Is this Portuguese?
Hey, guys.
Welcome to another Glossika challenge.
My name is Jona.
I'm Canadian,
and I'm living in Taiwan
studying Chinese.
Today, I'm here
with a number
of my foreign friends,
and we're going to see
if they know
what different languages sound like.
Now, I have a bunch of audio clips
of different languages,
and we're going to see if they can
guess which languages which
You guys ready to start?
Yeah. All right.
Let's see how it goes.
First one,
All right, any guesses?
That kind of sounds like German.
I don't have no idea,
but, it sounds like like
somewhere around Europe.
It's definitely German.
I just heard cupcakes.
Like, that's the only thing I heard.
Well,
let's play it one more time.
I'm still sure
because I heard mine.
Well, mine is also an English word, so.
I guess it means I like cupcakes.
Well, you guys were right.
It is German, not English.
And it means my brothers stole and ate
all of my cupcakes.
A lot faster.
I heard the word
I would say Spanish.
Okay, okay.
Yeah, I think it's Spanish.
I would say Spanish, too,
because it's quite similar to Italian.
Spanish.
I think this one is quite obvious.
Well, congratulations.
You are all correct.
It is. It is indeed Spanish.
And the meaning of this sentence is
a bird pooping on you means good luck.
Well.
Okay, this is hard.
I think it's like Balkan language.
But, I know which one
like Serbian or something like.
I think it's a Slavic language.
But, until the point
where it got to the end and I'm like,
is this still a Slavic language?
I don't know is it Portuguese?
Everything sounds Portuguese or Spanish for me.
Honestly speaking, I have no idea.
Why do you guys think it's Balkan or,
you know, an Eastern European?
Because for me, it's
quite similar to Russian.
And so, I have some vibes of this.
Because I speak Polish.
It's like kind of similar.
Well, let's give it another
listen and see what we think.
The end makes me think of Islamic language
I'd like to know what language is
Now, I'll tell you, this is Greek.
And the meaning of that sentence is
I slipped and fell in front of my crush,
not exactly homemade.
But, still a marvelous story.
I would say.
Some Arabic.
Arabic language.
I think it's the Netherlands.
I have no idea.
I might need to listen to it twice.
Okay, well, I'll give it another play.
Yeah, it's definitely not European.
I don't know what it is.
I don't know.
For me,
it also sounds like German.
Same answer as earlier.
Arabic.
We got one right answer.
It is Dutch.
I ate a rotten cake and got a
stomachache.
It rhymes in English.
I think it's a Russian.
Is this Portuguese?
Well,
I heard
in the beginning, so, like
it's Portuguese.
I think I need another
another try.
I think it's Slavic,
but, I don't know what language,
too many Slavic countries.
All right,
I'll give you guys another listen.
Is it Polish?
It is Polish.
Okay, perfect guess.
Can you play again and let me guess what it means.
Sure.
I think it means something
like my favorite boots.
That is a pretty good guess.
Congratulations, it is Polish.
And the meaning of this sentence is
my dog chewed my favorite shoes.
So, favorite you got and boots and shoes.
Pretty close.
What do you think?
I would say Chinese Mandarin, maybe?
Okay, okay.
I would say Chinese Mandarin.
Okay.
Definitely Mandarin.
Oh, I think this is English.
Perfect, okay.
This is English.
Well, bad news for June.
This is not English.
I'm afraid it's the other language,
you know?
Well, which is Mandarin Chinese.
And the meaning is
I moved to Australia
to find a koala.
So cute.
All right, let's try another language.
Sounds Thai.
Sounds Thai or Vietnamese.
And I would say Thai
but,
maybe like.
60% Vietnamese and 40% Thai.
Why don't we have each choose
one of the two tickets that.
I would say Thai.
Vietnamese.
I'm sticking to Thai.
Thai?
Well, it is, in fact, Thai.
Good job, good job.
And the meaning of this sentence
is I take a bath with the monkeys.
And an interesting one.
I think it's
more like Swedish or something like that?
Russian.
I'm agree with you,
probably, like Swedish.
Okay, here we have another list
and see what we think.
Well, that's a word in English, too,
I suppose.
English again?
Well, it is not Arabic.
It is also not a Russian, I'm afraid.
And it is, in fact, Swedish.
Okay.
And you did pick up on IKEA.
And people say ikea's
furniture is cheap,
but, I still can't afford it.
You know,
as language students in another country
I think we can all
connect to that sentence.
Yeah.
How many languages is it you guys?
