Anyone else waving their hands at the video like, "YOU'RE RIGHT THERE, NO LEFT, THERE, NO BACK, THERE!"?
Warmer... warmerrrrrr... WARMER! D'oh! No, go back, go back!! :D
Yep my son came out of his room to see why I was talking so loud at the TV. LOL
My husband wanted to know what I was trying to tell him, mummering states names and tapping my screen.
yes, i was doing this to.
Definitely doing that lol
This was honestly impressive for a non American
❤
This would be impressive for an American too
@@BaconNogg if you say so
@@BaconNoggnot really, unless you skipped like all of elementary school and never traveled or watched the news
@@andyv2209the fact he got Oregon correct, including the pronunciation, is a miracle considering how many people I've met in the u.s. that called me a liar when I told them Oregon existed lol
I think you did better than half the people in the USA.
Good job.
That's quite good. Those tiny states are difficult in that sort of thing because they're so hard to even notice on a map.
2 memory tricks. Louisiana is shaped like an L. With Vermont and New Hampshire, which are often confused, Vermont is the one kind of shaped like a V.
Also, Wyoming and Colorado are both the rectangular states, but you can remember that Wyoming is the one that is more West because they both start with W.
kentucky is shaped like fried chicken. minnisota is shaped like a crushed soda can. rhode island is too small on any map so they always say "RI".
Don’t forget my home state Michigan which is a mitten, both start with an M😎
New Hampshire is on the Atlantic Coast and Vermont boarders Lake Champlain. Always remember New Hampshire is Costal and Vermont is not.
Montana looks like it's whispering in Idaho's ear
Very impressive, Andre. Many Americans would not have done as well as you did.
Rhode Island is really unfair because it's so small and in such a densely packed area. I was looking right at it on your screen going "I know it's there, but where the fuck is it to click on?"
53 yr old American, you did as good as I would.
Great work! To be honest a lot of Americans have trouble remembering all the big rectangles in the middle (the nickname is “flyover country” for coastal elites 😂).
I would bet >50% of Americans would be unable to locate Kansas, Nebraska, Iowa, Arkansas, and Missouri. And probably 50% would swap Tennessee and Kentucky lol
You did great and were nearly always in the right region of the country. And I thanked you swapped Massachusetts with Minnesota in your mind because they are both long and start with M 😂
At this point, I'm not sure 50% of Americans could find their home state on the map.
Yeah....he did better than most USAMERICANS would so on foreign maps.
I don't think schools teach geography like they used to. By the time we were in 4th grade we could fill blank USAMERICAN maps with capitals, and major city in each state. We could also do Canadian provinces, and South America.
@@calme-dx2dpIt's funny, I had to do all 50 states and capitals in school, but by the time I finished college I had forgotten like a third of them. I have to go back and relearn it every few years, and I still make a few errors sometimes.
I can pick out Kentucky because it's the one that's shaped vaguely like a chicken drumstick.
@@lartrak me too (forgotten that is?).
I knew this in the 5th grade, along with each state capitol and all the Presidents/Vice Presidents. Mrs. Ahlen would be so disappointed in me now.
I remember in 5th grade we had a test to show we remembered all the states and capitals. I don't know what went wrong, but all but 2 students didn't do well or straight up failed the test. The 2 that aced it were myself and a boy in our class; everyone else got C's, D's, or F's. The teacher was so mad demanding to know why everyone else didn't study and prepare for the test. Or if they were even paying attention when he was going over everything multiple times. As punishment, everyone had to retake the test and lost recess time. Except me and the boy who got A's. Funny enough, I ended forgetting Alaska and Hawaii completely so I didn't fill them in but I knew what their capitals were. So I got a 95 and the boy got a perfect 100. My teacher asked me if I knew the capitals of the two states I missed and I told him so he let me off the hook. As a reward for being the only two to do well on the test, we were excused from the retake. And we got extra recess time for the entire week.
I think some parents complained about how their kids were denied recess but the teacher simply said 'that is their fault for not studying'.
Oh my friend, how could you miss OKLAHOMA? it’s right above your beloved state of Texas! Just giving you a hard time, lol. Oklahoma is the one with several different native American tribes, Sooners, and tornadoes 🌪️, which I keep trying to get you to watch more of. Have a good day!
Nice to hear you praise Colorado often, I'm from there. You did very well on this quiz, better than a whole lot of americans would do!
I was jumping up and down cheering you on Andre! Yelling "You can do it!" My grandchildren thought I lost my mind somewhere 😂
❤ and blessings to you and your family from the Great Lone Star State of Texas 🇺🇸
This was so fun, Andre! I was clenching my teeth and yelling at you through the screen,"go left! No, no,...the midwest!" You really did remarkably well! I always get mixed up in the west with all those square states. You seemed to handle those with no problem! Thanks for the fun...now I'm going to try it myself! ❤
I was just watching another one of your videos and thinking "I wish André would play one of those games where he has to put the names of the states on a map" so excellent timing! Also, you did a great job! There are a lot of Americans who wouldn't do nearly as well as you. Next time you have to guess the capitals!
