English is one of the prettiest and best languages ever made like Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / Norwegian / Gothic etc, and all should be learning English and the other prettiest languages ever 2gether as they are way too pretty not to know, plus they are the languages that should be the universal languages - this review is ns and it isn’t based on truth and facts, as are most other reviews, so learners should never choose based on reviews and recommendations, since most aren’t fair or factual! Besides, English is English, no such thing as American, and those are just accents, which are different, depending on the region, but the language itself is only one, and it is the Modern English language, which is the easiest and most practical language ever created in every way, and it is also one of the prettiest ever, so all should be learning English to a writer level or at least to a native speaker level! Lol, I cannot even believe that there are still ppl in the 21st century that aren’t fluent in English, but anyways, learners should also know that the TH in English is not an F sound, and that it is a type of T sound (approximant of T) in words like think / thing / thin etc and it is a type of D (approximant of D) in words like this / the / that (dis / duh / dat) and they are called the thorn sound aka þ / Þ and the eth sound aka ð / Ð and they are also used in Icelandic and Norse, and the eth sound is also used in Spanish in words like nada etc, so they are just less obvious T and D sounds that are kind of lispt!
English is English, not American, and American English vs British English vs Australian English are just the different standard accents, not different languages, and also, there are over 3 billion speakers of English, if one includes the ones that speak it at a B1 or B2 level aka the intermediates, and, all ppl are the exact opposite of ‘royalty’ and are just an avrg citizen made to obey the avrg citizen’s laws and rules, as everyone else, and I am THE only Royalty aka the pure / superior being, and my pure protectors aka the alphas too, and I also am the only girl / feminine being, and réłationships are only meant for us pure beings (me & the pure protectors) and were never meant for ppl, and there must be a distance between all ppl at all times and no śÿnńing, and one should never learn languages to ‘get x or y’ etc, it’s literally the most efd non-reason to learn anything, and the right reasons to learn languages are for their pretty and poetic words, so all should only learn the pretty languages for their pretty words and for their pretty sounds etc, which is the wise thing to do and the key to being a successful polyglot, as one naturally learns the prettier and more distinctive words faster, which makes pretty languages the easiest languages ever - grammatical genders are a very necessary and great and logical part of every pretty language that isn’t neutral with neutral word endings, so nouns that sound masculine or that reflect a masculine element or that have masculine word endings should be a masculine noun, and very few languages work without grammatical genders, including English which is a very neutral language that doesn’t have strong word endings, and, English pronunciation is one of the easiest pronunciation ever, including the TH sounds which are just T and D sounds that are made in a less obvious way, maybe the ones teaching English don’t know how to properly explain these sounds, or maybe the ones learning aren’t good at imitating the sounds and don’t know the words automatically yet, which is why they find it difficult!
Yes, Uzbek accent is virtually unnoticeable, but Karakalpaki accent is just so tough and remarkable. It is such a fraud that he claims he is from Pennsylvania!

As someone who speaks American as my native language, visiting London, I am absolutely stunned that English is a real language. I thought it was a conlang made for actors like in Shakespeare.
Every language IS a conlang, duh, languages didn’t magically come out of thin air, each language was created by a dude by modifying a previous language or multiple previous languages and by creating lots of new words based on the new spelling rules that he’d set, except for the first language ever created Proto European that was made by a dude from scratch a long time ago and that came with the first writing system, which inspired all other languages and writing systems that exist today, either directly or indirectly!

