I laughed at the basic phrase at 3:01: "The tax inspector was not welcome", and I loved the really deep jargon at "speech thing". This video was a delight, as usual!

Wow! This hard drive can hold more text documents than all of an entire office building's file cabinets put together! We surely live in the future...

[@Dukemz]

Hey, you're still uploading, that's awesome! I remember I used to watch your videos a few years ago. Definitely remembering to turn all notifications on this time, these are always fun to watch. Gotta give you some extra credit for keeping a consistent and still amusing video style for so many years too!

[@kantraa]

Duolingo has also the nice feature of being able to kill its user if he or she is not learning Spanish!

[@thiscat9712]

i got a duolingo ad before this video

[@dgeoffri]

Absolutely amazing. I feel almost certain that you are 100% aware that the Game Blaster is only capable of FM synthesis, having only 2 Philips(!) SAA1099 chips, and thus entirely unsuitable for producing any speech-like sounds, but since I seem to be the first commenter on the fact, hopefully I've won a huge prize.

[@SquirrelMonkeyCom]

It depends on your definition of speech synthesis. You don't need a soundcard to generate speech. You don't even need an LPT1 port D/A converter. There is a very small text-to-speech program for MS-DOS from the early '80s that uses the internal PC speaker/bleeper to talk. I think it was called TRAN.EXE or something. Of course it sounds more like a robot than a human. In this game, I imagined pre-recorder VOC files with words and parts of sentences. Those played very well through a Covox speech Thing.

[@SquirrelMonkeyCom]

With this Qbasic program you can play a mono 8 bit wav throught the pc speaker, without a soundcard: OUT &h43, &H90:R=INP(&H61) OR 3: OUT &H61,E: OPEN "WAVFILE.WAV" FOR BINARY AS #1 DO: S$=INPUT$(1,#1) IF S$"" THEN V%=ASC(S$)/4:BYTE&=BYTE&+1 OUT &H42,V%*2 LOOP WHILE NOT EOF(1):END

[@dgeoffri]

@@SquirrelMonkeyCom oh I know, I had an original IBM PC growing up and I used to play MOD files through the 1-bit PC speaker until I built my own Covox-compatible resistor ladder out of spare parts. But I have not seen anything that would do that using the FM synthesizer in a Creative Labs Game Blaster, which is more similar to an Adlib card.

[@TeeToTheBee]

Long time no see, also not my spanish lessons in the 80s!

[@STICKOMEDIA]

Apparently "afstandsbediening" means remote control... interesting

[@SquirrelMonkeyCom]

Now translate "gemeentereinigingsdienstafdelingshoofd".

[@smileylmao]

I just click on this video and a Duolingo ad pops up in the begining of the video

[@BrandonMcBadass]

Lmao the long Dutch word is literally Duolingo when it goes from “Russia - Greetings” to “Russian - Basic Phrases 1” Somehow the jump is way out of left field and goes from “hi” to “here is all of these formals based on context which all of what you knew before is now out the window”. For Korean, the voice actor sucks so you can’t get passed learning the alphabet but the rest is fine For Chinese, there gets to a point where I’m at, which is fairly far along, where the speed is rapid fire even if you slow it down And for Czech, you go from learning how to flirt with questionable phrases like “beautiful pretty little girl” and then the next lesson puts you in your place with “She’s a woman, not a machine”

[@windestruct]

When I started russian for the first time, it instantly jumped into cyrilic and I had to make it up myself that и means "i"

[@iich.bin.sway.]

In German lessons they love making me say “der elefant ist sehr groß” and stuff

[@avi12]

I genuinely forgot that I'm subscribed to the channel

[@RedRunner098]

I feel a deja vu by seeing this

[@BeepyBepsy]

This teaching style might be actually better than Duolingo’s because they don’t just give you the answer but if you are now starting you have no idea what to do.

[@BagelNosed3DSuser]

“Mice means corn”

[@Its_Maroon343]

WHY DID I GET A DUOLINGO AD😭😭😭😭(worth it tho)

[@JohnTitor2036]

I can't get enough of those videos lol

[@krisvsthew0rld]

you cannot tell me dutch is a serious language what was that word from the hint at the end

[@SquirrelMonkeyCom]

Compound nouns don't contain spaces in Dutch, so words like "truck driving education manual" becomes truckdrivingeducationmanual = vrachtwageneducatiehandleiding.

[@ToTheGAMES]

@@SquirrelMonkeyCom Vrachtwagenbesturingsinstructiehandleiding? ;) The "driving" part was missing. Oh, who cares! 😅 Love the work!

[@eenvulkaan]

​@@SquirrelMonkeyCom as you can imagine, people with dyslexia might have some problems understanding dutch with such words 😅

[@SquirrelMonkeyCom]

True! That's why it is allowed to use a hyphen, to make it easier to read.
