I believe the "German is an angry language" cliché comes from WW2 movies. There is so many WW2 movies with officers yelling orders in German. But in reality, while it's still more "hard", with more consonnants than Romance languages for example, it's just a normal language. I remember watching a German movie, "Good Bye, Lenin!", and i thought it sounded like Swedish or something. Our brains are just not used to hear "normal" German.
For me as a Czech native speaker, german pronunciation is actually the easisest of these all. The second place goes probably to English. I've got literally no idea what's going on in French.

I understand why Lauren is saying what she’s saying about French and Spanish! Both French and English had a fair amount of Celtic influence, French was influenced by Germanic languages, and English was influenced by French. Much more contact between English and French than English and Spanish. I really do think that in general, French is easier for English speakers to learn than Spanish.
I'm a bit confused about this, would you mind explaining it more? For me both French and Spanish were quite easy to get a feel for since both of them have their roots in latin, but French is harder to pronounce. I know that German and English both have Germanic roots and are similar with Durch for example and that spanish, french, italian etc. are mainly latin-influenced.
@@ps-cx9hz yes, both French and Spanish have Latin roots, but French has also been influenced by Celtic Gaul language and Germanic languages, through the Franks. These languages have influenced both French pronunciation and vocabulary. English is a Germanic language, but also has Celtic influence through the Celts that lived in Great Britain, and emerged into the new Germanic population when they arrived. Through the Norman conquest of England, and also later, the French language had a huge impact on English, mostly vocabulary, but also pronunciation and grammar. English and Spanish have never had this kind of contact, and Spanish has not really been in touch with any Germanic language. Rather, it’s mostly been influenced by Arabic, and to a lesser extent, Celtic languages on the Iberian peninsula. That’s why I don’t find it too weird when Lauren says that French feels more familiar to her than Spanish. Anyway, some other person might feel different about it, regardless of what happened in history.
also, Spain has many Celtic influences, for example in Galicia where I live was a Celtic civilization like in Brittany in France, we have the same Celtic culture

These kind of people are kinda annoying. It’s not necessary a bad thing to want attention, it’s about how you are trying to get the attention. How you treat others while doing this. ( If you understand you understand). You either never had these kind of “loud” friends or are a “loud” person yourself.
as an english speaker, who's learning some german (haven't been having german classes in school lately) and spanish (casually learning), french is the hardest out of the three IMO.
German has some similar things with english so maybe that's why it may be easy for you And tho I speak French and have spoken it since my birth, what's complicated is all those rules
That's interesting but probs more of a you-thing. Since spanish and french are categorised as level 1 languages while German is categorised as level 2 for difficulty from an English speaker's perspective
I‘m German but I've met Spanish people that were very different compared to Gabriel. I don't know if he represents the country well enough or in general Spanish as a language. But the French guy was very nice, kinda surprising haha
I am spaniard and I can tell this spanish guy was beyond annoying. We are not like that. He is waaaaay too loud, interrupting others and not thinking before speaking. Completely opposite to me actually.
it's not fair, the two french words were very easy. in France we have words like "Houx", "Quincaillerie", "groin", "oeuf", "Mille-feuille" which are much harder
Pronouncing hardest words from European languages... Slavs: Are we joke to you? I would love to see them pronounce the word from south Slavic language: "Trg" short word but a lot of foreigners struggle to say it.
Im germanspeaking but i thought the same. The french guy saying how difficult german grammar is but meanwhile serbocroatian has 7 cases while german has 4. (A croatian girl tried to teach me some but its so difficult)
As a French person speaking English and German fluently on a daily basis, I must say that French grammar is the worst in my opinion. German grammar simply has a lot of rules but once you know them it makes sense. French grammar has no logic whatsoever and tons of exceptions.
As a German, speaking French and English, I had to learn French twice. French people don't speak with the same rules, that are teached in school. So, I'm with you. We Germans have some of exeptions as well, but we normally don't mind, if someone speaks German with some grammar mistakes- as long, as we know, that he's not German. If he's German and just makes small grammar mistakes - he will be harshly corrected!
I'm a German speaker and French grammar is super hard. I will forever complain about subjonctif every chance I get, because I just don't get how it works lol
We also have to take into account that they know each other, they are friends and it makes them talk confidently with each other without thinking that we think they do not know each other and should treat each other with more "protocol"..
Hello fellow french citizen, i guess it's because a lot of letters aren't pronounced in French, so foreigners expect some of them being decorative in every word. I can't blame them for thinking this way... French is hard.
The word "yogurt" is believed to have come from the Turkish word "yoğurmak," which means to thicken, coagulate, or curdle. Yaourt is a masculine noun in French that refers to yogurt in English: un yaourt. The plural is des yaourts. In French, you can also use yoghourt or yogourt.
I couldn't help but thinking that the guy from Spain sounded Korean when trying to speak German, whilst the guy from France did really well. Please accept my apologies in case this comes across inappropriate