English IS a Germanic language, not a Latin language, since it sounds and looks 100% Germanic, and English has the most logical spelling and pronunciation rules, which is why it sounds AND looks awesome and serious and professional, as the creator of English was a true linguist that knew that the pronunciation of each word must be decided based on what sounds best for each word, which is why rough is pronounced with an F sound, as it should! Technically, all the pretty languages that are well-constructed have words that are spellt the same and pronounced differently, and also, words that are spellt differently and pronounced the same, and, they even have words with multiple meanings etc, which is what makes the languages more fun and more diverse, and, learners are supposed to actively learn each word with its pronunciation and spelling, just as natives did passively, which is the right way to learn pretty languages! Germanic languages come from Latin, anyway, and where most words directly or indirectly come from doesn’t make the language what it is, it’s the word endings and the letter combinations and the sound patterns and the combination of sounds and the pronunciation rules etc that make a language what it is, and any true linguist would know these facts, so a language could have only words from Latin, but if its letter combinations and its word endings for verbs and nouns and adjectives etc and its sound patterns etc are Germanic, it is a Germanic language one hundred percent, as the words are modified into Germanic words, which means that words that come from Latin are no longer Latin, once the new word endings and letter combinations or the new pronunciation rules etc are applied, which turn them into Germanic words!
As an American Speaker for his first language, I can say that the Yorkshire dialects when I lived in England as a child were particularly hard for me to understand. Also, the Scots dialect is hard to understand, but luckily most people from my experience dial back the dialect when talking to a non local.
How do other people describe @LanguageSimp to people they know who aren’t into language learning? My friend asked what I was doing, and I said “my favorite RUclips language learning comedian just dropped a new video so I’m watching it…”. That statement was followed by a lot of silence. 😂
You gave me inspiration to keep learning Languages, I was born learning Hebrew and Russian at the same time, then moving to Canada forced me to learn French and English, Dur to your videos however I continued growing my language skills and actually decided to learn Arabic and Spanish, I'm currently in grade 11 taking Chinese as a side class ❤ Thank you for giving my the inspo to grow my skills more!!
I went to a Starbucks once in America and asked for a cappuccino grande and I accidentally used my beta male Mexican accent in the word grande (which is 101 % similar to the American grande word used in Starbucks) it's literally the same word ... the girl who was taking my order had a hard time with my tacoland pronunciation ... it was very surprising to me and even if I was still a beta with a Mexican accent, I felt like a giga chad for being able to speak 2 languages, or at least 1.5. Then I remembered that there is nothing special about learning English and nobody gives a crap, so I proceeded to drink my awful ghwrande coffee with my tortilla chips and beans.
As an Brazilian, the only thing that they teach in school here is verb to be, which makes most of the population not able to speak english, i learned by interacting with native english speakers in game, watching videos of english speakers and my mother putting english things in tv so i could learn, and here we are also really diverse in accents and people whose ancestors were imigrants from another country (i have ancestors from Germany and Italy)
That seems to be a common theme. Japanese seem to be very hesitant to speak English even though they get multiple years of it because the instruction is very basic route memorization, with no pronunciation practice. In my state, in the US, we're required to take 3 years of a foreign language, and most take Spanish as a sort of "default" option. I can assure you though, most people in my state would not call themselves Spanish speakers.
I didn't really learn English for the reasons listed on the video (Except maybe for the DLC it unlocks) but for its musicality instead, it's so easy to rhyme English words and its capacity to adapt and/or absorb foreign words makes it perfect for song-writing about any topic, no wonder rap music developed in English speaking countries.
it’s way easier to write songs in spanish or Italian. our words with abrupt endings can sound more harsh in songs. an extreme version of that would be songs in german i imagine.
As a person from the UK who moved to Texas, I have a semi-weird, hybrid accent. I have an Texan accent, (no, not like the stereotype) but I still pronounce some words how a Brit would. Lol. Some people like it, others just look at me like I'm weird when a say a certain word in a different way.
We talk just like any other American with the standard accent. I hardly ever hear anybody speak with a southern accent or “Texas” accent as you put it.
As someone born and raised in Texas, I can’t say I have a very strong, stereotypical Texan accent. I mean yeah sure, I can conjure up one pretty well. I’m sure I have something akin to a Southern twang. But to someone up North, I would probably be mostly indistinguishable. My own Southern twang only comes out with certain words, really. I will say, this dialect is incredibly infectious. “Y’all” is too useful of a word. When you eat Texas BBQ brisket, you’ll start talking like George W. Bush himself, like you were born and raised in a small town called something stupid like “Pottsville” that’s west of El Paso, and your best friend was a tumble weed.
As a native english speaker i want anyone whose learning english to know im genuinely impressed at your accomplishments in learning my language. Im learning español right now, and because learning spanish has taught me how untrivial learning a new language can be, ive grown to really appreciate people who have taken their time to learn english.
It's actually not so hard because there's a ton of content in youtube with subtitles. I came to english speaking youtube at a pretty low level and started remembering some words and phrases, not even thinking about tenses and grammar, altrough I knew some things. And now I am even brave enough to reply to youtube comment
@@gigogrom216 same story. For some reason, it was rather easy to grasp the English vocabulary and grammar by mainly consuming online media. Can't say the same about German though, this language requires a lot more effort for me to learn.
As a non-native speaker I think the easiest way to overcome English as a learner is consuming content whether it be from movies, TV shows, RUclips, games and other social media as well as interactions with people online that's how all my friends and I learned English. I have also noticed that the knowledge and understanding of the language as well as getting the jokes made in English and understanding the slang is very easy since you're accustomed to it.
Yeah same here. I hear a lot of talk about it not being taught in their schools, but really I am from NL and I learned fuck all in school when it comes to English. Was way ahead of the classes like almost everyone from just watching cartoons in English as a child and later on movies. You just naturally soak in the language wich kinda makes you wonder what the best way to learn a language really is. I suppose you need to just watch movies.
My early English learning experience outside of the minimal basics in school is playing Sim City 2000 with a dictionary next to the PC. (Which was the only way to look up words in video games back then. IIRC you couldn't just alt-tab out of the game and into the offline dictionary program you bought at a local store for 200 bucks.)
This video really came in handy! This week classes begin in Brazil and I'll be teaching english to kids who never studied the language before, so I was thinking of giving them a preview of what it will be for them. You just saved a ton of time, so thanks!
@@ducciwucci I compared with other videos and there’s just something off about the way he talks in this one, but he talks in the middle of slow and fast in the first place(including that really slow country drawl)
Although us Brits won't scream and do backflips when you speak our language, we will when you pronounce any place name correctly. Especially with Birmingham, you really want to emphasize the 'h', making sure to pronounce every letter clearly, and how it's written
@watcher2424 Unfortunately I'm not that good at Russian, but thanks to google translate I think I understand the question. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're asking how to pronounce it in English. I speak American English so I pronounce it "Ber-meen-ham".
I find it ironic that my value as a member in my society got higher because I was better than my peers at understanding and using the lingua franca. My understanding of English carried me through my school and academic life. The language opened up the floodgate that's called internet content so I became more knowledgeable in my areas of interest. It's both weird and wonderful that how just being able to speak English carried me through my life but that alone obviously won't be enough for me to secure in the near future. So, that situation irked me and I started to desire learning more languages and gain real life skills. But Simp is right. American is so sophisticated it took way too much place on my brain. I can't learn another language now
Lang Simp I challenge you to take the Clozemaster 10 languages 10 questions each challenge. Pick any 10 languages video yourself taking the challenge and inspire us. (whether you have studied are familiar with or not). This is a fun opportunity to showcase your talent with a little bit of humility proving you too are human and still a language learner. You can put the flags of the 10 languages you choose for the challenge in both the thumbnail and the title and tag the video as #takingtheclosemaster 10 languages challenge. While also tagging the languages of the challenge. When choosing from a diverse variety of languages consider this, to include some of those you're familiar with, those that you are not, and those that you will later learn. Choosing to include a conlang like Interlingua and an ancient language like Latin will keep the challenge diverse while bringing recognition to these languages (you may surprise yourself). Consider getting a hold of Clozemaster they may be interested in sponsoring the video. We as a community of language Learners need a challenge that we can all appreciate and try together. To get the most out of the video challenge adjust the settings as follows: put the skills to listening, the question count to 10, and the mode to multiple choice. Then you can adjust the account to dark mode (as it's more attractive) and the default speed to 75% for better hearing the questions. Doing a dry run will ensure all the settings are correct. Keep a notepad by your side to keep track of the language scores. Before you end the video it would be nice if you encouraged other polyglots and language Learners to take up the challenge. Buenas suerte Carpe Diem السلام عليكم
I hated English when it was taught in school, my level was 0. Then I studied it for fun quite successfully. And yes, it takes up too much brain space, I started forgetting my native words😂
same except I probably still hate English, fuck modal verbs and fuck stress and fuck vowel length. interrogative are also done in the stupidest way possible, and 'can' has got to be the most aids-inducing verb ever, and I've yet to talk about the writing of it all. And yet I think in English from time to time (but it's making me lose braincells for sure)
@@abarette_what is wrong with modal verbs or with 'can'? My native language is Italin and both modal verbs and the way you use can in english can be traced back 1 to 1 to italian counterparts. What's your native language, and how does it handle the couterpart of the english modal verbs?
@@abarette_Heck, vowel length makes no sense to me as a native speaker. Apparently people are taught 'long i' and 'short i' when length is almost irrelevant
@@jan_Masewin Oh, I was wondering what they were talking about with the "vowel length" (Japanese?). But yeah, the tongue is in a different position. [i] and [ɪ] is their ы (troublesome vowel(s)). [θ] and [ð] is their р, or trilled [r] (troublesome consonant(s) (at least it is for me)).
As a native English speaker, there are so many native accents that other natives aren't aware of that I very often get told on holidays that "I speak very good English!", maybe because I'm Asian. So unfortunately, maybe SHOCKING THE LOCALS isn't out of the question...
@@Alessandro_Batistuda When talking about the intonations and manners of speech, it's usually referred to as an "accent", no? "Australian accent", "Irish accent", "New York accent", "British accent", etc...
If you want to maximize your default languages you need to spawn on the Dutch side near the Belgian language border from immigrant parents. That way you automatically unlock Dutch, French, English, whatever native language your parents speak and German if you just learn how to pronounce their letters, some basic words and phrases.
12:36 When I first came to Britain, each time I pronounced “r” and “th” the correct way, all of the pedestrians closer than one mile away from me started doing quadruple backflips, praising me and giving me money, so yeah, Britz are most likely to appreciate you for learning their language

