Anywhere wild and rural: exists Jack: it must be the Faroe Islands The Faroe Islands are actually quite like Scotland but with more Scandinavian/Icelandic terrain. The architecture consists of quite a colourful Swedish style as well. Edit: it also has no trees
There is mostly like island whith barely any trees
As a Faroese person. I can confirm that the Trees are non-existent in the Faroe Islands.
@@hjHeBj i'm a faroese person as well from fuglafjørur
It also has no Italian words
DAS WAT IM SAYING
14:16 I love how Jack closed up on the sign but didn't even notice the Hungarian flag 😂
yeah hes special
Also, it's not an ice cream shop, it's a tobacco store, the only place you can buy cigarettes here. In some places you can also buy bus tickets there for some reason
I think he thought it was a design or something lol
He thought the tobbaco store was the ice cream shop 😭
@@monjarinafsheen9867 That's because those little flags are Wall's flags, who are a British manufacturer of ice cream that sell in a lot of European, Asian, and Oceanic countries. So clearly the store sold ice cream too at some point or another.
Jack: "It really does feel more european" also Jack: *instantly zooms into south asia*
Aa
Aaaaaaaa

Me:hhhhhh not
I was thinking Italian or Romanian lol
Jack, some suggestions for Italy: -95% of italian words end with vowels, differently from other romance languages -The double blue license plates are italian (but they can also be French) -If you see a lot of Fiat Panda (like you did on 17:19 ) it's certainly Italy (most common car) -A lot of people also usually forget Italy isn't just sun and sea, there are a lot of mountains, so if you see an alpine looking place don't exclude Italy right away
First of all the trick for telling apart Italy from others is not the double blue REAR plates - France also has those. The thing that separates Italy from France is that the front plates, which also have a double blue, appear to be short in Italy as opposed to normal/long in France. Good to know because your statement isn't entirely correct.
Also the dog chasing the car was an Italian breed.
and i believe the word di is only italian
Nhl the Agritourismo really gave it away
I'm pretty sure double blue license plates can also be French or Albanian
in hungary, you literally missed the depiction of the hungarian flag on the store sign at the ice cream shop place
It wasnt a ice cream shop it was a tobacco shop😂
Same bro im Hungarian
I NOTICED THAT TOO
Here are some tips for Singapore: 1. The danger sign like in 7:43 as you can see it has four languages, because singapore has 4 languages those are Malay, English, Chinese and Indian (Tamil) 2. Some of the singaporean buses a have this sign saying “SG*love sign*BUS” if you can see SG stand for Singapore, so it’s quite easy to know that is Singapore That’s all the tips I have thanks Edit: also the singaporean buses plate numbers always starts from, SG, SMB, SBS, or TIB (no more using TIB) for now
HUMP on the road?
And the round green road posts
Indian is a race, next time just say tamil
@@cupcakegirl_1216ok
The bus stands the buses have sg
*12:16* bro why did I die hearing this 💀
12:07 Lots of coutries use STOP on stop signs even if they don't speak English so a stop sign often doesn't say much
Me being really bad at geography seeing CLEARLY tons of Italian words in the last one is shocked that this didn't seem obvious to you 🤣 (And I'm not Italian either)
8:14 That Orange car is called a Ute, it’s a mix between a pickup truck and a car and they are usually seen in Australia
And NZ!!
😊
Yes, Utes = Aus, NZ, pacific islands (esp if Toyota) SEA.
For future reference, Tonga is too tropical to look like that, that is just a Western suburb. And NZ has a sizable Tongan population with over 82,000. Plus your chances of actually seeing Tonga in one of these rounds is pretty slim (as in never, they don’t have official street view) when compared to NZ.