Hardest (I think) words in my language: Konstantynopolitańczykowianeczka (a young resident of Constantinople, now Istanbul) Grzegorz Brzęczyszczykiewicz Chrząszczyżewoszyce powiat łękołody (watch a fragment of the movie, e.g. "How I unleashed world war 2" as the Nazi tried to spell it). For foreigners, probably a lot of words with rz, cz, sz, ie. I speak Polish
Compound words tend to be very easy to read when you know the language - you're probably going to know the parts of the compounds, and you also know how the syllable structure works, so you're going to be able to see the word boundaries. But sometimes you do get real ambiguity, obviously.
No offense to Gabriel, he has his own personality and clearly sing brilliantly, but I just couldn't stay more than 2min with him...kind of disrespectful toward the German girl, to much chatty, a bit harsh and too loudly speaking for my ears!😅😜
It's not a common word, maybe she didn't want to admit she doesn't know what it is/means (hell, I forgot), because it has nothing to do with the Latin omnes/omnia.
@@uamsnof Yes, but that "omnia"-nonsense didn't come from her. There was probably also confusion with the Greek "eponymous". Ignominious just derives from the Latin "ig-nomen" ("not name").
Really surprised you guys did “mercredi” and not “Août”. I always had a problem with pronouncing that word when I was learning French in secondary school.
I am honestly surprised they did not discuss THIS one word which, in all four languages, is equally tricky/evil to pronounce -- ardilla -- écureuil -- Eichhörnchen -- squirrel
@@nyctophylos Yup, in Turkish the "ğ" in "yoğurt" is silent, which is why it's so interesting that English & German (yoghurt) kept the "g" but ignored the pronunciation, whereas French (yaourt) kept the pronunciation and ignored the spelling :D
@@andyx6827 The French transcribed the world as they heard it and because yogurt was made popular in France when Turkish was written in Arabic Ottoman script, there was no guidelines on how to write it. The word entered English much later when Turkish was written in the Latin script. France still is and by very far the country that consumes the most Western-style yogurt, so nothing will change that word.
I didn’t know the French pronounced it correctly. We Swiss use “yogourt” and never “yaourt” and we alway make fun of the French for not pronouncing it like in every other language :D
(as a native french speaker who learned english and spanish) If you know how the words are spelled : spanish is the easiest, almost every letter has 1 pronunciation and every letter of the word are prononced (only exception I can remember of is "ll" pronunced "li" or "i") ; I'm not objective but french comes after, the difficulty comes from mute letters and combination of letters (for exemple "au" sounds like "o") so letters sound different depending on the context but I think once you know the rules it's less difficult (more or less because there are always some exception) ; lastly for english (I don't know about german) there are just no rules 😂😂, the sound of vowels are mixed (english "e" is "i" in every other european language for exemple), like french letters can sound different depending the context but also and unlike french just depending the word (maybe there is a logic, but I can't find it 😅). For exemple if we take the letter "u" (with phonetic alphabet) in spanish it's always [u], in french by default it's [y] but "ou" is [u], "eu" is [ə] and "au" or "eau" is [o] and it's mute after a "g" or a "q", so 4 different sound depending on what letter(s) is before or after ; now for english there are many different pronunciation and I can't see any logic or pattern, so for the sounds with examples : influence [u], rule [u:], quest [w], guide [ø], mute [ju:], industry [ə], failure [jə], bury [ɛ], turn [ɜ:], purity [jʊ(ə)], plural [ʊ(ə)], busy [ɪ], but [ʌ].
I've never seen anyone in these vids bring as much Energy as the Spanish guy did. He kinda stole the show, the French guys doesn't know how to handle it😂
As a Dutch human, I find it quite easy to pronounce other languages in a proper way. With most languages that is quite possible; accept the English language because there are so many accents, that as a dutch person you need to choose which accent you want to copy. Because the other choice is sounding "double dutch" which means sounding completely dutch while you speak the english words and to my mind that sounds horrible. Funny enough people who like to sound English tend to resort to the posh London, Royal sound. I found that there is actually no middle way. The fun part if you manage to speak in a posh way as a dutch person, no one will detect you are actually dutch! :) I think no other country can pull this off, because of the neutrality of the Dutch language. Of course you need to drop the hard sounding "g".
@@xohyuu These things are impossible to quantify, but there are interesting things to say here. Grammar: While very different on paper, the differences are unimportant. Syntax is the same largely and if you simply assume that the complex German case system is actually largely unimportant for communication the differences become really rather small (Dutch dropped almost the entire case system). Vocabulary: Most words are different, but when you learn the other language you will start to get a 'feel' for certain rules that exist. The Grimm brothers (yes, the famous ones) already noticed this when comparing dialects within Germany, leading to what we now know as the High German consonant shifts. Dutch just didn't undergo these consonant shifts apart from 'th' -> 'd' (which didn´t happen in English). Given that Standard German has all these consonant shifts the differences are quite large, but you can sort of guess what the word in the other language would be by applying these shifts. Does mean Dutch people will have a far easier time understanding Low German dialects and also, of course, English comes naturally to the Dutch (there's only 'th' -> 'd' to deal with) while the Germans have to do much more retracing of consonant shifts.

