The Czech guy is like "why the fuck did I move to America???"
+naomi trowell must be because of their awesome way of pronouncing words incorrectly and then telling people that pronounced them correctly that they are wrong, even though that persons first language is not english. he still manages to pronounce them better than the yank...must be that /s
+lemonpartyhellyeah Ouch.

In Europe they learn British English so the way he said some words is how we say it haha
Char Joan Problem is that most of the pronunciation we learn from internet and so we don't speak only american or british or australian etc. english but we use mix of all of it...
+Kateřina Svobodová It is true. But i think it is bad so bad. For example: in school i learn British english but in my free time i learn American english so than i have so "tidy" in it. Pro Čechy: mám v tom hrozný bordel.
The way he said most of the words was the correct way
+Sharkasm23 In Canada or Australia they might also say these words differently. Different English speaking countries use English differently.

Why would learning British english be bad? Americans are english people who immigrated over there? Its the same fucking thing but a different accent, honestly you're wasting your time.

The Czech guy pronounced each one of these four words correctly, using the English pronunciation from England. The American guy is using American English. Both are correct.
+william santor Because just like there are ignorant Americans that are clueless about British English, there are also ignorant foreigners that generalize the entire American population. We're all the same, who knew?

You know that's the prettiest thing about Czech. Every character has its distinctive sound and basically what you read you say. There is no accent. English speaking people tend to search for some tongue twisters when there are none. Spelling the word quickly in this case would be more close to the right pronunciation to actually try to say it when you don't know the sounds of the character.
well sometimes a "K" becomes a "G" and a "Z" becomes an "S". sometimes an "N" becomes a "Ň" and so on. But mostly you're right. :P
well, nobody would care if you say svatba precisely instead of "svadba", for example
Czech language does have many of accents itself. Trust me 😂
The Czech guy is pronouncing the English perfectly, the American isn't. The Czech guy says it how we British say it, and we invented the language, lol!
Thanks but I wasn't trying to teach him British English...you know....since he lives in America...
Actually, you might have invented the language, but a language can be changed into many different dialects as well as accents. That is why some words are different in American English than in British English. For example, Fall and Autumn. So it is invalid to think that just because the British created the first form of the language that that is the only correct way to use it. It is also invalid to think that the American is saying it wrong when in fact there are many ways to use English. Sorry I had to give you a language lesson but ignorant comments annoy me.
+Darius G I actually live in Northern Ireland, so with regard to accents and dialects, I speak English with an Irish accent and dialect, however this Czech gentleman has learnt his English in such a manner that his pronunciation and inflection is correct as described in the Oxford English Dictionary. As a continental European gentleman, he has learnt his English as we speak it here in the British Isles.
+Norm Iron
Yes, and I completely understand that that is the correct way to say all the words where you are from. However this video isn't about The British Isles. This was shot in America and he was trying to teach him American English. What he was saying wasn't wrong, it was just in the wrong context.
+Norm Iron No you didn't, Germans did, LOL.
Wow! Love the Czech trainer guy! He needs his own channel. He could demonstrate how to train. Preferably without his shirt. And his English was Great.
+Steven Thomas working on the videos as we speak :)
+Steven Thomas when I read your comment I said "Engrish" ..............
Steven Thomas He has his own channel :-)
Michal Sopor is his channel on YT and yeah he shows how he train and other stuff.
Czech Hunter has taught me that there's no such thing as a straight Czech.
Stéphanois LMFAO. YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
AHAHAHAHA
really? xd
LOL
:´D dont say that too out loud or youre gonna start uprising in cz
The Czech guy is speaking British English, which is what the rest of the world speaks espescially Europe and he pronounces Herb correctly and Mobile and Advertisement. American man sounds like he hasnt been out of the country and is a little ignorant of the rest of the world.
he was asking him to pronounce it like an american... dumbasses these days
+Brem gill Sorry, but you are wrong about the British English. I have a lot of friends and I never heard anyone who use British English (Maybe that's because I teach them?).
