Can European and American Identify These European Languages?

Who's Better at Identifying These European Languages? American or European

[vladkast]

How fast were you able to guess the languages?

I can see how she could confuse Spanish and Italian, if she's not super familiar with either of them, just because they both have Latin roots, so they can sound similar to people who don't really know them. I would love to see more stuff like this, if you can find more to do!

Also, I'm super glad to see you posting more stuff again! Hope all is well, or getting better, with you and yours.

If it's alright to ask, I was wondering if there was a reason why you got rid of the old outro?

Americans are more familiar with Latin American Spanish though (as opposed to from Spain)

French and Spanish were super easy whereas I only knew it was Polish by the word Bardzo (or however you spell it). As for German I speak German as my second language, so, very easy to guess.

Ukraine in spanish is "Ucrania" (putting the accrent in "cra". But in Galicia (a part of Spain) we do say, in galician, Ucraina with the accent in the i

As a European the languages I'm confident about are German (my own :p ), English, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and Swedish. With some effort also Irish (Gaelic). Norwegian and Finnish are very difficult for me to identify. As soon as it gets to the East European languages I sadly do super poorly and unless certain words drop (there are a couple of words that give Russian and Polish away for me) I mostly won't be able to tell and I think it's a shame. I wish we got some more exposure in Western Europe to the Eastern European languages to be a bit more familiar with them.

I don't know if I could've said Polish over maybe Czech a couple years ago, but yeah, they picked not terribly deep-cut languages. It would be really tough for me to differentiate between the Scandiwegian languages (including Danish). My only two spoken languages are German and English and it bugs me when people are like "German is so guttural" when it barely is. So many of those ch sounds are more like a cat hissing than anything. Guttural is Dutch! And Dutch is still cute*!
Your pronunciation of "Mein Name ist" is *sehr gut* . 💯 I am a professional language trainer and that is my professional opinion.

Some languages I could not necessarily guess:
Estonian
Finnish
Scandiwegian languages
Actual Irish
Welsh
I could guess Ukrainian at this point, but if they came in with the lesser-known European languages from southern Europe I would be hard-pressed to guess. :-o

Spanish
Polish
German
French

Except for Polish. I think these are too easy but as a native Polish speaker. This was even easier.

French and Spanish were easy.
For some reason I couldn't pinpoint German at first, until the last sentence. I've had the same problem before, when I went from listening to the typical "harsh" dialect we usually hear outside of Germany, to the much softer tone of a girl like this one.
I guessed on Polish, just because it should be the most well-known language with similar sounds. I'm a bit curious about possible relations to German and Russian though, as it makes sense that they should have some in common with their neighbors (especially as they've been occupied by both in fairly recent history).

[Rippypoo]

Hey, Vlad. I was able to guess Polish. I think because of the sounds you were talking about.