Pfff, Arabic is a non-pretty language and one of the most overrated languages ever, I am so syhk of hearing about Arabic and Japanese and Chinese and Korean and all other non-pretty languages that aren’t fun to hear and see and learn etc, and I wish everyone støpped talking about non-pretty languages, and I wish all started talking about and recommending the pretty languages only with the best reviews, as pretty languages are the ones that should be learnt and spoken etc, and the prettiest languages ever Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / English / Norwegian / Gothic are the languages that deserve the most attention and they are the languages that should be learnt and spoken by all - however, this review is totally untrue and incorrect and unfair, and it shouldn’t have been made at all, as most other reviews, and, ppl shouldn’t even be ałw’d to review languages or to vote etc, since ppl in general cannot be objective and fair and don’t usually give the right ratings and votes, and they usually give the prettiest languages ever a negative review on purpose, while giving the most non-pretty languages positive reviews, for no logical reason, it literally makes no sense, so no one should choose languages based on yt reviews or recommendations etc, and, only I have the correct rankings and recommendations!
@@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038 You're logic is basically: "the languages around where i was born are pretty anything else is non-pretty" that's just being subjective and biased
It’s the facts, and all I said is an objective fact, not subjective - also, Hungarian is not similar to Germanic languages as it’s an agglutinative language, and it’s a pretty language with mostly pretty words, so it’s total ns that it’s ‘just the languages around me’ lol!
And, English IS a Germanic language, not a Latin language, since it sounds and looks 100% Germanic, and English has the most logical spelling and pronunciation rules, which is why it sounds AND looks awesome and serious and professional, as the creator of English was a true linguist that knew that the pronunciation of each word must be decided based on what sounds best for each word, which is why rough is pronounced with an F sound, as it should, and, technically, all the pretty languages that are well-constructed have words that are spellt the same and pronounced differently, and also, words that are spellt differently and pronounced the same, and, they even have words with multiple meanings etc, which is what makes the languages more fun and more diverse, and, learners are supposed to actively learn each word with its pronunciation and spelling, just as natives did passively, which is the right way to learn pretty languages!

There are only a few pretty languages, and they are on my list of languages I want to learn and improve - most of the pretty languages came in a more direct way from the first language ever created Proto European that a dude created from scratch a long time ago along with the first writing system ever, which inspired all other languages and writing systems that exist today, either directly or indirectly, and Proto European was a pretty well-constructed language with lots of pretty words, especially considering how ancient it is! So most European languages had a real strong base, whereas most other languages were just inspired by the idea of creating an actual language and by certain words and elements from it or from other languages that were made from it, but most of their words were constructed at random with random syllables and random combinations of vowels and consonants that don’t go well 2gether, so most languages are just random sounds and random letters słæpt 2gether, which is why most of their words are non-pretty and funny-sounding or embarrassingly funny with very non-pretty word endings and letter combinations that aren’t a good letter combination! And, very few are / were capable of creating perfect and gorgeous languages with great letter combinations and pretty word endings that are a real work of art, such as English and Norse and Icelandic and Norwegian and Gothic the other Norse languages and Dutch and the modern Celtic languages, which are absolute perfection in almost every way, as creating such pretty languages requires a lot of natural artistic talent and having a mind on the logical side and having a good eye / ear for prettiness and harmonies and good pattern recognition skills and good observational skills and good analytical skills, and my protectors & I have the best of these skills and the supreme artistic talents, but I still cannot create a language that’s prettier than Norse / Icelandic / English / Dutch / Gothic, as they were already created by someone else, and it’s not possible to create a language that’s prettier than them!

Duuuuuuude. Thank you for teaching me about PHRASAL VERBS?! I have been trying to figure this out for months!! I am into linguistics and I literally have a saved note on my phone that's just phrasal verbs (I now know) and how they don't actually make any sense and would be a nightmare to learn for non native speakers. DUDE!!! Like "looking forward to it"?? How does that mean I am excited? Forward is a DIRECTION?
As a Brazilian boy who has been learning English since 2021, I can say that I didn't understand most of what he said at the 11:40 minute. Btw something curious about Brazilian people is that most of them wish they could speak English "like a native English speaker", then I ask them "Okay, but native from where?". And it is funny because most people here can learn English by only using the internet, reading, watching and listening to every kind of content in English. Well, I've done an English course, but I've started learning English when I was a kid, with music and pokémon being my big teachers. Anyways, being able to speak both Portuguese(my first language) and English is just amazing. I hope to learn at least one more language!!
Actually there is shock factor in English, when you speak with a native speaker and you are expected to talk in your accent and then you suddenly shock them by talking in their own accent. I've seen many people do this, the reaction is priceless.
Hello, I would like to share my experience. I am originally from Kazakhstan, which is located in Central Asia. I am 25 years old and I recently started learning English on my own. I am interested in it, I want to learn it to level B. Before that I had experience in studying the Russian language. It was much easier and faster for me, since there were native speakers nearby and accessible materials for practice. But even so I had problems because the languages are different. Kazakh belongs to the type of agglutinative languages, archaic, and not too susceptible to modernization. The Russian language is inflexive, and more susceptible to globalization, it has a lot of international words, which just makes learning English easier for me.There are similarities and differences between languages. In both Kazakh and Russian there were only three tenses. Past, present and future. Just great. The difference was noticeable in only two things. The first is the generic designation of men and women in the Russian language, its absence in Kazakh. Prepositions and articles in the Russian language, without which it is impossible to construct a sentence, and its absence in Kazakh. Over time, you get used to this difference and find this phenomenon interesting. How cool, we are so different, it’s even nice.But here I am learning English. And I notice a HUGE difference in the form of this time, there are too many of them. Time changes a certain word into an absolutely different one. Its phonetic sound, the graphic designation of "miscellaneous", so that it is one word, becomes several words. The English language doesn't even explain to me why this is so? Where are the rules of the language, where is the logic? She just dictates that I learn all the words at once!😂😂😂 They say 3000 words level B. I'm shocked. Seriously? I already know 3000-4000 English words, but I can only construct a basic dialogue, and I will not always understand what was answered. Official data says that the English language contains 170,000 words. And the average vocabulary of English speakers is 20,000-50,000 words. The conclusion is that polyglots are very smart people. As a teacher, I assure you that 3000 words are suitable for the level of children 4-5 years old. And children are very, very stupid. It turns out we are also stupid with our basic level of English.
10:43 Fun Fact: While yes, the plural of fish is fish, it is also fishes. The difference being, that two fish means, there are two of the same kind, while two fishes are two of different kinds
As a linguist, I can confirm that the General American pronunciation is often a lot easier for foreign learners than the British Received pronunciation or most other accents in the UK.
English is one of the three languages i speak (four if you count my spanish, but i understand more than speak), and its deffinetly my favorite. By being this ungodly amalgamation of 7834578347484747 languages it IS really hard to learn, but the vocabulary is incredible. I can express so many things in so many ways when talking in english that i just cant articulate the same way in portuguese or french
Suggestion for the next language review: One of the Uralic languages of Europe (Finnish/Estonian/Hungarian), perhaps? Finnish might be the most talked about from these 3 and make more aspiring polyglots respect you, but Hungarian might unlock more DLC as well as _shock more natives_ (and be more distinct from the other two).