+Brem gill Except for the millions of people being taught English by Americans, Australians, Canadians who teach English around the world.
Australians and candians use British english, thats why the spell it color like this, colour.
I dont think Sweets is the best guy to teach english. In the USA, natives will speak American English, but someone who learns English in Europe will generally be taught British English because the British Council is the international authority on English as a second language. But sure if you learn in the US or the Americas in general it makes sense to learn American.
Yet again an American proves the ignorance of his people. A lot of the ways the Czech guy was saying the words were correct in British English. Also the way the czech guy said advertisement was correct in both languages. It's a common mistake that a lot of americans make to generalise the pronunciation rule from the verb "to advertise" on to the noun "advertisement". Long story short american dude pronouncing it wrong and has no idea that there are DIFFERENT ways of pronouncing things/different words that are used by other english-speaking nations around the world.
Rant over.
Czech guy wins.
Except you completely missed the fact that this video is about AMERICAN English, not British English. Obviously I knew he was pronouncing the British equivalent of the word, however I didn't make a video about British English did I? And even if advertisement is pronounced incorrectly in general that doesn't change the fact of how almost every American English person pronounces it, which is the entire point of this video.
danielxmiller Actually you didn't make it obvious at all (nor is it written anywhere that it was only about the General American accent), you just said many times "wrong", when there are obviously (check e.g. Oxford Advanced Dictionary) more pronunciations. Even when you corrected "herb", you weren't aware that there exists an alternative in the American accents with "h" pronounced (again, check please some dictionary, for example the mentioned Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary which is free online).
It would be better at this point if you at least partially accepted that you were wrong to tell him that something was outright wrong (because that's what you did), but simply that you had no idea.
*****
Ehm, sorry, you clearly know nothing of the pronunciation models and of the accents. In America there is so called GA (General American pronunciation that had its own separate evolution for the past several hundred years) and in Britain there is RP and it also evolved differently since the point they split. Please do your homework first before you post. What you say is absolutely preposterous almost to the point of ignorant.
I appreciate your clip and responses but it would be better to have openly acknowledge in the clip that he is pronouncing them right because what you do by ignoring it, is make it seem like this Czech guy has not learned english properly. Many people can see he has but there will be many Americans who dont see that and assume the Czech guy is saying it wrong because he doesnt know better. In this case you are really comparing 3 accents, Czech, British and American which is cool, the video just doesnt explain that to anyone.
+danielxmiller except British pronunciation is correct - take from the people who invented the language!
Zajímalo by mě, kolik je tu Čechů...
Plno!!! XD
Řekněme, že hodně :D
Celkem dost :-)
hele asi žádnej.. smůla třeba příště
Hodně moc
can't stop watching he's hot and the accent ... omg
It's obvious Michal learned to speak English from people from England (where they invented the language). In England the h is not silent in herb, and they pronounce garage, mobile, and advertisement the way Michal does (actually we rhyme mobile with mile in Canada, too).
I didn't know they invented American English in England.
although I pronounce herb with the h sound, but I'm from the South, so I guess my accent is even more wrong.
In school they teaching us British English mainly, but that words are not about British English, Michal's way how to say that is just more natural and logical for us. I've never heard someone saying "moubl" or "eeeb" here or in any European state. But many things we saying American way, for example fire and here, British fire sounds like "foja" and we saying it like "fajr". I'd like to know how Americans saying Iron, because we saying it like "ajron" mainly, but British saying it like "aaajn" with very silent J or maybe "ain" in English writing. And Czech pronunciation of garage it like that because it's almost same like Czech word garáž which is from French same like English version.
It's not English, it's American English
the better english. the english that doesn't give you cancer when you
listen to it.
are you okay?
Gabriela Boop
i guess not, i can't stand the british accent.
Mad_Scientist I'm British and even I cant stand some British accents, even some American ones, they don't all sound the same lol :) and ya shouldn't joke about cancer mann

