The music is very annoying. I can almost not hear him.
it's not the music, it's the crappy recording...
I knew that girl was brazilian just because of the way she said "italiaaaanoooo" lmao
SIIM, eu fui percebendo aos poucos até mesmo pelos trejeitos e quando ela realmente falou em português eu fiquei tipo - AHA, MEU POVO EU RECONHEÇO DE LONGE
The girl is flirting with him... And she is really beautiful.
it's not her way if talking, more like her body language, she was totally flirting.
yes I am 😊 Mas sou Curitibana então talvez seja isto, mas pra mim ta muito claro que ela ta dando em cima dele. Tipo muuuito.
talvez, mas ainda acho que ela tá flertando. O olhar dela principalmente.
Which girl?
The one with the friend wearing a hat and sunglasses.
French is so easy to guess lol The "R" in french really takes it away
Hebrew has the same kind of R

@@jadorealissawhite-gluz5706 Turkish too. (Ğ)
2:10 Actually Finish and Swedish aren't close at all. Swedish is more closer to English than to Finnish.
He meant Geographically
He spoke turkish and i didn't get it and i'm a native speaker
Sabrican Özdemir I didn't understand german at first but I think it's because of the loud music and not him. Because when I repeat that part it was so good.
He says “Biraz yorgunum” which means i am a little tired
That Swedish was... uh... interesting
haha yeah
yea not so good
I am learning norwegian and i thought it was norwegian with some strange accent
I´m swedish and I didn't know he was speaking swedish at first.
Doesn't sound anywhere close to Swedish. His pronunciation is really bad.
Brasileiro está em todo lugar mesmo! Mas eu consegui sacar que ela era brasileira (1:00) só pelo timbre de voz ao falar a palavra "hebraico".
exatamente, eu também, e ela tava boa. Somos demaiiiiiiis!!!
I understand youuu, even though I couldn't reply back in your language, I'm so pleased I can understand some Portuguese ^^.
pissicutza09 It is already something, keep on with the good job, so that in a near future you will be able to reply us back in Portuguese and even write down your own thoughts about various subjects. I'll cheer for you =)
muito poliglotos includen eu falo portugues Portugues es um de linguas mais importantes en do mondo
Matheus G. S. Oh yes, I reaaally hope that too because I truly like Portuguese, it's unique in its own way and I think it would be such a shame not to get a better knowledge of it in this lifetime. I hope life will offer me the chance to really improve it, I'd be very glad then ^^. And thank you for your nice words, it always feels great and empowering knowing that you have other people's support!^^
"reallyy??" 1:00 haahaha what a playful girl!! Beleza!!
Haha definitely, it was quite a flirty look xD
seriekekomo she likes the guy
see, that beautiful girl was interested in a pale ass ginger just because hes a polyglot
seriekekomo wait polygotism is attractive now?? 😂
@@elenakk9125 Always has been.
lol "bare bra takk" could have been norwegian too
that portuguese girl was 🔥🔥
Clorox Bleach She is Brazilian
Obi Wan Kenobi even better
Ha ha! Please keep posting these challenges, games, etc. They are very fun to watch!
Unfortunately the app babbel is not free 😕
memrise is just as good
Ash You right
Duolingo, life saver
Haha it was fun to watch people guess haha :P
Glad you liked this one :)
1:36 BRAZILIAN IS NOT A LANGUAGE
When the dude said Finnish I face palmed, I had to re-face palm when the other dude said 'close' THEY'RE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT
More of this. Make this a series Babbel and get a few more million views.
The Swedish sounded more like Norwegian to me
1:35 "brazilian" *LoL*
Really cool video, guessed all except one. Subscribed!
Wow how that guy guessed turkish so quick, he just said one simple sentence :O
nobody:
music: *WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*
that polyglot: *EEE* kom *EEEEE* nederland
they did really well on the guesses.
what is it “EYE-RAINIAN”?? bish first of all its farsi and second that’s not even close 😂
OMFG SOMEONE THAT SPEAKS PORTUGUESE FROM PORTUGAL THAT ISN'T PORTUGUESE AND EVEN SPEAKS VERY WELL!!! Damn that guy is a genius!
I recognized the Brazilian ones even before they start speaking Portuguese.
Brazilian people are so unique
This was very funny Great video I like it 😀
Wow! They were all really good at guessing
This would be a much better video if you could clearly hear the language he’s speaking
It was so funny to watch!
He has a LOT of work to do on his Dutch XD
Good, they did really good haha!
Bare brå takk
It was sooo interesting video.
I didn't know only Hebrew.
Yeah baby the Dutchhhhh. Casi no exagera xD muy bueno el vídeo.
Woulda been nice if we could hear him
I like how pretty flirt like "Let's see what can you do to impress me?" Hahahaha!
Very much polyglot superb
1:21 Are they Rick and Glenn?
Rommel Intriago hahahahahaha you made my night!!!
Rommel Intriago Hahahahahahaha, good one
Rommel Intriago hahaha i thought that guy looked like rick but i didnt notice the asian
Omg hahaah
The music should've been louder to make sure we REALLY can't hear a word lol
2:37 he pulled that netherlands outta no where
+Finnish?
-No, close
+Swedish?
-Yeah
smh
i loved hearing him speaking portuguese from portugal
Ez! I want more! I've been working on guessing languages. I'm unbeatable.
I'm not unbeatable lol but I want more..It's fun
Yas queen, super fun!