I know them all, I had a Rand McNalley world map(3x5ft) on my wall as a kid, also 2 world globes and a map of the United States on the other wall. I also had my electric trains in my bedroom.
Was trying to help. LOL. You did really well for never being in America. Lots of Americans cannot do that well.
Dude. Not bad at all! I guarantee there are Americans who couldn't do any better than you did, especially on the tiny New England states and the wild world of rectangles in the west. Good job!!
Andre, voce fez um bom trabalho!! No meu estado, Rhode Island nos temos muitos Portugues aqui. Keep up the great videos! Grande abraço amigo. Forca Portugal! 🇺🇸 🇵🇹
All of those “most beautiful places to visit in the US” type videos are sure paying off!
Hey. I think, overall, you did really well! Not surprised you didn't get my state (Wisconsin) correct. Lol.
At first i was like, No Schantz!
But by the end i was like, nice job.
Am a teacher, and use this site monthly to quiz my 12 year old students. The Continents, The 50 states, Ancient River Valley Civilizations, and Major World Cities.
You did AMAZING! When I was a teen we had these games and a TV gameshow called Carmen Sandiego. We learned the states, and countries around the world. At that time I was really good at countries. Of course in the time since then a lot of countries aren't countries anymore. These days whenever I can't find a country on the map, I just feel like Carmen Sandiego would be so disappointed in me.
I remember doing this as a child. My teacher taught us the man in the middle of the country. So Louisiana looks like a shoe, Arkansas the pants, Missouri the shirt, Iowa the face and Minnesota the hat. Maybe that will help you in the future. Well done
I had a friend who was originally from Estonia and thought Colorado was next to Maine because they were both snowy and cold so this was pretty damn good for someone not from America.
A lot of Estonians came to like NY, Jersey, Baltimore, Chicago.. bc of the established Estonian community and having an Estonian house (culture/language school). My grandparents originally went to NJ, then came down here to Maryland. The Bmore Estonian house shut down years ago unfortunately, but I went there when I was a kid.
Mainer here! You did great! I know Americans who have never heard of Maine, or they think its part of Canada.
You did quite well. Something that kept misleading you is thinking "Midwest" means the middle of the country -- The Midwest is mostly around the Great Lakes area.
The test shouldnt tell you what a state is when you click on the incorrect state before it comes up on the quiz
you did great!
Fun Fact: Massachusetts has a fairly large Portugese-American population, a fact often reflected in local cuisine.
Hawaii has some Portugese influence as well. Malasadas, for example, are available in many places.
Sacramento, California once had a very large Portuguese community as well, and still has a major community along the Sacramento River - known as the Portuguese Pocket since the 1850s.
The California coast too. (fishing and crabbing originally)
You did about the same as an average American who knows barely nothing about which state is which! 🤣🤣🤣 However, as someone from Portugal, you did quite good.
You should see if you can find a video that talks about how each state’s boundaries came to be. It’s fascinating.
I kept saying "noooo! It's one over," but I would fail miserably if I had to do a test like that with any country other than US or canada.
I am going to say you did very well! Many Americans would not guess many of the square states in the middle!
You can use the acronym MIMAL THE ELF for 5 states cause combined they look like an elf
Minasota the hat
Iowa the head
Missouri the body
Arkansas the legs
Louisiana the boots
I know kids in high school and some adults who wouldn't be able to find even their own state. You did well.
I am so proud of you! You did very well for your first time.....I am impressed 🧐☺
That was funny when you said Louisiana was probably Alabama 😂
ETA: OMG, saying Tennessee is Midwest killed me.
Mississippi looks to me like Bart Simpson's head looking west 😀
Hahaha😁😆😁😆😁 Oh wait... I see it!! Bahahaha
That was actually pretty good. I'm from Michigan and it took me a while to get them all correct. I can remember Louisiana because it looks like a big L. Vermont looks somewhat V shaped and New Hampshire is right next to it. Nevada has somewhat the shape of a V at the bottom. I try to associate different things with different states. They also have another way to do the quiz which is much more difficult where each state is separate from the others and the sizes are adjusted to be more equal too. I have tried the European quiz and have halfway good luck at it, but need to work on it. You did much better than most would do.
You can learn the exact locations of all 50 states very easily if you just devote 15 or 20 minutes to looking at a map and memorizing them.
Not because I’m from Michigan but I don’t know how it’s not one of the most recognizable! Both considered the Mitten State and the Great Lakes State surrounded by the huge lakes it’s pretty hard to miss !
You did really well! Watching from Massachusetts. Pronounced “Mass- uh- choo- setts”
Done a lot better than another person i seen do this and he was born in the US so kinda sad you done really well getting most of majority of them right and being in the right region as well
You did pretty good! Even when you didn’t get it right, you’re almost always in the correct region. Probably did better than most people here. And I have to say, if I did one of those of Europe, I’m ashamed to say, I probably wouldn’t do very good!
You did great. A lot better than me on the New England states. I like this content.