All agglutinative languages are Uralic and come from the same Proto agglutinative language, pfff, and Hungarian is not similar to Finnish or Estonian at all - Hungarian is closely related to Turkish, not to Finnish!
English IS a Germanic language, not a Latin language, since it sounds and looks 100% Germanic, and English has the most logical spelling and pronunciation rules, which is why it sounds AND looks awesome and serious and professional, as the creator of English was a true linguist that knew that the pronunciation of each word must be decided based on what sounds best for each word, which is why rough is pronounced with an F sound, as it should! Technically, all the pretty languages that are well-constructed have words that are spellt the same and pronounced differently, and also, words that are spellt differently and pronounced the same, and, they even have words with multiple meanings etc, which is what makes the languages more fun and more diverse, and, learners are supposed to actively learn each word with its pronunciation and spelling, just as natives did passively, which is the right way to learn pretty languages! Germanic languages come from Latin, anyway, and where most words directly or indirectly come from doesn’t make the language what it is, it’s the word endings and the letter combinations and the sound patterns and the combination of sounds and the pronunciation rules etc that make a language what it is, and any true linguist would know these facts, so a language could have only words from Latin, but if its letter combinations and its word endings for verbs and nouns and adjectives etc and its sound patterns etc are Germanic, it is a Germanic language one hundred percent, as the words are modified into Germanic words, which means that words that come from Latin are no longer Latin, once the new word endings and letter combinations or the new pronunciation rules etc are applied, which turn them into Germanic words!
I highly recommend learning the prettiest languages ever created Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / Norwegian / Gothic, which are as gorgeous / refined / poetic as English and way too pretty not to know, and also Welsh / Breton / Cornish etc, which are also gorgeous, 2gether with Hungarian - Hungarian is a pretty language, and it’s prettier than Finnish and Estonian, as it looks more Germanic, plus its prettiest words are comparable to Germanic words!
English is one of the prettiest and best languages ever made like Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / Norwegian / Gothic etc, and all should be learning English and the other prettiest languages ever, which should be the universal languages - this review is ns and it isn’t based on truth and facts, as are most other reviews, so learners should never choose based on reviews and recommendations, since most aren’t fair or factual! Besides, English is English, no such thing as American, and those are just accents, which are different, depending on the region, but the language itself is only one, and it is the Modern English language, which is the easiest and most practical language ever created in every way, and it is also one of the prettiest ever, so all should be learning English to a writer level or at least to a native speaker level! There is also no such thing as ‘culture’ and ppl are just misusing that term, and, culture is all about nature if it exists, it doesn’t have anything to do with groups of ppl!
By the way, there are actually over 3 billion speakers of English, if one includes the ones that speak it at a B1 or B2 level aka the intermediates, and, all ppl are the exact opposite of ‘royalty’ and are just an avrg citizen made to obey the avrg citizen’s laws and rules, as everyone else, and I am THE only Royalty aka the pure / superior being, and my pure protectors aka the alphas too, and I also am the only girl / feminine being, and réłationships are only meant for us pure beings (me & the pure protectors) and were never meant for ppl, and there must be a distance between all ppl at all times and no śÿnńing, and one should never learn languages to ‘get x or y’ etc, it’s literally the most efd non-reason to learn anything, and the right reasons to learn languages are for their pretty and poetic words, so all should only learn the pretty languages for their pretty words and for their pretty sounds etc, which is the wise thing to do and the key to being a successful polyglot, as one naturally learns the prettier and more distinctive words faster, which makes pretty languages the easiest languages ever!

Besides, Germanic languages come from Latin, anyway, so it makes sense that they have tons of cognates with Latin languages, and they aren’t loanwords usually - Slavic languages also come from Latin, and, even the modern Celtic languages come mostly from Latin and Norse, which is why the modern Celtic languages are so pretty and elvish and give off strong Norse / Dutch / English / Germanic vibes and have mostly words that come from Latin and Norse and English!
I speak fluent English but i don't remember ever learning it or trying to, just every movie, game, show, label and basically everywhere i look, there's English My brain just magically absorbed it

1:41 I did, in fact, learn English to watch My Little Pony in it's original language, and I feel called out. But it was worth it, because this language unlocked ridiculous amounts of content throughout the Internet.
Learning English has made me a lazy language learner now putting the work of learning an entire new language just to unlock less than 1/10th of the DLC you get when learning English just doesn't seem worth it.
You can get by in English without getting around to getting into the more obscure phrasal verbs so no need to get down on yourself if you don't always get them, but once you get through the early stages (hopefully without letting the stranger ones get to you) and get over initial points of confusion (like how it is that I can get away with get getting used so often in this comment) you'll get to get a load of the reactions that others will have to your new "get" at get togethers with native speakers who may have gotten used to you not using phrasal verbs. Maybe you'll even get along with them better because you'll have gotten more confident and outgoing! What I am getting at is getting ahead on phrasal verbs is something to get in on before time gets away from you that you will get a lot out of. You'll be glad you did once you have gotten past it. P.S. there might be errors in there I missed, that got painful to proofread.
I don't get what you are getting at but I will eventually get there hopefully without getting into much trouble and when I get there, I will get here and we will get ourselves some beer but for now, I really need to get going.
The beauty of English, since everybody learns it, is that it has the power to connect communities from all over the world. I'm from Brazil, fluent in English, and learning German as my third language. I've used Tandem a lot before getting the C1 level and I could learn a lot from a lot of different people coming from very unique cultural backgrounds. There were rooms where literally everybody was from a different country, but we could maintain a meaninful conversation and understand ourselves through English. And, at least in my opinion, since the main purpose for learning a new language is communication and cultural enrichment, English does a really well and unique job at it 🇧🇷🇺🇸🇩🇪
Yeah agreed, really the only point of a language is to facilitate communication, which English does better than any other language. This isn't really just because of the merits of the language itself as it is because of colonial history, although you could make the argument that the myriad of loanwords makes it somewhat more accessible to a wider audience, and that you can still be understood despite making lots of mistakes. Should be gigachad tier for becoming the de facto language of the world regardless
Geralmente as pessoas falam que "Saber inglês é o suficiente para ir para qualquer lugar", entretanto não é o suficiente para "manter uma boa conversa". Geralmente é melhor saber a língua nativa do local do que inglês. Inglês é mais interessante para assuntos acadêmicos, reuniões formais e criação de conteúdo, principalmente online. Acontece que se eu vou para a Itália, preciso saber italiano caso queira ter boas relações com as pessoas. Então: "Native language > Any supporting language"
As an Indian it is very important to Learn English in India to get a high paying job. Just because of English Language other native languages are side lined and it is sad to see people in India prioritize English not other languages to be learnt. 😶 Although I would say that English is universal language to connect with people and understand others.😵💫

As a Filipino, English is always mother tongue for me when I was young and it's more like native speaker. And also for me, at October in 2023.

