I'm starting to feel sorry for Julia and Genesia. Did they arrest you in this studio? give us a sign ✊

[ELLOBOking-rohs]

The germany girl was like what i'm doing here

[renofumi]

You know what, Julia and Genesia both got the look and the brain as well. They're just so elegant in their own way.

[Leonardo]

Girls, you confused tonal languages ​​(Mandarin, Thai, etc.) with graphic accentuation denoting timbre and tonic syllables (French, Portuguese, Spanish, etc.)

[vanessaxavier]

The alphabet in welsh sounds like Voldemort when he speaking with snakes

[guardianrv]

love from here for julia and genesia ❤

I'd argue that Spanish is a lot easier than German based on phomenes. Whereas Spanish e.g. has only 5 vowel phomenes German has 17 and 3 diphthongs. English as a related Germanic language has also a similarity high number of vowel phomenes (which is characteristic for all Germanic languages) so they won't struggle as much as someone speaking an unrelated language, however for learning purposes I'd still think that less variation in phonemes makes learning a lot easier. Overall Spanish has 25 phonemes whereas German has 45

Spanish does not have tones. The accent marks in Spanish just tell you which syllable in a word is the stressed syllable in cases where the word isn’t following basic stress rules

[GESTEofficial]

Ranking languages by difficulty was so difficult 🫠

[alfrredd]

I can't believe the polyglots are yapping about how spanish and german have "tones", they have accent marks and syllable stress like almost every other european language but those are not tones like in chinese 😅

[miilaa_]

a video with Ana and Julia and Andrea please

[vastoaspecto]

13:10 Spanish does not have tones, it has accents, tones vary like musical notes, accents vary like emphasis on the syllable.

The same with Portugese, French and others.

[karllogan]

Welsh is a strange language, World Friends should do a whole series on the living Celtic languages (Welsh, Breton, Irish and Scottish Gaelic), or just on Welsh if it's too much trouble finding other Celtic speakers in Korea.

[Maat]

I love how good Júlia is at everything, of course everyone there is very good but Júlia for me is the strong point of the video, as a learner of a non-romanized language I I can say that Júlia is incredible at learning languages like this

[emotionalIntelligence]

Brazilian girl must have refrained a bit from influencing the rankings. It was more about her perspective.

[atumns]

this was already after miguel left the chat

[In_The_Pond]

I love the Brazillian Girl! She so cute

[oscar]

I found that girl from Germany so inelegant. It seemed like she wasn't interested in participating in the program. 😮😮😮

[ScottYun]

Native US English speaker here with decreasing proficiency in Spanish, Korean and German; and extensive travel throughout South and Southeast Asia.

English letters are all pretty much equal and easy to adapt to. Most Asian languages alphabet are hard. Have you seen Thai, Khmer, Balinese, Sinhala?

Pronunciation and hearing are ridiculously difficult for me when you toss in tones and when they intentionally make it hard like some Irish names and the French "beau" vs "beaux". Can you hear the difference?

And one thing that wasn't addressed for those trying to learn another language - tempo. Some people speak so fast that they'll naturally swallow ending. So listeners are stuck trying to figure out what they just heard. Help us out and slow down and enunciation.

[Cazzerk]

Living in England we're not exactly incentivised to learn another language, but after watching Julia I can't stop with these videos, she's beautiful, intelligent and makes everything fun.