As a Hoosier , with him starting with Indiana and going west then south😂 yelling we touch Lake Michigan but just upper left corner ❤then Ohio “ move to the right of Indiana . No,no, up more!!” Like he can hear me 😊
Good job. You did at least well as the kids in my son's high school geography class. 🤣
I thought you'd get Tennessee. It's basically the same size and shape of Portugal just rotated 90 degrees.
That was impressive for someone who has never been here! A few lucky guesses, but you were mostly in the correct region, except the Midwest, which is not in the west. Midwest = Great Lakes region.
Wow...that was really good for someone who doesn't live here. You probably did better than most people who have gone through our public school system!! I will try to find some videos of this guy who asks people on the street in California basic questions that they should be able to answer... it is shocking to see, but it is a reflection of how bad our school system is in some states! Would you be interested in reacting to videos like that? What is the best way to send you some videos to react to? Well have a great day! 😊
You said "I have no idea what this state is."
As someone who lives in that state, I can tell you that most Americans on the Eastern half of the U.S. also don't know what it is.
I did the same quiz, 100% in 1:22, guess I know my own country although that isn't something to brag about
"you're part of a dying breed, Hapsberg. Like people who can name all 50 states."
--the main character in the Naked Gun movies, talking to one of the main bad guys
Hey, you did pretty good. I'm impressed.
I'd love for you to try a matching the state capital to the state quiz.
42 years, american all my life, lived mostly southern states. my score was 44% at 8min.
Great Job! Very impressive!!!
You did fantastic!!! Bravo! You know US geography better than quite a few US citizens!👏👏👏👏👏❤
You did pretty good!
When you clicked Illinois for Wisconsin all the cheeseheads were enraged
super cool :D you inspired me to do a European sort of verse where you have to write in the names, I got 43/47 I think if I knew how to spell better I could have gotten them all! I don't remember how much time i was given I think it was around 7minutes.
very impressive!
Dude you disappoint me, but got it on your last try, Ohio, my state. I know you're under pressure, but still I had a buffalo jaw nearby if you totally miss my state. BTW, I am kidding about being upset, in fact I really enjoyed the video. :P
Helpful hints: Usually if it is English sounding east coast (original 13); Native American sounding , midwest to the south a bit. Sounds Spanish? The Rockies and west. There are outliers here and there, but for the most part the regions are specific to language itself due to US's birth to, not sure mature is the word, but became 50.
Don't feel bad, you got more right than a lot of Americans I know.
Great job!
Very well done! Better than many Americans can do this once they leave fifth grade and never do it again.
You did great. I'm from here and only got 77%...oops. It's been a LONG time since HS geography, and the ones I missed aren't in the news very often. lol. I'd probably get a higher score on a European map since we do hear about countries in Europe quite often and I have a strong interest in WWI/WWII history.
You did better than most high school students here in the Us
wow, that’s difficult!
no so ez
I guess it depends on where you're from and if you are into it. I have a map of the U.S. right above my TV and often refer to it. I still missed about 10 .
There is a European countries one that I can ace. But if you asked me to identify individual counties inside those countries, I would be totally lost.
I got 81%! All these geography videos paid off!
You clicked new york for rhode island that made me want to cry
Just so you know, most Americans couldn't find out 50% of the states, become I'm going to be honest. All the states in the middle have the exact same shape!!!!
You did great! Better than most Americans.
you did really well to be honest. i don’t know many americans that could do better than that
Don't worry, Andre. You did better than most US college students would have...
if you ever come to Wisconsin or Illinois, let me know.. relatively cheaper than other parts of the country, and Lost In The Pond is in Chicago, Illinois so you could visit him, lmao
I was screaming at the screen!
Mannnn they always do north carolina before south carolina! Majority seems like most people dont get south carolina if its first lol
I hope you and your family can come to US someday! We would be honored to have you❤️
Ha! I think the percentage of Americans that can identify the states locations could be counted on one hand! Good luck!
You did very well.
When I was 5 I knew all the states and state capitals. Someday you too will be ready for first grade ;-)
I guarantee you did better than a significant percentage of American school students
You did better than most Americans!
I've lived in the US my entire life & I only got 52% correct haha 😆
I can't sit in judgement. I have no idea where Portugese provinces are located. I have a vauge idea where where Lisbon and Oporto are. I know a little modern Portugese history and bits and pieces of pre-Salazar times.
I think you picked Missouri 4-5 times ! LOL The really hard ones don't give you the names and make you spell the states !
Amei sua pronúncia do meu estado mano; bem giro! Sou de Massachusetts mas falo PT também, seus vídeos são fixe
I still can't say Hello in Korean
Hello from Maine. If you ever make it here be sure to get a lobster roll.
You actually did a great job. Most Americans would struggle with that. Kudos!
what your proof
🤭Remember Lake Michigan touches the top of our beautiful state of Indiana. Just a little more work on this map and you'll have it. Your pretty good at this
03:15 First try? Most Americans can't do that, if they believe in Wyoming at all.
I had to do this map during this school year😂
Not too bad for a non-American. Although after how many times you clicked on Iowa incorrectly you should have gotten that one. 😀
Pretty good!🎉🎉🎉
I remember Oklahoma is the pot looking state
Lmao the first state was my state. (Indiana)
Where can we find this and similar quizzes?
