Here in the Philippines, the new generation of kids is rapidly becoming fluent in English, much like native speakers. This remarkable development is largely due to their exposure to YouTube videos.

Filipinos prefer English subtitles over Filipino subtitles 😂😂😂

I’m a Filipino but honestly, India is fluent compared to the Philippines in terms of vocabulary. It’s only bcoz of the accent I think but if you hear closely, Philippines can mimick different accents yes but I noticed we use the same words over and over again. I worked in the IT industry and most of my colleagues are Indians, and they have tons of vocabulary which I find it fascinating. They are great story tellers, especially when proving a point.

The girl from India is so real for saying what she said. Like girl, you guys tried to learn 3 languagues from childhood? You guys are natural polyglots! On top of that, most of you excel in STEM too. Well not just India, but most Asian countries on this list do. I’d personally be more proud of that. 😅 you don’t need white people’s validation on your english proficiency. Fvck what they think. This video is soooo out of touch, really. It physically pains me to see how a lot of them had the urge to explain themselves on why they speak English the way they do. 😵‍💫 (This is not directed to anyone in the video. Not even the American here since she tried her best to address everything with political correctedness, but you can really see how she’s tiptoe-ing her explanations. Everyone’s nice, by the way. I’m directing this comment to the producers or whoever conceptualized this video.)

Also, before anyone comes at me, I’m Filipino-American.

In the Philippines our alphabet are base on English and Spanish too. Thats why the accent of Spanish and English are already there while learning from grade school to college.

[Kuyabakas]

This is so weird. Why do you need to rank them? English is not their first language and the fact that they can speak it is more than enough to impress the English native speakers.

[tarass]

Do they specifically find the most clueless people from every country?

It was 31 years ago (1992) when I immigrated to Canada from the Philippines. On my 3rd day in my new home I got the chance to get an interview with an international company which lasted for 3 hours!
The most unforgettable part was when the Manager asked me towards the end of the interview, “Where did you learn to speak English so well?” To be honest I was quite flattered, but at the same time confused because it’s something very normal to me since I was a little girl. And also, so many people in the Philippines speak the way I do. I mean, I don’t think I am that special! Happy to note that I got the job, and I started the next day!

I'm Filipino and have never visited native English-speaking countries. I learned English in school and became proficient in written communication, but not in speaking. I improved my speaking skills when I had the chance to enroll in an English proficiency training session with call center basics. Filipino accents vary depending on the region, educational background, job, family English upbringing, and more. Some of us can easily mimic accents as needed, like call center agents who may sound almost American or British, depending on their accounts. Overall, I'd say we tend to have a neutral accent that is easy to understand by both British and Americans.

"You call the call center and it's someone from Índia" this one got me 😂😂, this US lady is such a gentle, funny and smart girl, the interation with the asian girls is good as well

[Meakamea]

I'm a Filipino and moved here in MI. Alot of people I talked always compliment my English. Not my accent but the way I construct each words to express myself. And on public videos or comments, they would say I'm a passive speaker or I speak like a college degree person. But I'm just a high-school grad and had line of 70 during high-school. What made me learned good English? From reading, good listening and ambitious. My father would load me books and always told me "Learn English learn English." And " Knowledge is power" rip father...

Kids today has Peppa Pig, we before had Mr Bean..😂

In this video, four of them(Malaysia, Singapore, India and Hong Kong) are former British colonies while the Philippines is the only country colonized by Uncle Sam who teaching English to Filipinos through Thomasites

Trivia:Before the Americans, in 1762 when the British invaded Manila, they tried to introduced English to Filipinos but little success because mostly are speaking Spanish and Tagalog and it was not a subject in Spanish education at the time

Jose Rizal was speaking English when he stayed in Singapore, Hong Kong, United States and Great Britain

In the Philippines a lot of people are underprivileged to have a good education or have no education at all but can still speak and understand basic english. Even those who leave in the rural areas can communicate themselves to foreigners. Singaporeans are well taught in english because they have good education system. But the English ranking in this video is not based on profiency only but also on pronunciation and accent as well. And if people from other countries can understand your english well. A lot of foreigners are getting their English education in the Philippines because english accent in the Philippines is very comprehensible.

[amitavoroy]

This video really brings out a lot of good points about the spoken part of the English language and I'm sure there's another side to it when you consider the comprehension and the written sides. I do agree with the person representing India about accents being more regional. Accents between the south and the north is as distinct as between eastern part and western part of India.
Overall a thoroughly thought-provoking video!

The American girl is very polite and doesn't want to offend any nationality.

[cherriepie]

This channel is called 'World Friends', yet nearly all your videos feature at least one American sitting separately to the right of everyone else. Why not rename this channel to 'World Friends of America'?

[charliegallardo]

The Filipino is the most Filipino one that they got she really have a proper Filipino English accent.

[amitk]

As an Indian I can tell you there are tons of varieties of Indian English speakers. You will find people who can understand well and still struggle to form a proper sentence in English to people who can speak English better than Americans and Britishers can. We have 100s of languages and everyone is competing on why their mother tongue/culture is better. However, most spoken language in India is Hindi and that too has many dialects and varieties. But even Hindi is resisted in many parts of India. So we Indians are forced to be multi lingual and whether we like it or not English is our official language and technically unites us. It's an irony that a country with 100s of languages is united by non local language. I think after Hindi the most popular language across India is English and used by most government offices and organizations across India.

NEXT VIDEO IDEA:
put thick british accent, irish, and australian there, compare them to these girls and let's see who has better pronunciation.
