Romanian probably IS the trickiest language in Europe, has a lot of influences and sounds like it could belong to multiple language groups. But what she said was kinda accurate it does sound like a mix between russian and french or Spanish (especially accent).

It might be just me, but Romanian is far from the most tricky ones, it's very clear that it's not Italian or Spanish and definitely doesn't sound slavic. The trickiest language would have to be any ex-yugoslav language (seriously they swear their languages are different, but you have to know the vocab to notice) or, like Czech and Slovak.
@namiswan2830
@namiswan2830 11 місяців тому
@@Aadrian7 i mean “tricky” in terms of “what language group does it belong to”. All the languages you’ve mentioned sound typically slavic and the vocab has nothing in common with any Latin language (with some exceptions of course) so even for someone who doesn’t speak any slavic language they are obviously slavic. I’m not even talking about “what language is it exactly” cause ofc for someone who doesn’t know the vocab it will be hard to differentiate those languages.. but with Romanian, people don’t even know where to start because they do hear the words and might recognise the similarity to other Latin languages, but they still get confused by the accent, which to someone who doesn’t speak Romanian or any slavic language, it does sound rather “eastern European”.

Uh... what exactly does it tell you about US education system? That they don't teach what every foreign/European language sounds like? Do they teach that in the "European" education systems? At 2:02 , Destiny says: "It kind of sounds a little, like, _spanish-y_ , but we're talking Europe so I was thinking, like, Portugal" She wasn't saying that Spain isn't in Europe. What she meant is that contrary to America, in Europe Spanish is spoken in only one country, so she feels free to go with a different guess than Spanish. Note that at 2:17 , both women give their answer as "Spain", so obviously they know Spain is a European country. Furthermore, even before the first European speaker appeared, they were discussing Spanish, French and Italian as possible languages that they might be asked to guess, so obviously they were aware that Spanish is a European language.

@@annamay1966 America is a giant country, most European countries are less populated and area wise can fit inside of our states. Much more closely packed European countries are more likely to learn and be exposed to other languages. In America unless you are an immigrant still speaking your native language, you speak English and maybe a little Spanish due to the high population of people of Mexico and Puerto Rico.