Here are some tips & tricks that I commonly use while playing: There's a lot, but I promise they're helpful! I tried to keep it to facts that should help you narrow it down to one individual country License plate tips: - Bhutan has red plates - Portugal has an additional yellow stripe on the right - France's plates have a blue stripe on the right with a multicolored symbol on the top. If it looks only slightly blue on the right, it's probably French - Belgian plates have red text. If you see a hint of blue it's probably Belgium - Russian plates are white - Some cars/vans/trucks in Norway will have a green plate - Malaysia and Indonesia both have black plates. Indonesia can have three spaces in between the white text, and Malaysia two. It isn't super consistent though. Signs: - A simple one, but if the signs are on the left, you're likely in a country that drives on the left. Unless it's a no passing sign. - Give way signs: In Australia the text is black, in NZ it's red - Malaysian stop signs say Berhenti, Indonesian ones say Stop Road lines: - The US will always have a double striped line on non-residential roads - Canada usually has a single yellow line, but you can sometimes see a double striped line too - Norway has yellow lines - Brazil has double striped yellow lines, similar to the US - Most of South America will have a white middle line Languages: - If it's a Latin alphabet, it's always helpful to try to pronounce it if you can. It could give you a clue as to its origins - Bengali's script usually looks pointier than Hindi - Sri Lanka's scripts look circle-y - Cambodian has a lot of circles - Lao letters have a more defined/square shape - Ukrainian uses more of ï and less of И - Balkan Cyrllic uses Đ - ł is an exclusively Polish letter - Finnish has a lot of umlauts - Estonian, Lithuanian, Latvian, and Hungarian are all accent-heavy languages - Hungarian exclusively uses the double dashed umlaut type thing: ő Misc tips: - The farther east you go in Russia, the more "Asian" the cars begin to look. If you're in Vladivostok for example, the cars would look Japanese. - In many African or Middle Eastern countries, it's not uncommon to have an "escort car" consistently behind the street view car
@Franklin D. Roosevelt innit
I'm from Norway and sometimes the lines aren't really yellow some places use white lines also in Norway the roads might have a lot of hills in them so they mostly aren't straight
Hungarian also exclusively uses ű. And it's called double acute accent or hungarumlaut.
General tip: hot countries will have white buildings (most of the time)
@@armansworld2190 Huh ur an norweagain. Im one too🙂 Also my car plate is white
16:34 A good way to distinguish Spanish and Italian on signs or directions is to remember that the word DI (eg lacco di rosole) appears in Italian as a word meaning of, like the word de or del in Spanish. It will be much more common to see on Italian road signs etc. Also Spanish has a special character, Ññ (pronounced enye) that isn't in the Italian alphabet. Note: I'm not Spanish or Italian, but lived in Spain for 5+ years and can speak it enough to understand a conversation and reply with correct grammar.
“I would sit so hard right there” My dirty mind has entered the chat
Hahaaha!
13:30 Jack british accent at its peak.
Now and 2x speed
7:40 For Singapore, they have 4 official languages usually displayed in this order; English, Chinese, Tamil, and Malay. So that sign was a very good indication that we're in Singapore. Also, there was the Singapore MRT logo (which is the subway system) there as well.

Hello! Serb here! Here are some tips for geogessr to know if you are in Serbia: 1. In Serbia, there are signs that have Cyrillic and latin together, for example: Нови Сад - Novi Sad 2. If you are in a city in Serbia, for example Zemun (Земун), you will definitely see some Orthodox churches. 3. In the capital, Belgrade (Београд), You will see some Serbian embassy's or those buildings 4. Serbia for short is RS as in Republic of Serbia (English is not my first language so, i can't remember some words in English)
FYI: Norway uses an EU-ish Licence plate, but with the norwegian flag instead of the EU one. On small rural roads in norway, the markings are often dashed lines on the side On larger roads the middle markings are yellow Some streets don't have any markings at all (usally only in cities such as Oslo)
Yes, i am from Norway and can confirm this
As long as they are long dashed lines. If they are short, you're in Sweden.