At October 2023, I keeping starting through my acknowledge in words from dictionary. And I also keeping comprehensive the words through my adrift and arbiter mind. And start create essay and poem in creating through my own as a bliss, blithe, and benignant. So for 5 languages for me. I still keep learn through my advancing; instead, after class subject.

I think English is widely spoken becuase of the influence of certain attributes makes it little easier for alot of crowds. Since it has Celtic influence and Latin influence and even Germanic and I think Greek as well. This happened over time obviously and the British colonization initiated global influx of world wide speakers with knowledge about the English languages.

As a non-native English speaker, English is the best language I could have ever asked for and I am infinitely glad that it became the world’s international language. The international communication is way too useful to give up for the sake of something as silly as “language diversity”. Not to mention, English is already beautiful. Certainly better than Fr*nch.
That was the video I've been waiting for. Great review from a native english speaker perspective. If it's weird for you, can you imagine how it is for us as english learners? English may be confusing so times. Honestly, the most of the time this language doesn't make any sense, but we are forced to learn otherwise we wouldn't be able to talk to anyone else out of our native country.
10:57 I wonder if the old word "Thou" has the same origins as "Tu" (romanian, portuguese, french). In romanian it's also the informal version, the formal version is a much longer word "dumneavoastră", often abbreviated as "dvs." or "d-voastră" in written form.

As a non native English speaker, I think "Dogwater" is a little too harsh for a language that allows you to communicate with everyone, even with your goldfish. True, no one does backflips and no one gives a sh*it how you learnt it. and the pronunciation is just arbitrary. But you have to give it at least some credits that English forced everyone, I mean EVERYONE, to learn it.

Lol, I cannot even believe that there are still ppl in the 21st century that aren’t fluent in English, but anyways, learners should also know that the TH in English is not an F sound, and that it is a type of T sound (approximant of T) in words like think / thing / thin etc and it is a type of D (approximant of D) in words like this / the / that (dis / duh / dat) and they are called the thorn sound aka þ / Þ and the eth sound aka ð / Ð and they are also used in Icelandic and Norse, and the eth sound is also used in Spanish in words like nada etc, so they are just less obvious T and D sounds that are kind of lispt!

As an Brazilian, the only thing that they teach in school here is verb to be, which makes most of the population not able to speak english, i learned by interacting with native english speakers in game, watching videos of english speakers and my mother putting english things in tv so i could learn, and here we are also really diverse in accents and people whose ancestors were imigrants from another country (i have ancestors from Germany and Italy)
That seems to be a common theme. Japanese seem to be very hesitant to speak English even though they get multiple years of it because the instruction is very basic route memorization, with no pronunciation practice. In my state, in the US, we're required to take 3 years of a foreign language, and most take Spanish as a sort of "default" option. I can assure you though, most people in my state would not call themselves Spanish speakers.
A mesma coisa no meu país Arábia Saudita, eles apenas nos estudam o verbo to be ing ed.

As a person from the UK who moved to Texas, I have a semi-weird, hybrid accent. I have an Texan accent, (no, not like the stereotype) but I still pronounce some words how a Brit would. Lol. Some people like it, others just look at me like I'm weird when a say a certain word in a different way.
So you're Australian.
We talk just like any other American with the standard accent. I hardly ever hear anybody speak with a southern accent or “Texas” accent as you put it.
As someone born and raised in Texas, I can’t say I have a very strong, stereotypical Texan accent. I mean yeah sure, I can conjure up one pretty well. I’m sure I have something akin to a Southern twang. But to someone up North, I would probably be mostly indistinguishable. My own Southern twang only comes out with certain words, really. I will say, this dialect is incredibly infectious. “Y’all” is too useful of a word. When you eat Texas BBQ brisket, you’ll start talking like George W.

I came to english speaking youtube at a pretty low level and started remembering some words and phrases, not even thinking about tenses and grammar, altrough I knew some things. And now I am even brave enough to reply to youtube comment
@@gigogrom216 same story. For some reason, it was rather easy to grasp the English vocabulary and grammar by mainly consuming online media. Can't say the same about German though, this language requires a lot more effort for me to learn.

As a non-native speaker I think the easiest way to overcome English as a learner is consuming content whether it be from movies, TV shows, RUclips, games and other social media as well as interactions with people online that's how all my friends and I learned English. I have also noticed that the knowledge and understanding of the language as well as getting the jokes made in English and understanding the slang is very easy since you're accustomed to it.
Yeah same here. I hear a lot of talk about it not being taught in their schools, but really I am from NL and I learned fuck all in school when it comes to English. Was way ahead of the classes like almost everyone from just watching cartoons in English as a child and later on movies. You just naturally soak in the language wich kinda makes you wonder what the best way to learn a language really is. I suppose you need to just watch movies.
My early English learning experience outside of the minimal basics in school is playing Sim City 2000 with a dictionary next to the PC. (Which was the only way to look up words in video games back then. IIRC you couldn't just alt-tab out of the game and into the offline dictionary program you bought at a local store for 200 bucks.)
This video really came in handy! This week classes begin in Brazil and I'll be teaching english to kids who never studied the language before, so I was thinking of giving them a preview of what it will be for them. You just saved a ton of time, so thanks!
I think it’s really cool how you made this like a video for intermediate English learners and talk kind of slowly
thats just how he talks babez, i agree very accessible :)
@@ducciwucci I compared with other videos and there’s just something off about the way he talks in this one, but he talks in the middle of slow and fast in the first place(including that really slow country drawl)
Although us Brits won't scream and do backflips when you speak our language, we will when you pronounce any place name correctly. Especially with Birmingham, you really want to emphasize the 'h', making sure to pronounce every letter clearly, and how it's written

@watcher2424 how does that Г work in Russian? wouldn't be unnecessary for pronunciation?
We appreciate anyone who can say shire as sheer and don’t say war-cester for Worcester.
@watcher2424 Unfortunately I'm not that good at Russian, but thanks to google translate I think I understand the question. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I think you're asking how to pronounce it in English. I speak American English so I pronounce it "Ber-meen-ham".

