[Saucion]

Got 14/15, and I’m not a native speaker. Never heard « eschew » before, as well as « blithe » but then I remembered « Hammond you BLITHEring idiot! »

[wowyok]

as a native speaker i got 12/15, you don't need to know these words to be fluent

[KarunanithiNramachandran-qwxi]

15 / 15 .
I 'd be an idiot to claim that my English is better than 97% of people worldwide .

[sqrtls]

I got 9/15, as a middle schooler and English not being my first language, I’m kind of proud

[naomiparsons]

As a native english speaker I can confirm that I have never heard the word eschew in my life. Wasn't 100% sure on the meaning of blithe either, despite having heard the word a lot, but guessed both correctly.

Edit: I have never been a top comment, thanks everyone :)

[Salmet]

I'm 13 and from Turkmenistan, was learning English since I was 9. And I got 8/15, but actually I'm kinda proud.

[isheanmmo]

I watched the video twice and got all 15 words right the 2nd time therefore my English vocab is now better than 97% of people world wide.

[temxasremd]

I'm a native speaker, but never in my life have I heard "Blithe" "Succinct" or "Eschew" I learned something new, thank you!

[momuv]

Ha! Got all 15! At 68 and an avid reader/vocab/grammar fiend, I love words, sentence structure and am constantly expanding my vocabulary. I never spoke baby talk to my children, exposing them to words far above their age from the get-go. It makes me proud to hear them as adults using obscure words and phraseology. It keeps brains sharp and interactions interesting. 😊

[franciannecollson]

Native speaker here, but I really enjoy quizzes. And at 77 years old, I think they help me stay sharp. I enjoyed this video.

[LocalizedBozo]

Wait, guys, the amount you guessed correctly does not matter.

He explained the definitions of the words for each question.

You know all 15 regardless of your score.

Welcome to the top 3%.

15/15 thanks to a high school English teacher who drilled us on a thousand vocabulary words over two semesters. Remember that we should always eschew obfuscation and espouse elucidation!

[_Executor_]

Well, if you got "eschew", and "blithe" wrong that's ok. You might never hear these two again in your life 😅

[demonschnauzer]

I got 15/15! I’m a native speaker and some of these words I think would probably have other native speakers stopping me and asking me what they mean lol. I only knew “blithe” because it was in an old song we sang in my high school choir 🎶

Good luck to everyone learning English!

[XJaEchtMan]

I am a German 12th grader and got 10/15, some words are actually easier to know for me, because for example, we have the word „Konsequenz“, which basically means the same thing as „consequence“.

[joaovitorjoaovitor]

Had absolutely no clue about the meaning of "blithe". Thank you Brian!

[toqa]

7:14 never heard of it, this is beautiful, it seems like my English skills still need to further improve and this makes me giddy with excitement haha

[curious-mindset]

As an Indian Australian I got 14/15. I wasn’t expecting such great results

[gigachad]

I got 15/15, I'm not a native speaker and just passed my 12th grade of school, I'm quite happy considering most people in my country judge others based on their english speaking skills and how many jobs allow entry only if the person knows english, it was a great comfort at a critical time, thank you.

[lorivitro]

I knew all 15 words. I have loved to read all my life and know that’s why I have an extensive vocabulary. Loved this!