Tips for the Middle East: -for the middle of highways: striped with black and yellow. -if the store names written in French English and Arabic there is a high chance it will be Lebanon

@@Nubin.szn5 shut ur. Mom
You did not have many tips about the middle east/north africa so here are some of mine! There are only 3 countries that speak Arabic that will appear on Geoguessr frequently - Jordan, UAE, and Tunisia. Israel is also in the middle east, but they speak in Hebrew. If you are in the UAE, it will frequently be near Dubai, so lots of modern things, etc. You will also usually find more English here. If you are in Tunisia, it will typically seem quite deserty. Also all phone numbers in Tunisia will have only a 2 digit area code. Also a car that follows the google one. If you are in Jordan, you might also find some English. Look for the yellow/green cars, they are really common there. Hope this helps! Edit - More from comments
Israel also has arabic scripture, but with Hebrew and english + Yellow plates In Tunisia they have a follow car for safety In the UAE the google car is white
There will also likely be some French in Tunisia. Or rather, if you see French in an otherwise Arabic-speaking country, it's probably Tunisia.

Tips: say Canada when you see tall trees, and you don’t see any signs, if you see tall trees it could be Alaska. But most locations of Alaska have camps or signs
The Maine area has tall trees though. But close enough to Canada you will still get points.
“Say” Canada?
I dont know, Canada do have street signs
Washington and Oregon have pretty tall trees and have plenty of remote areas too…
I’ve also seen similar trees in Sweden it’s just somewhere up north

Jack! I love in Switzerland, and when I saw that sign, I realized I lived 5 minutes away from where JackSucksAtLife played geoguesser 😅. Every time you see a hill with a wire fence, yellow signs with öüä those kind of letters and a wooden bench looking out into a valley, that Switzerland. Thank you, father.
My brains dying when jack plays geoguessr Anyway: 1 Faroe Islands barely has any trees, and it looks kinda like Scotland, also you will basically always see a body of water in the Faroe Islands 2 I almost had a heart attack when you mentioned Finland and Faroe Islands for the last round, anyway for future reference the world di, del or de are normal in Latin languages like Spanish French or Italian. 3 when the language has the letter w and l with the weird thing in the middle it is polish. 4 All the former Yugoslavian countries have yellow road signs 5 letters S z and ö are always common in Hungary and are a clear clue 6 Singapore has circular road signs with a green background and white text 7 Baltic countries look like the Nordic countries but have worse infrastructure and look poorer bcs they were a part of the Soviet Union. Estonian sounds a lot like finnish and uses lots of vowels and letters like u with the curvy thing on top. If you see the word iela somewhere it is always Latvia, because iela means street.
Uu
probably a coincidence, but in Portuguese we have the word "viela" (alley) which is a similar word and also synonymous with street.
WHY IS LITERALLY NO ONE TALKING ABOUT JACK GUESSING ENGLAND AT 4.34 WHERE THE CARS ARE DRIVING CLEARLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ROAD...
My name starts with sz ...cause im hungary and I think ö and sz are not that common maybe like szia it means hi btw and more
As a Hungarian I have never seen anybody mistake a tobacco shop for an ice cream shop and I almost died of laughter.

7:02 I'm a Singaporen myself and that sign, poster thing was a big hint as at least in my neighbour hood is quite common and small icons at the bottom right is also a big hint .Also be on the look out for the blue recyclings bin because that also pinpoints Singapore, the bins can be large, on wheels with a sticker that says what can and can't be reycycled
You should definitely learn more about different languages, I feel that for most Europeans knowing a bit of other languages is common knowledge. For example, all of the signs in the last round were screaming Italian to me.
UK has one of the highest populations of people who only speak one language
@@opheliamillward There is a difference between speaking and recognising languages. I am a Bulgarian and I know only Bulgarian and English kind of, but I recognise almost all languages with some small exceptions. It's really important for GeoGuessr and not only for it.
@@mxrt0 true!! I do struggle with european languages despite being welsh myself, i can easily recognise polish but i struggle with scandinavia and slovakia and hungarian
@@opheliamillward I struggle with Some of the slavic languages ironically, like telling apart czech from slovak or even slovenian sometimes, or croatian
Yeah same
4:35 It could never have been England, because they drive on the right side of the road. Never forget to check which side of the road they drive on, because that way you can almost always immediately exclude a bunch of countries.

