute and funny
This is so cool!
Love the fact that you included the Swedish version in this video. Being Swedish that was really fun to watch :D
Spanish was my first languages, but I was born and raised in the U.S so I’m much more proficient in English than in Spanish, especially when it comes to reading. I have read a total of 1 book in Spanish, and 1 book in Brazilian Portuguese the year I learned the language (it was Simon Vs!!). I need to start reading more in Spanish though
This was so cool I loved this idea!
Thanks for this video - I laughed so much. Especially about you pronouncing certain lines in German (my motherlanguage), Italian and Swedish (I'm currently learning both). Your Italian pronounciation sounds more like Spanish, and in the Swedish one you spoke the 'r' far to much - it's also mir of a flowing and singing language. And the German was the funniest for me - cause I needed actually three tries and the english translation to understand what you were saying... I definity doesn't want to afford you, probs to you for even trying and I myself doens't even want to know how many grammar mistakes are in here, sooo..... btw I read Throne of Glass in Swedish (though first in German)
This was awesome!! My first language is Portuguese, but I read everything in english (I am very used to it). Once I tried to read a book in Spanish and it was an interesting experience.... let's just say I always had google translate open :P
My first language is Portuguese too, from Portugal. :D
Never read City of Bones in Portuguese tho. Ever since I learned English I stopped reading books translated in Portuguese xD
Also, I had 3 years of Spanish classes at school and I was very good at it, but nowadays... well I can speak a liiiiitle bit but I can understand pretty well specially if I'm reading it (there might just be some words that trip me off since not every word in Spanish is close to Portuguese) but since I fell out of practice every time I try to speak Spanish my brain goes to English right away. It's like "Foreign language? BOOM! English!" xD
So awesome! Portuguese is my second language and Spanish is my third. I find the languages very similar tho! Minus English, English is on its own continent compared to Spanish and Portuguese lool.
I've read the first three in german (my mother tongue), but I've read all shadowhunter books in english 🙈 i prefere the original version
I LOVE THIS VIDEO
I'm Dutch and your pronunciation was adorable haha. I started reading books in English at 14/15? And haven't looked back since. I started reading in English when my perception of the language was pretty good though, so I didn't struggle too much
I read the City of bones in three languages- Bulgarian ( as I am from there), English and German and I want to read it in Spanish so. And I find your collection of the book in different languages really great. I wish you have tried some of the Cyrillic languages too.
Assuming this was most likely your first time speaking german you did quite well:)
I'm german, but I usually decide the language I read in by choosing the prettier cover. I read tmi in german, since I wasn't fluent in english back then but switched for tda because book translations take soooo long. I am currently studying swedish and hope to be able to read "harry potter och de vises sten" next summer.
Oh now I'm sad that Russian has cyrillic alphabet! 🙈 But I loved the video anyway, it was incredibly funny!
As a person who also (kind of) speaks German and Swedish, I found it so cute you reading in those languages haha You did a good job!
Answering your question, based on my Goodreads account I've read 41 books in foreign language which is English for me (obviously my first language is Russian), and I actually like reading in book's original language more, because a lot of stuff gets lost in translation and I just don't want to miss a single thing!
Also, I'm really sorry to point it out, but my name is Vasilisa, not Vasalissa (if I'm the one you're referring to in the description box, I'm not really sure anymore 😂) ❤
ok so I'm German and it was really funny seeing you struggle with it so much xD but nowadays I read most books in English, especially with Cassandra Clare books I started reading TMI in German and now I read TID and TDA in English only. Also I read Harry Potter in French (but that was not a good idea I struggled so much )
bit generally I now prefer reading english books in english because the vibe of a book sometimes completely changes when being translated. I tried reading Lady Midnight in german after having read in english but I just couldn't do it, the tone or ambiance of the story felt different
I just finished reading my first book in Japanese, although it was a kids book. Hoping to work my way up!
I minored in French in college. So I’ve read: Les Jeux sont Faits by Jean-Paul Sartre, Perrault’s Barbe-Bleu and La Belle et la Bête in the original French publication, Le Silence de la Mer, and Carmen. Right now I’m working on reading Harry Potter et le prisonnier d’azkaban & Tahereh Mafi’s Shatter Me in French (Ne me Touche pas). Lovely video!