@@jonathanmangum4347 Nah, I really like how English looks
I find it ironic that my value as a member in my society got higher because I was better than my peers at understanding and using the lingua franca. My understanding of English carried me through my school and academic life. The language opened up the floodgate that's called internet content so I became more knowledgeable in my areas of interest.
It's both weird and wonderful that how just being able to speak English carried me through my life but that alone obviously won't be enough for me to secure in the near future. So, that situation irked me and I started to desire learning more languages and gain real life skills.
But Simp is right. American is so sophisticated it took way too much place on my brain. I can't learn another language now
Lang Simp I challenge you to take the Clozemaster 10 languages 10 questions each challenge. Pick any 10 languages video yourself taking the challenge and inspire us. (whether you have studied are familiar with or not). This is a fun opportunity to showcase your talent with a little bit of humility proving you too are human and still a language learner. You can put the flags of the 10 languages you choose for the challenge in both the thumbnail and the title and tag the video as #takingtheclosemaster 10 languages challenge. While also tagging the languages of the challenge. When choosing from a diverse variety of languages consider this, to include some of those you're familiar with, those that you are not, and those that you will later learn. Choosing to include a conlang like Interlingua and an ancient language like Latin will keep the challenge diverse while bringing recognition to these languages (you may surprise yourself). Consider getting a hold of Clozemaster they may be interested in sponsoring the video. We as a community of language Learners need a challenge that we can all appreciate and try together. To get the most out of the video challenge adjust the settings as follows: put the skills to listening, the question count to 10, and the mode to multiple choice. Then you can adjust the account to dark mode (as it's more attractive) and the default speed to 75% for better hearing the questions. Doing a dry run will ensure all the settings are correct. Keep a notepad by your side to keep track of the language scores. Before you end the video it would be nice if you encouraged other polyglots and language Learners to take up the challenge.
Buenas suerte

I hated English when it was taught in school, my level was 0. Then I studied it for fun quite successfully. And yes, it takes up too much brain space, I started forgetting my native words😂
same except I probably still hate English, fuck modal verbs and fuck stress and fuck vowel length. interrogative are also done in the stupidest way possible, and 'can' has got to be the most aids-inducing verb ever, and I've yet to talk about the writing of it all.
And yet I think in English from time to time (but it's making me lose braincells for sure)
@@abarette_what is wrong with modal verbs or with 'can'? My native language is Italin and both modal verbs and the way you use can in english can be traced back 1 to 1 to italian counterparts. What's your native language, and how does it handle the couterpart of the english modal verbs?
@@abarette_Heck, vowel length makes no sense to me as a native speaker. Apparently people are taught 'long i' and 'short i' when length is almost irrelevant
thank god i thought i was the only one who sometimes forgets words from his native language
@@jan_Masewin Oh, I was wondering what they were talking about with the "vowel length" (Japanese?). But yeah, the tongue is in a different position. [i] and [ɪ] is their ы (troublesome vowel(s)). [θ] and [ð] is their р, or trilled [r] (troublesome consonant(s) (at least it is for me)).
As a native English speaker, there are so many native accents that other natives aren't aware of that I very often get told on holidays that "I speak very good English!", maybe because I'm Asian. So unfortunately, maybe SHOCKING THE LOCALS isn't out of the question...
Woah you write really good English! 🤸♂
It's not an accent if we talk about natives. It's rather dialects
@@Alessandro_Batistuda When talking about the intonations and manners of speech, it's usually referred to as an "accent", no? "Australian accent", "Irish accent", "New York accent", "British accent", etc...
@@dingus42 in English people used to call it that way, yes. And i don't understand why
@@Alessandro_Batistuda That's because that's just the correct term for it in English :)
If you want to maximize your default languages you need to spawn on the Dutch side near the Belgian language border from immigrant parents. That way you automatically unlock Dutch, French, English, whatever native language your parents speak and German if you just learn how to pronounce their letters, some basic words and phrases.
Basically Me and you too?
@@yasinjafari9695 I know a guy like that. But me not sadly.
12:36 When I first came to Britain, each time I pronounced “r” and “th” the correct way, all of the pedestrians closer than one mile away from me started doing quadruple backflips, praising me and giving me money, so yeah, Britz are most likely to appreciate you for learning their language

I'm writing this comment to express my lingering and fiery frustration that this didn't turn out to be about Arabic
Pfff, Arabic is a non-pretty language and one of the most overrated languages ever, I am so syhk of hearing about Arabic and Japanese and Chinese and Korean and all other non-pretty languages that aren’t fun to hear and see and learn etc, and I wish everyone støpped talking about non-pretty languages, and I wish all started talking about and recommending the pretty languages only with the best reviews, as pretty languages are the ones that should be learnt and spoken etc, and the prettiest languages ever Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / English / Norwegian / Gothic are the languages that deserve the most attention and they are the languages that should be learnt and spoken by all - however, this review is totally untrue and incorrect and unfair, and it shouldn’t have been made at all, as most other reviews, and, ppl shouldn’t even be ałw’d to review languages or to vote etc, since ppl in general cannot be objective and fair and don’t usually give the right ratings and votes, and they usually give the prettiest languages ever a negative review on purpose, while giving the most non-pretty languages positive reviews, for no logical reason, it literally makes no sense, so no one should choose languages based on yt reviews or recommendations etc, and, only I have the correct rankings and recommendations!
@@thetrueoneandonlyladyprinc8038
You're logic is basically: "the languages around where i was born are pretty anything else is non-pretty" that's just being subjective and biased
It’s the facts, and all I said is an objective fact, not subjective - also, Hungarian is not similar to Germanic languages as it’s an agglutinative language, and it’s a pretty language with mostly pretty words, so it’s total ns that it’s ‘just the languages around me’ lol!
And, English IS a Germanic language, not a Latin language, since it sounds and looks 100% Germanic, and English has the most logical spelling and pronunciation rules, which is why it sounds AND looks awesome and serious and professional, as the creator of English was a true linguist that knew that the pronunciation of each word must be decided based on what sounds best for each word, which is why rough is pronounced with an F sound, as it should, and, technically, all the pretty languages that are well-constructed have words that are spellt the same and pronounced differently, and also, words that are spellt differently and pronounced the same, and, they even have words with multiple meanings etc, which is what makes the languages more fun and more diverse, and, learners are supposed to actively learn each word with its pronunciation and spelling, just as natives did passively, which is the right way to learn pretty languages!
Germanic languages come from Latin, anyway, and where most words directly or indirectly come from doesn’t make the language what it is, it’s the word endings and the letter combinations and the sound patterns and the combination of sounds and the pronunciation rules etc that make a language what it is, and any true linguist would know these facts, so a language could have only words from Latin, but if its letter combinations and its word endings for verbs and nouns and adjectives etc and its sound patterns etc are Germanic, it is a Germanic language one hundred percent, as the words are modified into Germanic words, which means that words that come from Latin are no longer Latin, once the new word endings and letter combinations or the new pronunciation rules etc are applied, which turn them into Germanic words!
Also, there are over 3 billion speakers of English, if one includes the ones that speak it at a B1 or B2 level aka the intermediates, and, all ppl are the exact opposite of ‘royalty’ and are just an avrg citizen made to obey the avrg citizen’s laws and rules, as everyone else, and I am THE only Royalty aka the pure / superior being, and my pure protectors aka the alphas too, and I also am the only girl / feminine being, and réłationships are only meant for us pure beings (me & the pure protectors) and were never meant for ppl, and there must be a distance between all ppl at all times and no śÿnńing, and one should never learn languages to ‘get x or y’ etc, it’s literally the most efd non-reason to learn anything, and the right reasons to learn languages are for their pretty and poetic words, so all should only learn the pretty languages for their pretty words and for their pretty sounds etc, which is the wise thing to do and the key to being a successful polyglot, as one naturally learns the prettier and more distinctive words faster, which makes pretty languages the easiest languages ever!
There are only a few pretty languages, and they are on my list of languages I want to learn and improve - most of the pretty languages came in a more direct way from the first language ever created Proto European that a dude created from scratch a long time ago along with the first writing system ever, which inspired all other languages and writing systems that exist today, either directly or indirectly, and Proto European was a pretty well-constructed language with lots of pretty words, especially considering how ancient it is!
So most European languages had a real strong base, whereas most other languages were just inspired by the idea of creating an actual language and by certain words and elements from it or from other languages that were made from it, but most of their words were constructed at random with random syllables and random combinations of vowels and consonants that don’t go well 2gether, so most languages are just random sounds and random letters słæpt 2gether, which is why most of their words are non-pretty and funny-sounding or embarrassingly funny with very non-pretty word endings and letter combinations that aren’t a good letter combination!
And, very few are / were capable of creating perfect and gorgeous languages with great letter combinations and pretty word endings that are a real work of art, such as English and Norse and Icelandic and Norwegian and Gothic the other Norse languages and Dutch and the modern Celtic languages, which are absolute perfection in almost every way, as creating such pretty languages requires a lot of natural artistic talent and having a mind on the logical side and having a good eye / ear for prettiness and harmonies and good pattern recognition skills and good observational skills and good analytical skills, and my protectors & I have the best of these skills and the supreme artistic talents, but I still cannot create a language that’s prettier than Norse / Icelandic / English / Dutch / Gothic, as they were already created by someone else, and it’s not possible to create a language that’s prettier than them!