- It is.
- Neighborhood?
+Geto Dacian It is pretty hard to say this word (nejobhospodařovanější) correctly...even for me and i am czech.lol
+TwinDuo Channel Popravdě jsem to slovíčko nikdy v životě nepoužil :D
+Geto Dacian You know, our language is synthetic, we prefixes and suffixes, and changing the meaning of a word or escalating it. Hospodařit = cultivate/manage/farm, maybe we can say is best cultivated ;)
Another example: krásný, krásnější, nejkrásnější = beautiful, even more beautiful, the most beautiful
+Geto Dacian No, And It's word I assure you 'cause I'm from there
+Geto Dacian Its "Nejneobnehospodařovávatelnější" still nothing to compare with german, they have so long and crazy words
The chech boy is absolutely beautiful! Those eyes. ...
actually the longest word in Czech is ' nejneobhospodářovávatelnějšími ' which is basically like a prefix to the longest german word ' Donaudampfschiffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft '
This is crazy! This is such a long word from German language oh gosh!!!
well the german one doesnt really make sense
one of, if not the longest English word is this. Hippopotomonstrosespuippedaliophobia which ironically mean an irrational fear of long words.
As far as I know, that word is not inherently english, It's latin.
in german and dutch you can make almost infitely long words
im from the czech republic awh i love the accent lololol
yea
zajímavý je že Michal umí už dost dobře anglicky, ale furt má čengliš přízvuk :-D
You know the Czech guy said advertisement right?
the czech guy was using British pronunciations and also British words for subway.... The American guy was of course saying everything correctly the way we say things....
When I was in school (Czech school), they taught us underground is metro in the UK, tube only in London and subway in USA, but I was speaking with american guy who didn't know words subway, underground neither tube for metro because he doesn't have metro in his city and he doesn't care about some metro. ;-)
What's with all of this American bashing? Daniel was teaching him how to pronounce the words in AMERICAN English, because he resides in the U.S., not the U.K. Some of you from other countries are being very condescending and arrogant. As for the trainer, sure, he's a bit heterosexist, but his being friends with Daniel will hopefully change that.
Look at Daniel's demeanor.....He's kind of like a little school girl but I would be too. He is hot.
Lol
Lol! They would make cute babies 🖤
They sure would!
Now you see how sexy guys we have in Czech 😂 I'm so proud of our country
😂😂
:D in all honestly i have to disagree. or maybe czechs aren´t my type...i dont know.

Daniel, you have just proven the universal ability of mankind to relate to each other regardless of sexual orientation, language, nationality, or culture. To me, it was apparent the respect and affection the two of you have for one another. Great to see, bro! Spread the love.
the czech guy so cuteeeeeeeee 😍😍😍😍😍
I'm Czech so I totally understood when your trainer had problems with the English words since our pronunciation is so different. Does he have a YT channel?
casswastaken haha yes! I was looking up differences between our languages and you guys cut half of the words out. Lol. For instance "the car is red" might be " the car red". Sofunny . ;) his CZcams channel is: czcams.com/video/XFkffwd4kEM/video.html
danielxmiller It is not exactly how you think it is. We dont cut words out - we dont use them because we modify the word "red" in the form that replaces "red+is". For example red in czech is "červená" and red car is "červené auto". For us is funny that you have only one form of adjecvives... add just for clarification - "car is red" in czech is "auto je červené" in this word order we use "is" as well as you do :)
Oh wow, that could get very confusing for me quickly haha. Thanks for clarifying! I find the Czech language very cool sounding
Czech language is almost only one slavic language which using something IS (auto JE červené, dům je ošklivý....) another slavic languages really using only that "car red". I know for example in Polish you can say JEST instead of IS, but when I hear Poles, they really don't using it and saying it that "car red" way. They saying for example "Ty idiot" (You are an idiot) which is really weird for Czechs, we saying "Ty JSI idiot" :-D To that other slavs speaking like "you idiot" "you smart" "Putin debil" etc without that IS, which is weird for us.
The moment when you have missed the whole video because you imagine how hot their sex would be... And then you go through a shame spiral for being such a perv ahaha
On the plus side, I subbed!
Haha. This is probably my favorite comment ever lol!
That is exactly what I did... I have to watch it again
Their sex? Hot? More like confused. Male/female sex is hot.
xxFairestxx somebody's kinda homophobic, aren't they?
+xxFairestxx wrong... female/female supposedly is......
Your czech friend is pretty handsome
The Czech guy pronounced the words "garage", "mobile", "advertisment" and "herb" perfectly and then the american came along and bastardised the English language and then claimed that his version was correct.
Our boys are just the most handsome(I am Czech) ❤❤❤
Cute video :)...The Czech guy is gorgeous! Love his accent!!
so how's sexual orietation relevant?
yeah lol xD
I know, right?
Matt Beck
he doesn't talk funny lol
Well to some people we do.
Some gay people pronounce words differently from straight people and sometimes have an accent of their own.
I loved this! It is so great to hear someone speaking Czech. I have been wanting to learn it since I am mostly CzechoSlovakian. But I haven't had anyone to teach me. I had such an easy time copying this compared to other languages! It was so cool! And I love that you get to roll your R's when speaking Czech. I have always had fun doing this.
Haha... This was so funny and cute! I need more from you two :)
***** Haha..ikr. I've now watched this twice!
Daniel,
There's a strong chemistry that comes across from you and Michael that is entertaining to watch especially when you tried to speak with Michael's accent and he tried to speak with your accent.
That punch looked like it hurt!
+abawiakin That's an eastern european punch. We feel no pain.
+Valeria Bortă Actually, Czech rep. is in central, not eastern.
I'm an exchange student from the US currently in czech and this is my favorite thing
I live in UK for ages. Originally I am from Slovakia but this Czech boys make me melt :P love the accent! btw half of my family lives in Czech republik :P
He is really stunning. Could you do another video with him please???!!!!
Michal...we are so proud of you!!! :D Great fun...
That’s was funny! You were actually teaching the lovely Czech guy to mask his already excellent British English with US pronunciation! 😉
Is Czech Republic like....ok with gays?
Whatever.
Czech guys are incredibly good looking though.And the most awesome people to have around here.
+AugustanFinn Most of the people are. But even though they say they have nothing against gays most of them still use it as insult. But yeah, we're ok with it :D
Andrea Kuttelwascherová
Thank goodness!
:D
I've been warned many times that Slavs are openly hostile to gay people.
Glad to know the Czechs are an exception to that.
+AugustanFinn Basicly, even if they aren't ok with it, czech republic is one of the safest countries in the world, nobody would harm you for it.
+AugustanFinn we are Slavs just because of similliar languages.. in these days its almost all what we have same.. maybe beautiful girls as well :D
Jakub Kvapil
I'm Finnish/Celtic so I don't have a lot of information about Slavs.
All I know is that Czech guys are always ridiculously handsome :D
We have a lot of Czech Americans so I know.
He is beautiful OMG
The Czech guy is speaking British English. Personally I prefer American but I learnt and am still learning British English.
That guy... Watched the video twice and... oh snap... I'm speechless. I could watch him all day.