I actually read tmi in finnish but all the rest of tsc books in english, i prefer the original so maybe i will reread tmi in english soon :)
I've never read a full book in a different language, but I attempted Vampire Academy in French when I was studying it
I'M LAUGHING SO HARD! Love your Dutch accent hahahaha
STILL OVER THE MOON THAT YOU HIT 150K IM SO PROUD
you look so cute in this video i love the denim
22 COPIES WHAT THE FUCK
"who is jacob"
you're ridiculous i love you i love this
I'm Italian and I loved how you read it. It was so funny (in a good way) and it seemed Spanish to me xD.
It's a really original video, so thanks.
I can only say and read "What is your name" in German. But you are making a great effort so kudo's to you! I plan to read the first series sense you love it so!
I can't believe you don't have a copy in Spanish! I'll send you one as soon as possible! Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱
Ok but you're actually really good at speaking French! Your accent kills me though (in a good way!) - you're so cute!!!! 😍
I definitely want to try to read some books in french. Ive studied it for 11 years (canadian) and I'm pretty okay at it but its been a couple years since I've studied it in university and i dont want to lose it!
Your french accent is so cute ! I’m Belgian and it’s odd to see a french copy among all those english books. This video was original, you are funny. I like your channel because talk very distinctly so I can understand ^^ 🤗 Big kiss
I have a copy of City of Bones in Mandarin Chinese if that is of any interest for your collection? It was a gift by a well-meaning grandparent when I was learning Mandarin but I never became proficient enough to read it.
I read the German edition of Divergent when I was in high school, but I don’t think I remember enough German to do that very well now. Loved your German pronunciation 😂. Way way off, but it was entertaining!
I used to speak Welsh fluently but lost a lot of it when I went to an English speaking school, but I have read Harry Potter in Welsh, as well as a few other middle grade novels, just to try to keep my Welsh up!
OMMMMMMMMG YOUR FRENCH IS SOOOO CUTE I CANT
This is such a cool idea!!! Have you thought about learning another language? You did an awesome job!!
Oops replied too early 😝 5 years of French! That’s awesome!!
I LOVED watching this!!! I love different languages. I can competently speak French and I’m not too bad at speaking Italian, either. I hope you don’t mind me asking this here, but where are we meant to read Ghosts Of The Shadow Market? Is it meant to be before QoAaD? Thanks!
I'm currently learning Dutch and have only read children's picture books. I think it is awesome that you read Harry Potter in French. I hope to get that fluent in reading Dutch.
loved hearing you speak Swedish 😂 you did good, i assume the additional letters we have can be confusing
I only read in English and Swedish. I could speak fluent mandarin as a child and remember reading children’s books in mandarin. So sad (and scary) that I’ve completely forgotten the language.
Nej, vad tråkigt att du glömt bort det!
Ja lite synd är det. Förutom att det är kul att kunna språk tänker jag att kina har massa litteratur som vi säkert aldrig hör talas om😌
I hava read about 9 books in English my first language is Swedish. I read the first book in English in my freetime when I was 14 it was very hard at first it took to books before I got it. I would recommend reading a thriller first because those books keeps you entertained when it is getting frusterating.
They definitely mention East River quite many times :D I read in English, Finnish and Estonian...I actually should be able to read books with easier language in Swedish as well but I haven't tried plus it has been couple of years since I took any classes
Yay Finnish! I would love to see you try to pronounce some Finnish words!
Wow I’m surprised you’ve only read one full French novel for how good your accent is. Ive been in French immersion for four years and currently I’m in the middle of reading La Haine Qu’on Donne (the Hate U Give) and it’s amazing. I can’t even imagine having an accent as good as yours. It’s would be so cool to have a book in so many languages! I also know a little bit of German and I’m in the process of learning the Russian alphabet.
I re-read the TMI series in German and this was such a nice experience because you know what happens in the book, but you don't know how it will be portrayed in that language. Also both English and German are not my native language but I enjoy a book in them more than in Bulgarian. kinda sad, but I just can't read a book in my mother tongue