As a Brazilian boy who has been learning English since 2021, I can say that I didn't understand most of what he said at the 11:40 minute.
Btw something curious about Brazilian people is that most of them wish they could speak English "like a native English speaker", then I ask them "Okay, but native from where?". And it is funny because most people here can learn English by only using the internet, reading, watching and listening to every kind of content in English. Well, I've done an English course, but I've started learning English when I was a kid, with music and pokémon being my big teachers. Anyways, being able to speak both Portuguese(my first language) and English is just amazing. I hope to learn at least one more language!!
tbh im english and havent heard "squirrel it away" before.

Hello, I would like to share my experience. I am originally from Kazakhstan, which is located in Central Asia. I am 25 years old and I recently started learning English on my own. I am interested in it, I want to learn it to level B. Before that I had experience in studying the Russian language. It was much easier and faster for me, since there were native speakers nearby and accessible materials for practice. But even so I had problems because the languages are different. Kazakh belongs to the type of agglutinative languages, archaic, and not too susceptible to modernization. The Russian language is inflexive, and more susceptible to globalization, it has a lot of international words, which just makes learning English easier for me.There are similarities and differences between languages. In both Kazakh and Russian there were only three tenses. Past, present and future. Just great. The difference was noticeable in only two things. The first is the generic designation of men and women in the Russian language, its absence in Kazakh. Prepositions and articles in the Russian language, without which it is impossible to construct a sentence, and its absence in Kazakh. Over time, you get used to this difference and find this phenomenon interesting. How cool, we are so different, it’s even nice.But here I am learning English. And I notice a HUGE difference in the form of this time, there are too many of them. Time changes a certain word into an absolutely different one. Its phonetic sound, the graphic designation of "miscellaneous", so that it is one word, becomes several words. The English language doesn't even explain to me why this is so? Where are the rules of the language, where is the logic? She just dictates that I learn all the words at once!😂😂😂
They say 3000 words level B. I'm shocked. Seriously? I already know 3000-4000 English words, but I can only construct a basic dialogue, and I will not always understand what was answered. Official data says that the English language contains 170,000 words. And the average vocabulary of English speakers is 20,000-50,000 words. The conclusion is that polyglots are very smart people. As a teacher, I assure you that 3000 words are suitable for the level of children 4-5 years old. And children are very, very stupid. It turns out we are also stupid with our basic level of English.
The grammar of a language does not make it "archaic" or "modern" if it's simple, that is a harmful way to think about languages

Suggestion for the next language review: One of the Uralic languages of Europe (Finnish/Estonian/Hungarian), perhaps?
Finnish might be the most talked about from these 3 and make more aspiring polyglots respect you, but Hungarian might unlock more DLC as well as _shock more natives_ (and be more distinct from the other two). It could be nice to see you talk about any of these three, though. :)
yes please do hungarian
i want to learn hungarian.
Hungarian is the best but Finnish impressed me i had low expectations .
All agglutinative languages are Uralic and come from the same Proto agglutinative language, pfff, and Hungarian is not similar to Finnish or Estonian at all - Hungarian is closely related to Turkish, not to Finnish!

I highly recommend learning the prettiest languages ever created Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / Norwegian / Gothic, which are as gorgeous / refined / poetic as English and way too pretty not to know, and also Welsh / Breton / Cornish etc, which are also gorgeous, 2gether with Hungarian - Hungarian is a pretty language, and it’s prettier than Finnish and Estonian, as it looks more Germanic, plus its prettiest words are comparable to Germanic words!
His english is pretty good, seems like a native speaker.
Your English for an American is so advanced, the way you spoke it through out the entire video is just so impressive.
This is all the cultural validation I'll ever need.
English is one of the prettiest and best languages ever made like Norse / Icelandic / Dutch / Norwegian / Gothic etc, and all should be learning English and the other prettiest languages ever, which should be the universal languages - this review is ns and it isn’t based on truth and facts, as are most other reviews, so learners should never choose based on reviews and recommendations, since most aren’t fair or factual!
Besides, English is English, no such thing as American, and those are just accents, which are different, depending on the region, but the language itself is only one, and it is the Modern English language, which is the easiest and most practical language ever created in every way, and it is also one of the prettiest ever, so all should be learning English to a writer level or at least to a native speaker level!
There is also no such thing as ‘culture’ and ppl are just misusing that term, and, culture is all about nature if it exists, it doesn’t have anything to do with groups of ppl!