He is very fluent in English and he can pronounce the words well. He is very understandable and we do not have to learn his language which would be very difficult. With a bit more effort and if he wanted to do so he could eliminate almost all his Czech accent. Americans and other English speakers are way too critical of those who do not speak our language exactly as we do. What more of us have to do, as I did at 23, go to say Germany and see what it is like to get along there even with as many English speakers as there were! It took a huge effort. I am amazed that so many from Europe speak so many languages well enough to have political and economic discussions. My Norwegian relatives begin English at age 8 or so and all the books in high school and college are in English. I tried a few Norwegian words but never learned much of the language. I hope your friend likes it here and make him feel at home not in the least bit shy about his English!
Daniel Great vid. You and dude was hilarious! ! Def entertainment! !
He seems very comfortable around you. What a great chemestry! Greetings from Italy ❤️ Hope you are still friends today
loving your pals accent
English grammar is very simple, yet most of the people born here in the United States cannot master English grammar. Czech grammar is far more complex, but at least Czech is phonetic (the pronunciation of letters is consistent). The fact that English has words like rough, tough, enough, though, through, and thought is what makes it so difficult to learn.
"Oh yeah, that's like you... When you are dumb." I died.
so cute!
Lol. I love this, living in a border town... Being able to speak English and French, makes it a lot more easier to know and understand what he was saying in Czech! Much like Spanish, if you can speak French you can speak Spanish.
Im Czech and living in Belgium but my accent is more to swedish because I have a swedish husband and I learned his accent! :D
You have to do another video together! :D I laughed so much
I went to the Czech Republic tos tart my Doctor's without borders time. I just melt with their accent. It is weird I do not have the same reaction for other accents.
so cuuuuuuuuute!!
I don't know... What's the point of saying you're gay and he is straight in this video? Besides "Straight vs gays" wow, should we be in competition as men and women are unfortunately! I think it is not relevant.

The "H" in "Herb" is actually pronounced in british english, and he said "Mobile" in a british english accent as well. He wasn't incorrect there however there were some words that he said wrong lol. 😃

So basically were making fun of the guy who is learning English?
Dan O my thought exactly. Lol.
Good Video!
haha i'm from Czech Republic and i can tell you he gave you really hard words for example NEJOBHOSPODOŘOVANĚJŠÍ =DDD
Garage and advertisement can be said both ways in English. Many more words can also be said more than one way. Just listen to someone from the northeast talk to someone from south carolina or minnesota.
this is so funny to me ... I'm croatian so speaking czech is not hard at all but also i have family in canada so english is easy also
the way the Czech guy was closer to the original English pronunciation than the American
No he's not. If you would live in the US you would know this. As this is our first language, not second or third.
Um i was talking about the 'british pronunciation' i.e. from britain. Typical american
william santor Well she was the one blindly defending America without reading my post 😂
+william santor my comment was not badly worded in any way 😂 and now you're just being pedantic about the use of the word original when clearly i wasnt refering to 11th century English

"Advertisement", the way he pronounced it, is from British English/Received pronunciation, I think