As a Singaporean, I immediately recognised my country and here are a few tips: 1. At 7:03 while you were looking at the banner, you can see in the corner a few logos. The first one is Temasek foundation, Temasek is what Singapore used to be called the rest of the logos also represent foundations in Singapore 2. When theres a sign with 4 different languages, normally English Chinese Malay and Indian, you can automatically assume its Singapore as these are the four most common languages here. 3. On the road, you can see a few green buses. On the side they literally have the words “Sg*heart*Bus”. 4. If you see high rise building with void decks below, those are most likely HDB flats, the most common housing in Singapore.
Loving the geoguessr content! Hopefully there'll be more soon. Sometimes I rewatch the old geoguessr videos from when the channel was first made because they're so enjoyable

“Look what I’ve got” *(sees me)* “A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one” Never thought I’d be in one, but thanks for the belated birthday gift, Jack! So regarding that Singapore guess, I knew immediately it was Singapore just by looking at the architecture. It’s European style mixed with tropical vibes. So I’d guess Singapore in Battle Royale: Countries without further looking, because when you’re playing Battle Royale: Countries like I do and especially during the final round, that part of the time where you can lock your answer is crucial. Also, the font of those street signs are distinctly Singaporean. If you ever see that font, it is Singapore.
Im from Malaysia but I thought of Malaysia too at first when I saw the malay texts
The dead giveaway to me that it was Singapore was the black and white curb stripes.
@@erindizmo Yeah but Jack will never know cause he sucks