Mössi I have no idea...I think it's easier from listening than reading...unless I know and have studied them or their alphabet
Mössi ooh cool
Did he say ik kom uit veendam? When he spoke Dutch? XD
I guessed Maltese correctly!! =D
Only heard him speak one sentence in Irish but he had the accent down
Cool
Finnisch?
Close. Swedish!
:(
You sir, have offended my trilingual ears.
Countries are close, but it’s languages difinately aren’t.
When he started speaking Irish 😍 Cá bhfuil tú i do chonaí ?
y'all that woman really said maltese is a dog smh...😂😂
Because a race of dogs (very beautiful by the way) that is called "Maltês" here in Brazil, do not take offense in that, she just made a joke.
@@israeln.j5955 My point was that she thought that Maltese is just a dog and didn't aknowledge it as a language lol
All good but one thing, it's so hard to guess when you almost don't hear him speaking in the different languages...
Irish!! Not bad!!
I could actually understand a lot of the questions he asked them...I feel sooo gooood!:)
Brasileiro é coisa de loco mesmo, flerta na cara dura kkkkkkkkk
Bring the mic towards you more when you're speaking please, I basically couldn't hear what you were saying. I wanted to play along too.
o cara falou malakoi, a brasileira falou é hebraico
Wesley Oliveira ...cara...kkkkkk
When I worked in the National Praks. I could recognize the western European langusges, Spanisn, German, French and Durch. mostly, Once I got fooled by Chilian Spanish.
The Scandinavion langues, I could only tell they were Scandanivian.
Asian languages sounded prettu much alike. And the same with the Slavic languages, NOt even Europeans could tell them apart.
Richard Schroepfer Durch? Deutsch?
So impressive, but the Swedish though...
That Swedish tho
la última vez que ví una encuesta de este tipo hecho en el mismo lugar los encuestados confundían un estado con un país y pensaban que su país se llamaba América ,no estados unidos
How could he mix up Finnish and Swedish?? Also, I'm sad that Babbel don't do any Finnish stuff ever...
I got the Dutch bc I'm Dutch
Brasil representando. lol
PORTUGUES DE PORTUGAL É QUE É CARALHOOOOO!!!!!!
the swedish was more like norwegian
Dein Deutsch ist ein Jammertal. Ich selbst habe es kaum zuordnen können!
Zuerst dachte ich, es hört sich an wie Niederlandisch.
podría ponerse el micro el que habla el idioma no?
Hungarian romanian czech and tagalog
People did better than I'd expect! But I'm such a pessimist when it comes to people in the US and other languages/cultures. I've had friends from Chicago tell me they don't know the capital of countries like France and England. Haha But it seemed there where quite a few people from different backgrounds in the video. =P Which is always nice to see since we are so diverse here (in some areas of the country at least).
Language Learning Lounge Oh my god seriously? :D
haha they said that Italian was German haha not even close
Hola yo hablo espanol, and english, e français
What did he say in Swedish? I've been learning Swedish and am somewhat proficient but I couldn't understand it at all.
Bara bra, tack! 2:07-2:10
It means 'Fine, thanks' as in 'I'm doing fine, thanks'
Julian Cowpurse Ah makes sense now. I think the 'a' pronunciation was what threw me off. It was more close to 'ä'
"Bare bra takk", you don't have to be proficient in Swedish to know this. Btw, learn Norwegian instead, it's easier, and you'll be able to understand what the Swedes are saying while also understand what the Dannish are writing. Win win
Alice In Salt Land It's hard to understand when you're not a native speaker and you listen to someone who doesn't pronounce things like a native speaker, but thanks for that tint of insult. Also I don't think Norwegian is easier. For me they are about the same.
MrC0MPUT3R I didn't mean to throw shade, I just naturally come off as bitchy. sorry
1:35 "brazilian?" is not even a language LOL
in brazil we speak portuguese, as americans speak english, or did you speak "american"?
Arayanlar, 1:20 deyiz :))
HEBREW 😍😍😍
the blonde girl was totally flirting with him.
This has convinced me that I'm terrible with European languages. I'll stick to Mandarin and its neighbor languages.
I'm beginner conversational in Mandarin but my hanzi is pretty terrible. Besides that I've picked up a couple words in Tibetan (Amdo) and a few others like Japanese and Mongolian...But until I'm conversationally fluent in Mandarin I'm not going to say that I really know two languages.
I'm exactly the opposite haha. I really tried to learn Chinese, but I learned very quickly that I can't handle languages without scripts.
euuw his swedish was sooooo off
anyone speak hebrew here who know the struggles of speaking with a sore throat?
when he said "bare bra, takk" i thought he was speaking norwegian but it's swedish ://
to lose something is spelt LOSE, not loose. check again.
0:32
une pokoe
1:10 are u sure...
Ceart go leoir!
The music is too loud to hear what he's saying
Hi
Me: *Speaking Mansi*
People: *Cannot guess anything because they don't know about the existence of this language*
Is that *IraNiAn* ?
you can’t really hear him that clearly ☹️
What language I'm I speaking mauruuru koe mo te mahi I teni I te kura
The Irish was a bit off
I'm Turkish and I didn't get it at frist when he spoke turkish
what did you say in Arabic? this is not arabic
He should mic himself more than the guessers. You can't hear him! It's frustrating - I went and found another video. Great idea, though - they should redo it.
he spoke portuguese from portugal so well
I can't hear him 👂
He said just 2 word and he know its turkish. I'm turkish but i didnt understand anything. How did he know lol
your Swedish was so wrong
1:21 omg i shocked this man recognized turkish! I feel very proud of it.