@@enmanuel1950 Yeah, but in the other hand no one is considered cool for knowing English 😔
You can get by in English without getting around to getting into the more obscure phrasal verbs so no need to get down on yourself if you don't always get them, but once you get through the early stages (hopefully without letting the stranger ones get to you) and get over initial points of confusion (like how it is that I can get away with get getting used so often in this comment) you'll get to get a load of the reactions that others will have to your new "get" at get togethers with native speakers who may have gotten used to you not using phrasal verbs. Maybe you'll even get along with them better because you'll have gotten more confident and outgoing! What I am getting at is getting ahead on phrasal verbs is something to get in on before time gets away from you that you will get a lot out of. You'll be glad you did once you have gotten past it.
P.S. there might be errors in there I missed, that got painful to proofread.
I don't get what you are getting at but I will eventually get there hopefully without getting into much trouble and when I get there, I will get here and we will get ourselves some beer but for now, I really need to get going.
I've been studying American for 1.5 years... Thank you for promoting English, I'm gonna try to learn it, too!
5:52 as a Canadian, this is 100% accurate
The beauty of English, since everybody learns it, is that it has the power to connect communities from all over the world. I'm from Brazil, fluent in English, and learning German as my third language. I've used Tandem a lot before getting the C1 level and I could learn a lot from a lot of different people coming from very unique cultural backgrounds. There were rooms where literally everybody was from a different country, but we could maintain a meaninful conversation and understand ourselves through English. And, at least in my opinion, since the main purpose for learning a new language is communication and cultural enrichment, English does a really well and unique job at it 🇧🇷🇺🇸🇩🇪
Yeah agreed, really the only point of a language is to facilitate communication, which English does better than any other language. This isn't really just because of the merits of the language itself as it is because of colonial history, although you could make the argument that the myriad of loanwords makes it somewhat more accessible to a wider audience, and that you can still be understood despite making lots of mistakes. Should be gigachad tier for becoming the de facto language of the world regardless
funny how this video somehow bring it up so many Brazilians lmao
Geralmente as pessoas falam que "Saber inglês é o suficiente para ir para qualquer lugar", entretanto não é o suficiente para "manter uma boa conversa". Geralmente é melhor saber a língua nativa do local do que inglês.
Inglês é mais interessante para assuntos acadêmicos, reuniões formais e criação de conteúdo, principalmente online.
Acontece que se eu vou para a Itália, preciso saber italiano caso queira ter boas relações com as pessoas.
Então: "Native language > Any supporting language"
As an Indian it is very important to Learn English in India to get a high paying job. Just because of English Language other native languages are side lined and it is sad to see people in India prioritize English not other languages to be learnt. 😶 Although I would say that English is universal language to connect with people and understand others.😵💫
3:21 Bro became Drew Durnil 💀

As a Pittsburgher I was thrilled to see you include “yinz” as a term for “all of yunz”. 😂
I’m trying to learn Russian is how I came across your YT. Спасибо for your videos. They are funny af.
When you learn english its like a whole new world just opened up
As a Brazilian, I still feel that exact way

As a native American speaker who learns languages as a hobby, i definitely did not spawn on easy mode as certain natives will switch to English when I speak, although it doesnt happen often.

2:33 I couldn't agree more. Actually I envy the English native speaker they took it so easy.
You should do a mega episode of the 3 Nordic Languages. Swedish, Danish, and Norwegian.
I actually learned English cause i just liked it and wanted to understand the internet 👉👈 so even if like. School forces you to learn a language you can find your fun in it.
OMG SAME
truly an English moment of all time
As a Filipino, English is always mother tongue for me when I was young and it's more like native speaker. And also for me, at October in 2023. I always use to amend dictionary words and take notes in paper, since for me in last many years when I can't ambiguous and avail the words to myself from story in lesson. At October 2023, I keeping starting through my acknowledge in words from dictionary. And I also keeping comprehensive the words through my adrift and arbiter mind. And start create essay and poem in creating through my own as a bliss, blithe, and benignant. So for 5 languages for me. I still keep learn through my advancing; instead, after class subject.

I think English is widely spoken becuase of the influence of certain attributes makes it little easier for alot of crowds. Since it has Celtic influence and Latin influence and even Germanic and I think Greek as well. This happened over time obviously and the British colonization initiated global influx of world wide speakers with knowledge about the English languages.

I absolutely love your videos, I can't watch a single one without bursting out laughing
This is by far the best video of the serie.
I really was expecting him to make a British accent the whole video kkkkkkkmk
I am one of the few native speakers from the void next to Australia. Thank you for showcasing our beautiful langauge
The hardest part for is to distinguish between Past Simple and Present Perfect. Sometimes it's really hard
I agree with every point made and the ranking. I just wish that English wasn't the "main" language and that there instead was a greater value on learning other languages
This is actually an awesome video
I'm learning English language because those medieval iterations sound badass. The modern one is OK.
Also, computer science.
I love the fact that you put Taylor on your thumbnail ,as a swiftie,I clicked as fast as I can😂As a non-native English speaker,Taylor is the reason why I fall in love with English again❤
You have my 100% support, I'm voting for you now.
As a non-native English speaker, English is the best language I could have ever asked for and I am infinitely glad that it became the world’s international language. The international communication is way too useful to give up for the sake of something as silly as “language diversity”. Not to mention, English is already beautiful. Certainly better than Fr*nch.
C'est bien que tu as mis un symbol français sur le thumbnail 🇫🇷🥖
Spoke the entire video in English!! 😁👏👏 Amazing accent. Live from The Holy See.
That was the video I've been waiting for. Great review from a native english speaker perspective. If it's weird for you, can you imagine how it is for us as english learners? English may be confusing so times. Honestly, the most of the time this language doesn't make any sense, but we are forced to learn otherwise we wouldn't be able to talk to anyone else out of our native country.
10:57 I wonder if the old word "Thou" has the same origins as "Tu" (romanian, portuguese, french). In romanian it's also the informal version, the formal version is a much longer word "dumneavoastră", often abbreviated as "dvs." or "d-voastră" in written form.
Yes, it goes back to proto-European and has cognates in the other descending language families also (like Balto-Slavic, etc.)
We want Turkish part of it! языковой симп ! في امان الله

I expect all natively English-speaking visitors to speak Norwegian. Just to let them experience briefly what it's like for the rest of us.
i actually love these reviews
Loved this video about Southern Cypriot!
As a non native English speaker, I think "Dogwater" is a little too harsh for a language that allows you to communicate with everyone, even with your goldfish. True, no one does backflips and no one gives a sh*it how you learnt it. and the pronunciation is just arbitrary. But you have to give it at least some credits that English forced everyone, I mean EVERYONE, to learn it.
I would have placed it on Giga Chad tier. Just for how useful it is.
Same for me too! I was like, "WHAT???" when he just put it in the dogwater tier!
the pronunciation is not the problem. They just never cared enough for their language to release a spelling update.
@@0815SnickersboyAmerica released an update some time ago, but the rrst of the world refused to download it so it only made the language more inconsistent
Latin and Greek in the past too, by the way science decided not to learn English yet, because everything in science has something Greek or Latin
English random spelling make it sound super hard when you are first learning the language, but when you pass that obstacle you see that its more on the easy side of languages, very simple grammar
Every language needs content like this