It's funny, I usually yell something similar to "Kreuzschlitzschraubenzieher!" when I accidentally hit myself in the thumb with a hammer while working on projects. Or I'll yell something in Germisch like "dummhammer" "schweinnail". "Schlitz" was/is? actually a brand name of malt liquor that was/is? made in Milwaukee "The beer that made Milwaukee famous" was the tag line. I remember the "chen" at the end sort of meaning a small, cute thing. "Streifenhoernchen" being like a chipmunk/ground squirrel, "Eichhoernchen" for the normal squirrel, etc. As far as the English portion, their battle with the word "ignominious" was actually a pretty good demonstration of what the word means.
"Yoghurt" is a Turkish word (Turkish: "yoğurt") I don't know if this is the right way that it's written in Turkish, any Turkish people out there correct me if I'm wrong, but I do know it's a Turkish word
And from what I know, the Turkish ğ is a soft g that is almost not spoken and causes the preceding vowel to lengthen . So the French spelling as „yaourt“ actually comes from that .
@@Mike8827 indeed, its like the greek Γ γ, ghamma, or the arabic غ ghain, is an H sound with your vocal cords activated. If turkish loanwords come from pre modern turkish, this letter is still pronounced, for example in Greece we use the turkish word doğru (mostly older people, and rarely), but we pronounce the ğ(and also changed the o for a u: duğru) bc it entered our language before turks started to ignore the "yumushak ge" (ğ)

Alexander is cute and all, but he was wrong when saying the "R" is not the same as in German. It's exactly the same as in German, but for some reason French people always refuse to admit it. Germans don't scratch the "R" either. It's the exact same, except that half of the German "R" turn into "A" when they're at the end of a syllable. So we would say "me-a-ci" instead of "merrrci", or "Dio-a" instead of "Diorrr". But if it's at the beginning, it's the exact same, for example in "Rose".
I don't know.,,I am from Germany's northernmost state and I tongue-roll my Rs with a passion, no guttural sounds for me^^ Very few of my friends speak textbook standardized German. I wish the participants would mention which region they grew up in, like Lauren does.
@@patax144 I mean, you can go back to some of the previous videos and check for yourself :D In the "Ferrari" video, Alexander literally gave Nele the "yeah same bro" look and smiled, because it was the exact same. Or in the videos with Soledad and Elena, they kept laughing because they were similar all the time (e.g. "Orange", "Rose" etc). It's the same, really, trust me. All of the "R" sounds that Alexander ever made are all within the normal range of "R" sounds that Germans make as well. Sometimes we roll our uvular more, sometimes we roll it less.

As a French person speaking English and German fluently on a daily basis, I must say that French grammar is the worst in my opinion. German grammar simply has a lot of rules but once you know them it makes sense. French grammar has no logic whatsoever and tons of exceptions.
As a German, speaking French and English, I had to learn French twice. French people don't speak with the same rules, that are teached in school. So, I'm with you. We Germans have some of exeptions as well, but we normally don't mind, if someone speaks German with some grammar mistakes- as long, as we know, that he's not German. If he's German and just makes small grammar mistakes - he will be harshly corrected!