Tips for hungary! Since you missed the "ice cream shop" that is actually a cigarette boutiqe, every single one has the hungarian flag on its logo below the 18. Very weird looking latin *wovels* with dots and lines above it are usually hungarian but if theyre *syllables* theyre most definietly are polish or other slavic languages. When in the rural area, a lot of houses can be pretty nice eith a cute garden and fence around it, but also the diversity shows collapsed buildings sometimes. When in a more populated area, try to look for as many flags as you can, you will definietly find a hungarian one in a few minutes because we jjst love our flag. Hope this helps🤍
Some tips for hungary: - The letters "ő" and "ű" (not to be confused with "ö" and "ü") are only found in the hungarian language - Storks on lampposts are also common here - the "Sz" is common, you had a good lead there - Tobacco stores are all over the place, which is what the "ice cream shop" was - The license plates have a thicc blue band, as you found out
Tip for the Faroe islands, you will almost always be able to see the ocean and mountains and their aren't a lot of trees and even though we are a part of Denmark we are not in the EU
...So you're a colony lol.
yeah… :(
@@blondesocialist6498 Do you wish to be a part of Denmark or be independent?
Independent, I don’t want us to keep being under imperialist rule
As a proud Canadian I would like to point out a couple of things for help whenever playing geoguesser 1. We have lots of maple trees 2. We mainly speak English and French people here have a variety of skin tones. 3. We mainly have cars that have the drivers seat on the left side not the right side. 4. It can usually be very sunny in summer and sometimes it is super cloudy. And finally 5. The grass is usually quite green
I’m so proud of Jack for guessing my country right 😂
HOW???!!!
the best comment ever!!!
[sections enclosed in square brackets are additions to the original comment] Whenever it is cloudy: ‘Are we in Sweden/Finland/Norway/Denmark?’ No, Jack! You don’t know what Nordic countries look like at all! Please have a look at what Nordic houses and terrain looks like, because it is very distinctive, and easy to notice. That Italian round was particularly bad, because you didn’t realise that it was winter at all. There [are] trees with no leaves on them! Believe it or not, Italy gets cold in the winter! The -io and -o suffixes are also very Italian. The à/á is very common in places like Hungary, I think. ‘los’, ‘de la’ is always Spanish, ‘das’/‘da’ is Portuguese. Also, Romanian is a Romance language, and is similar to Italian, so don’t let yourself be caught out by that. The EU number plates help to distinguish between countries like Serbia, Montenegro, Bulgaria, and North Macedonia, from countries like Russia and Ukraine. Quite often, when there are no signs, the landscape is the most important thing to pay attention to. I can generally distinguish between Nordic, Western European, Mediterranean, Eastern Ukrainian/Western Russian, North American, South American, MENA, and African terrain, which helps a lot. It’s a good idea for you to familiarise yourself with these different climates, and also to recognise that the weather is not so important. Just because the area is cloudy, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is somewhere away from the poles. I often see countries like Kenya being cloudy/rainy (the name of the country will often be on churches, too, for Kenya), for example.
13:56 In the lower half of Belgium they speak French, that's why there are hints of it. Not because it borders France. Also if something is written in Dutch and French chances are big it's Belgium since those are the two dominant languages in Belgium.
I was about to comment this too. Also, the "crossing out of the town" signs (13:22) are also commonly used in Belgium.
4:31 As someone from NZ, I can assure there are many Tongan people living here - I've counted 20 on my street alone.
3:34 AS SOMEONE POLISH THAT WAS A MEAT SHOP/BUTCHER SHOP 5:26 BRO I ALWAYS SAW STORKS ON POSTS IN POLAND,NOT JUST A LITHUANIA THING!
as an Italian I can give you some advices 1) most of the words ends with a vowel 2) don't exclude Italy when you see mountains because in the north there are the alps 3) the REAR plates have the 2 blue things on both sides, but only the rear one 4) pay attention to words like 'via ' (example : via Annia) 5) 'San' it is used to indicate a church or some religious place, so if you see something like (example) 'basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano) it's Italy (btw all the examples I made I got them from Google maps so it's possible that you can easily find them on the map💀)
One simple trick to recognizing Hungarian: It's the only language that uses the letter ő - that is an o with two accents (not to be confused with ö, an o with umlaut). It's a very common letter in Hungarian as well, so it's a rule that has a lot of use! I use a bunch of little tricks to distinguish between similar languages, but at the level of "this one has long words" I don't think they'd be very helpful lol. But maybe one you might find useful is that Finnish and Estonian use a lot of double vowels - if you see a long word with "uu" and "ii" in it, you're probably in one of those two.
Also, crappy roads and gibberish sounding language is great for finding hungary too

Faroe Islands is just like Greenland where there is just rocks and snow

Tip: Your best guesses with blurry photos are the US or Australia Another tip is that some vechile brands are only available in certain countrys so use that to your advantage Licence plates in the US give good hints towards the state you are in.
Blurry may also be Germany.
@@jlpack62 I think what he was saying is that US/Australia have blurry photos as if they are of poor quality ( gen 1 ) . Germany is blurry in terms of a lot of the locations in Germany have a lot of blurs as if they are censored. Hope this clears things out!

Bpost is always belgian. Belgium has 3 official languages, German Dutch and French, so if you see any of those languages, you could be in Belgium
As a Belgian, I can confirm that BPost is in fact Belgian, but sometimes a package that you ordered can be delivered by PostNL.
Right languages wrong order.
Tips for Europe -Italy has blue strips on both sides of license plates, and the front plate is way shorter than the back plate. -Those electricity poles with many holes in them, are mostly found in Hungary, Romania and Poland. Romania usually has the bottom of their poles painted in white, while Hungary’s poles are usually thicker than the ones in Poland or Romania. -If you have a giant rift or a hole in the middle of the sky, you should be in either Montenegro or Albania. Albania uses a mixture of double blue strips (like the one in Italy) and one red strip on their license plates. -Portugal has a yellow strip on the right side of their listened plates, and the eu blue strip on the left. -The electricity poles that are shaped like the letter ‘A’ are mostly found in the Baltic countries -Serbia and North Macedonia usually don’t have an antenna on the back of their car.
the thing with belgium is thta we speak dutch and french and in the north-east even german. some other countires speak multiple languages in parts of their country too. also, knowing a lot of languages can help finding a countrie. greek and latin are inflated in a bunch of languages so if you see "itinerario" it is a roman language because "iter" is latin for "way". this means it is in italy or spain or something
Quick Tip: Australia have very similar rules to the uk (car wise) so if your unsure where your at Australia have - Drive on the left - Right hand drive cars - Similar number plates to American vehicles
Maybe it helps a bit to recognize italian language: most italian words end in a vowel. 17:06 "Del" is one of the exceptions because it's an preposition which was connected, normally "del" would be two words. The two words would be "di" and "il" if somebody wants to know it
Grazie per l’informazione

