The Swedish word "trakasserier" comes as a courtesy of the French language. It comes from the word "tracasserie". Thank you French, for making things more difficult even in other languages. And thanks for "squirrel" from you own "écureuil". 😉 How kind! You give too much.

[@bre_me]

Spanish is so straightforward compared to the other languages and how they’re spelled versus how they’re pronounced. It’s extremely phonetic and spelled exactly how it’s pronounced without exceptions really. Just know the rules and you’re good to go. Italian is similar but it has double consonants that add a layer of difficulty that Spanish doesn’t have.

[@HDJess]

Except it's not pronounced exactly how it's written. LL = i, c = s (sometimes), G and J = H (sometimes) and so on. So, it's really far from "without exceptions".

[@Tenseiken_]

Personally i think that the less a language is phonetic, the harder it is to learn, because you're essentially learning every word double if that makes sense. You have to learn the intricate pronunciation of single letters and their combinations all seperately and to get to the point in a language you're learning that you can make out the native pronunciation of a word you haven't heard yet is insanely difficult. This becomes even harder if the language has a couple inconsistent rules and/or exceptions out of the blue. Oh and of course if the language's alphabet is not your native alphabet, that includes simple things like having additional letters like ö, ä, ü but even more so if its a whole new alphabet like greek, russian or chinese. Languages are really cool.

[@moladiver6817]

You managed to write all that down in one of the least phonetic languages of them all.

[@bluu_mie8669]

This was very much my experience learning English as a person from a country that uses the Cyrillic alphabet and has a pretty much phonetic language.

[@luikanami]

True only to a certain point, i'd say. Usually the other languages follow rules in their pronunciation and make a lot of sense to get to the right pronunciation, so after just a little while into the learning process you won't even notice English, French or Gailic aren't like German, Japanese or Italian. Exceptions are languages like Chinese, where you have to literally memorize a picture or comination of pictures describing every single word.

[@luikanami]

I always think about it this way: In French, English or Gaelic the letters are used like numbers in equations producing curves. Once you are familiar with the math you'll get every new word without ever looking up the pronunciation. In Italian, Russian, German, Japanese or Spanish, the letters (being it Cyrillic, Latin/Arabic or Hiragana) are more like coordinates that don't produce a curved graph but simply have to be connected with streight lines. Letters do different things in those two groups, yet it's perfectly logic.

[@jasoninsalaco1998]

For Italy it could be "supercarifragilistechespiralitoso"

[@mariekolibri8570]

It'd be interesting to see how different the word in each language is. In german it's: supercalifragilisticexpialigetisch. In english the end is different and they say: ....gotish or sth

What makes Swedish hard is that we have around 20+ different vowel sounds written with 9 letters in total (a, e, i, o, u, y, å, ä, ö). Every vowel letter have at least 2 different sounds. Some sounds are also very unique to the Swedish language. Like the combination "sj" and "sk" in "sjuksköterska and also how we pronounce the letter "u". These two sounds are the easiest to spot if you are a native Swedish speaker or not.

⁠​⁠@@patax144Spanish borrowed the word from Quechua as both caucho and cauchuc. French borrowed cauchuc as caoutchouc.

I really don't understand why the hard 'G' sound in Dutch seems to be considered the 'only correct way to pronounce the G like'. Dutch is a special case in that regard, because the sound changes significantly towards the softer variation once you travel to the south of the country of the Netherlands. In fact, all Flemish people speak Dutch with either the softer g sound or even an H sound instead. The Swedish girl actually gives a good example of how that soft g sounds like in Dutch when she teaches the others her Swedish word.

There are tons of accents in The Netherlands. I think we have over 15 different accents here.. i don’t know why but that might be why at every city they tend to pronouns the G or just most words in general differently.

[@ATM17820]

i feel like the correct pronunciation should be revealed at the end. saying it first just makes everyone copy the same thing. why is no one in the comments talking about this?

[@ATM17820]

@@flz7056 I mean if one hears the phonetics of the word, it isn't hard to reciprocate it with minimal mistake. In the end everyone here is trying to get the pronunciation as close as to what the native speaker sounds like yeah? It is a natural human tendency in this particular case to try to get it right since they have heard how it actually sounds. This video proves my comment, because at times some of the participants do say that they will be able to get the pronunciation right if they hear it multiple times from the native speaker.

Before clicking on this video I knew the German girl would be choosing "Eichhörnchen". It's THE German shibboleth, followed by "Streichholzschächtelchen" (small matchbox).

Swedish has the military term: "Pansarvärnspjästerrängbil". There are lots of longer military terms in Swedish. Also, in parts of Sweden, the word for "yes" is pronounced while *inhaling* air. Technical term: Ingressive sound.

Ingressive sound, only lizard and snakes, crocs do this sound when they're are in love or predating or battle. 😅😅😅😅😅😅 Nasty sound my mate, hooolllyyyy shiiiit😅😅😅😅

Electroencefalografista is maybe long word, but not hard. I am Slovak and I would say this is not only Spanish word but also Slovak word. They are exactly the same. It is because many doctor specialists have international names.

[@chucku00]

Instead of "Mille-Feuille" (well done for spelling this word correctly because when talking about a thousand paper sheets you have to use the plural form "mille feuilles", yup another exception) a better choice would have been "Écureuil" because it contains the specific French "u" and "r". And "caoutchouc" (from the Spanish word "cauchuc" and originating from a Perivian language) isn't really hard to pronounce in most languages. "Trakasserier" (declension of "trakasseri") comes from the French "tracas, tracasser, tracasserie".

[@M_i_z_a_r_y]

shouldve used "donau­dampfschifffahrts­elektrizitäten­hauptbetriebswerk­bauunterbeamten­gesellschaft" for the german word :,)

Why no Georgian? It will be a lot of fun. Saying words like ვეფხვთმბრდღვნელი (vepkhvtmbrgdvgneli) ბაყაყი წყალში ყიყინებს (it has a sound that doesn't exist in European languages). Or you did it on purpose, so no one will have to visit hospital? ))))) About Swedish. I love this language. It is very beautiful. The only thing about sjuksköterska. I am not a Swede, maybe it depends on the region, but when I was learning the language I heard how people pronounce it and in the end, it wasn't ska, it was shka.

[@pelstussen]

yeah, it's definitely dependent on regional accent!

[@HenrikJansson78]

Up north in Sweden they pronounce it ..shka, so it depends on the dialect. But also, in general, I think the combination "..rs.." have a tendency to merge into a sh-sound when spoken quickly.

[@user-ef3ez1lf2n]

@@HenrikJansson78 Thanks for explanation. Even google translate pronounces it like shka.

[@HenrikJansson78]

@@user-ef3ez1lf2n But still, when it comes to "..rs.." transforming into a sh-sound when speaking fast, it's not a proper sh-sound. Us swedes definately still hear that it's "..rs.." and not a proper "sh". But for foreigners, I would not expect that they hear any difference. :)