The word "yogurt" is believed to have come from the Turkish word "yoğurmak," which means to thicken, coagulate, or curdle.
Yaourt is a masculine noun in French that refers to yogurt in English: un yaourt. The plural is des yaourts. In French, you can also use yoghourt or yogourt.

This is a feature I like of German
Its a KreuzschlitzschraubenDREHER It doesn't pull (ziehen) the screws in/out it rotates/turn/spin (drehen) it in or out.
And the Kreuzschlitz screwhead is known in english as Phillips screwhead
Or broken down even further:
die Ente (ENT-UH) = the duck
das Entchen = the duckling / ducky (ending -chen or -lein always makes a noun a diminutive and neuter gender)
quietschen (CVEECH-UN) = to squeak
das Quietsche|entchen = the squeaking ducky (i.e. the rubber ducky)
das Kreuz (CROYTS) = the cross
der Schlitz (SHLITS) = the slot / slit
der Kreuz|schlitz = the cross slot
die Schraube/-n (SHROU-BUH/-BEN) = the screw(s)
die Kreuz|schlitz|schraube = the cross-slot screw
ziehen (TSEE-UN) = to pull
der Zieher (TSEE-UR) = the puller
der Schrauben|zieher = the screw puller (i.e. screwdriver)
der Kreuz|schlitz|schrauben|zieher = the cross-slot screw puller (i.e. cross-slot screwdriver)

@@Nikioko Just a Addition: As Germans, we like our norms and laws, and so, according to our DIN norm, it's officially "Schraubendreher".

Compound words tend to be very easy to read when you know the language - you're probably going to know the parts of the compounds, and you also know how the syllable structure works, so you're going to be able to see the word boundaries. But sometimes you do get real ambiguity, obviously.

ignominious is pronounced ignomínious, with the stress in the third syllable.
Yeah, I thought that maybe the British pronunciation was different than American English. We have it as Ig-No-MINI-us.
She seems to have mixed it up with 'ominous' (from 'omen' in Latin).
It's not a common word, maybe she didn't want to admit she doesn't know what it is/means (hell, I forgot), because it has nothing to do with the Latin omnes/omnia.
@@uamsnof Yes, but that "omnia"-nonsense didn't come from her. There was probably also confusion with the Greek "eponymous". Ignominious just derives from the Latin "ig-nomen" ("not name").

@@nyctophylos Yup, in Turkish the "ğ" in "yoğurt" is silent, which is why it's so interesting that English & German (yoghurt) kept the "g" but ignored the pronunciation, whereas French (yaourt) kept the pronunciation and ignored the spelling :D
@@andyx6827 The French transcribed the world as they heard it and because yogurt was made popular in France when Turkish was written in Arabic Ottoman script, there was no guidelines on how to write it. The word entered English much later when Turkish was written in the Latin script. France still is and by very far the country that consumes the most Western-style yogurt, so nothing will change that word.
I didn’t know the French pronounced it correctly. We Swiss use “yogourt” and never “yaourt” and we alway make fun of the French for not pronouncing it like in every other language :D
They chose Yogourt and Mercredi as hard word in French? Hahahaha what a joke. 😅
(as a native french speaker who learned english and spanish) If you know how the words are spelled : spanish is the easiest, almost every letter has 1 pronunciation and every letter of the word are prononced (only exception I can remember of is "ll" pronunced "li" or "i") ; I'm not objective but french comes after, the difficulty comes from mute letters and combination of letters (for exemple "au" sounds like "o") so letters sound different depending on the context but I think once you know the rules it's less difficult (more or less because there are always some exception) ; lastly for english (I don't know about german) there are just no rules 😂😂, the sound of vowels are mixed (english "e" is "i" in every other european language for exemple), like french letters can sound different depending the context but also and unlike french just depending the word (maybe there is a logic, but I can't find it 😅). For exemple if we take the letter "u" (with phonetic alphabet) in spanish it's always [u], in french by default it's [y] but "ou" is [u], "eu" is [ə] and "au" or "eau" is [o] and it's mute after a "g" or a "q", so 4 different sound depending on what letter(s) is before or after ; now for english there are many different pronunciation and I can't see any logic or pattern, so for the sounds with examples : influence [u], rule [u:], quest [w], guide [ø], mute [ju:], industry [ə], failure [jə], bury [ɛ], turn [ɜ:], purity [jʊ(ə)], plural [ʊ(ə)], busy [ɪ], but [ʌ].

