Albania - Since Jack thinks that the Albanian flag is very nice, its capital sounds like Tiana hence its capital is Tirana...

How sad that the queen couldnt witness this historical day of jack finally learning all the capital cities of the world (at least european capitals) ☹️
For the hard to spell capitals, I recommend you look up how to pronounce them. I know it doesn't really make sense, but it definitely does help. A lot more than you would think it would. Also when you get to Asia, you don't necessarily have to know how to spell Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte. You can just put in Colombo.
Hi Jack, really enjoy these videos! I decided to learn the capitals after seeing all the comments, just to see if I could. I found the 'capital match' quizzes on Sporcle were really helpful just to get them memorised initially.
(12:45) I get that some capital cities are annoying to spell because they don't have an English spelling. Slovene capital Ljubljana is pronounced /ljubljaːna/, which with English spelling could be "Lyublyana", but the first Y /j/ might get lost over time, simplifying it to "Lublyana". Same goes with the Icelandic capital Reykjavík, pronounced /reiːcaviːk/, so in English could be "Raykaveek", or using the English cognate with "vík" being "wick", it could be "Raykavick". But it is what it is...
"Lj" in Ljubljana is actually one letter. Ljubav means love. So Ljubljana is kind of like a city of love. I live in Croatia, close to Ljubljana so i dont know if thats 100% correct cuz i know croatian, not slovenian. Hope it helped
also Ljubov is love in Bulgarian. Ljubljana is beloved according to google. You fall in love with the city. Laibach is the German name for the same city.
I've been watching your geography videos for a while now, and they inspired me to do stuff on flags. I used to only know a few flags, but now I know all of them (though I struggle with some of the spelling) I tried out the Europe capitals for the first time when I saw the title of this video. I tried a similar quiz a few months ago and only got 12 correct. I've been trying to learn them all and on my first attempt at this particular quiz, I got 45/47, only getting the capital of Malta (I was like 2 letters off) and Moldova (had nooo clue) wrong. So I revised them and did it again, getting 47/47! I'm convinced it was you who helped haha
Hi Jack, I have a tip for Ljubljana. I’m from Sweden and here ”lj” makes the sound ”j”. For example the word light in swedish is ”ljus” but we don’t pronounce the ”L”, it’s just ”jus”. So here’s the tip. Imagine Ljubljana as ”jubjana”. It’s very easy to say ”jub-jana”. After that just put a L infront of the j’s and you get Ljubljana. So don’t think about the L’s, it’s just confusing👍Hope that helps, love your content here on this channel. You’ll get through this, we’ll get through this with you!❤️
Excited to finally see Jack learn capitals! You were wondering how to spell Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, Kiev is the russian way to write it, Kyiv is grammatically correct
In India and many other commonwealth nations, we studied Kiev as the correct spelling. Severe apologies for getting it wrong from all of us. I wish for your good health
We actually had to name all countries and all capital cities of europe and place them correctly on a map for a geography exam in 9th grade xD Good times
Oceania is not that hard as there are only a few countries The hardest is definitly Africa, with the most countries and weird name (for europeans) like "ouagadougou" or "antananarivo". I think that Asia was the second hardest to learn, espacially all the stan countries imo
@@napstarem7503 Question for you since you you've learned all the capitals. What would be the next easiest continent. North America or Oceania? I already did Europe and South America.
@@FELlX. because Macedonia is an ancient country covering a big area of Greece as well, so there is a region in Greece called Macedonia, bordering north macedonia. So North Macedonia tried to be Macedonia, but got into a dispute about it with Greece, and ended up being North Macedonia.
@@VitalityLuitraOfficial There is also a part of Belgium called Luxembourg. So far, I'm not aware of any Belgian who has a problem with a country called Luxembourg. The historical animosities between Greece and its neighbours are ... special.
I started learning the capitals when this video dropped. I learnt Europe, Asia and South America on the first day, most of Oceania, North America and Africa the next, almost all the countries by the third and today, I learn the final two with which I was struggling to spell (Ouagadougou and Yamoussoukro). On the fourth day, I have learnt all the capitals. You can do it too jack