someone please teach jack how to pronounce “cyrillic” i’m dying 💀 (also long comment ahead, you have been warned) speaking of which, i’ve been learning ukrainian for about 3 months, so here is a quick lesson on the ukrainian alphabet, which does differ slightly to other cyrillic languages: - quite a few characters in the cyrillic alphabet look the same as latin characters, eg: Аа Вв Сс Ее Нн Іі Кк Мм Оо Рр Уу Хх - typically if signs do have latin text they’re underneath the cyrillic, not right next to it - ukrainian and russian are slightly different. for example ъ doesn’t exist in ukrainian - another slight difference is that in ukrainian є is a character, whereas in russian it’s э and just for fun, since things in the cyrillic alphabet are pronounced phonetically and it might be fun to see jack try to pronounce things, here is the ukrainian alphabet: Аа - like ‘a’ in cat Бб - like ‘b’ in bus Вв - like ‘v’ in very Гг - like ‘h’ in hot (but with more energy if that makes sense???) Ґґ - like ‘g’ in golden Дд - like ‘d’ in dog Ее - like ‘e’ in egg Єє - like ‘ye’ (can’t think of an example) Жж - like ‘s’ in leisure Зз - like ‘z’ in zebra Ии - like ‘i’ in little Іі - like ‘ee’ in sweet Її - like ‘yi’ (can’t think of an example) Йй - like ‘y’ in yes Кк - like ‘k’ in kiss Лл - like ‘l’ in lemon Мм - like ‘m’ in mouse Нн - like ‘n’ in nose Оо - like ‘o’ in office Пп - like ‘p’ in problem Рр - rolled ‘r’ (like in the spanish ‘deporte’) Сс - like ‘s’ in ‘salt’ Тт - like ‘t’ in turtle Уу - like ‘o’ in beetroot Фф - like ‘f’ in fruit Хх - pronounced like kh - kinda like a hard ‘h’ sound Цц - like ‘ts’ in lots Чч - like ‘ch’ in chips Шш - like ‘sh’ in shorts Щщ - ‘shch’ - try saying freSH CHerries, emphasising the sh in fresh and ch in cherries Ьь - soft sign, makes the sound before it softer Яя - ‘ya’ ( like the german ja) Юю - like ‘yu’ (idk how to explain it) i’m not gonna go into all the rules of like what makes certain sounds soft or hard, because that confusing. (also please let me know if i could’ve explained anything better here, i’m pretty new to this lmao) also, black license plates are found throughout indonesia and malaysia