As a Dutch human, I find it quite easy to pronounce other languages in a proper way. With most languages that is quite possible; accept the English language because there are so many accents, that as a dutch person you need to choose which accent you want to copy. Because the other choice is sounding "double dutch" which means sounding completely dutch while you speak the english words and to my mind that sounds horrible. Funny enough people who like to sound English tend to resort to the posh London, Royal sound. I found that there is actually no middle way. The fun part if you manage to speak in a posh way as a dutch person, no one will detect you are actually dutch! :) I think no other country can pull this off, because of the neutrality of the Dutch language. Of course you need to drop the hard sounding "g".
What percent of similarity have Dutch ﹠ German languages? ⁰¹Vocabulary ⁰²Grammar | Пусть наш Бог хранит Үкраїну.
@@xohyuu These things are impossible to quantify, but there are interesting things to say here.
Grammar: While very different on paper, the differences are unimportant. Syntax is the same largely and if you simply assume that the complex German case system is actually largely unimportant for communication the differences become really rather small (Dutch dropped almost the entire case system).
Vocabulary: Most words are different, but when you learn the other language you will start to get a 'feel' for certain rules that exist. The Grimm brothers (yes, the famous ones) already noticed this when comparing dialects within Germany, leading to what we now know as the High German consonant shifts. Dutch just didn't undergo these consonant shifts apart from 'th' -> 'd' (which didn´t happen in English). Given that Standard German has all these consonant shifts the differences are quite large, but you can sort of guess what the word in the other language would be by applying these shifts. Does mean Dutch people will have a far easier time understanding Low German dialects and also, of course, English comes naturally to the Dutch (there's only 'th' -> 'd' to deal with) while the Germans have to do much more retracing of consonant shifts.

Hardest European words? Don't think so, you need Polish or Hungarian people for that. :)
They didn't even used really difficult spanish words
Lol yeah and also "european words"? All of latin america speaks spanish and a ton of countries speak french
@@maximipe yes, they speak European langauges...
*Czech enters* Strč prst skrz krk or třista stříbrných stříkaček přelítlo třista stříbrných střech
I speak Hungarian, German, English and Spanish, but the most difficult for me are French and Dutch
I was hoping for the word "Streichholzschächtelchen"
Me too actually. May I ask if you are German too or if you’re just learning German?
i cant wait for the entitled americans that say "spanish is not a european language" xD
Yoghurt is a Turkish dish and the origin of the yoghurt is Turkish(yoğurt)
I like how the German girl looks like a Dutch girl I know and the French guy looks like a German guy I know. That really shows that culture matters more than looks :)
What do French people look like lol? We're so diverse!
@@charles1413 I said the French guy looks like a German guy I know personally. I know we’re all diverse 😁
@@LaSa1 Sorry, I read your comment too quickly :'(
I love Gabriel
Alexander is cute and all, but he was wrong when saying the "R" is not the same as in German. It's exactly the same as in German, but for some reason French people always refuse to admit it. Germans don't scratch the "R" either. It's the exact same, except that half of the German "R" turn into "A" when they're at the end of a syllable. So we would say "me-a-ci" instead of "merrrci", or "Dio-a" instead of "Diorrr". But if it's at the beginning, it's the exact same, for example in "Rose".
Every accent and language is unique in their own way. Some words with an R don't exist in some, but do with others.
my german teacher said otherwise, but I don't know anymore
No I speack both french and german, the prunounciation is close but not the same
I don't know.,,I am from Germany's northernmost state and I tongue-roll my Rs with a passion, no guttural sounds for me^^ Very few of my friends speak textbook standardized German. I wish the participants would mention which region they grew up in, like Lauren does.
@@patax144 I mean, you can go back to some of the previous videos and check for yourself :D
In the "Ferrari" video, Alexander literally gave Nele the "yeah same bro" look and smiled, because it was the exact same.
Or in the videos with Soledad and Elena, they kept laughing because they were similar all the time (e.g. "Orange", "Rose" etc).
It's the same, really, trust me. All of the "R" sounds that Alexander ever made are all within the normal range of "R" sounds that Germans make as well. Sometimes we roll our uvular more, sometimes we roll it less. Just like every French person.