You littelary missed the Hungarian flag at the ice cream place below the 18,also I'm in Hungary on a trip right now so I could instantly recognise the language! Love from Budapest! P.S Hungarian tip, Hungary loves its flag, you can't go 100 meters here in Budapest without seeing one, also there are a lot of other flags in Hungary, so if you see a lot of groups of flags, watch out if there's a Hungarian one! Great video as always!
I guessed Hungary too because of "Sz" because there is a football player named Dominik Szoboszlai
@@hkar4385 yeah and I noticed almost every time there is an s there is a z next to it so that can also be a clue
@@secretgamingx As long as it isn't "szcz", which is, I've been assured, uniquely Polish. The ő and ű are definite giveaways for Hungarian, though.
öööö
@@Licw-Luxus öööö to you too!
4:35 "I think that is England" meanwhile every car driving on the right.
Jack a tip is in New Zealand people usually put up flags of where they’re from. Hope this helps.
16:34 Jack whenever you find "Di" in a sentence, it is mostly italian
It means "Of"
fun fact: I learned all 197 flags and countries all with Jack’s help. If you didn’t create this channel and do these videos, I wouldn’t do so well in geography. Before Jack, I literally had a C- in geography, but now I have an A+, which meansI have at least an A in every class! Thank you so much, Jack. I couldn’t have done it without you.
Wow same
Switzerland and germany can also be easy to spot by the Blury circle when you look straight down. Switzerlands camera will be closer to the floor than the other countries too. Germany doesnt have alot of road coverage so more often than not you'll be in a city, alot of randomly blurred buildings is another germany giveaway (germany isnt the only country that has this but it will have more than others). Obviously combine this information with other things like languages just to be safe
(i might have posted this twice) Some suggestions for India: 1. If you see words like Shri, Sri or a letter looking like three (3-|) or just (|) and lots of Latin text and its northern hemisphere. 2. If there's lots of shops with a big building. 3. You'll probably see orange, white and orange with no emblem of the flag. It might be Ireland sometimes, but check the 1st point 4. If you see +91, ₹ and English text. 5. If you see rural and lots and lots of sand than its in the state of "Maharastra" or "Rajastan". 6. If you see tall buildings, malls like that its "Bengaluru" (Most street view in this city in India) and "New Delhi" (Capital) and "Mumbai" the three of them can be seen in maps without zooming in. 7. Small house and mostly square or weird shape of the houses.
Some tips for each round - Round 2 (russia) - 1:10 - the small blue sign on the left side of the road I most commonly see in russia, they are also found in the baltics (estonia latvia lithuania) russia isn't in the eu so the plates would make sense. 2:05 - bulgaria on place names often has the cyrillic on the top line and the english translation on the bottom line. Serbia and montenegro don't have an antenna on their car if you look down. 2:32 - the blue pedestrian street crossing sign with only 3 dashes is found in russia, ukraine, lithuania, estonia, and bulgaria. round 3 (poland) - 2:41 in europe the countries that have poles with holes in them are romania, poland, hungary, and portugal. the holes in the poles in romania are bigger than polands and hungarys. Hungary and poland will have two of those poles stacked on each other (like you see there) sometimes polish holes will often be smaller too. I don't think the windmills mean anything. There is no way to be sure where the sun is when it's that cloudy. 3:47 - that blue pedestrian crossing sign with one line in europe is only found in poland round 4 (new zealand) - 4:00 this is simply just not indonesia or singapore, indonesia is not ever that rich and has extremely different architecture singapore is much more cramped in general. Tonga doesn't have google coverage (along with most other small island nations) so i don't think it's possible to find in country streaks round 5 (netherlands) - 4:40 the yellow license plate in europe is only found in uk, netherlands, and luxembourg (the yellow plate in the uk is only found on the back plate front plate will be white) round 6 (estonia) - 5:50 with a lot of double letters the language is most likely finnish or estonian round 7 (singapore) - 6:46 that type of sign that almost looks like us signs are only found in singapore latin text in asia is found in malaysia, singapore, indonesia, and philippines 7:16 malaysia doesn't speak english 7:40 that sign with 4 different languages you will find only in singapore round 9 (switzerland) 9:18 faroe islands will have some bars on the car if you look down, also there are almost no trees and the mountains are extremely distinctive and don't look like the ones found here round 10 (jordan) 9:49 when there is arabic and a black car it will be jordan - tips about middle east, tunisia will have black plates, israel has a very distinctive language and often has red and white or black and white curbs, uae is pretty similar to jordan except no black car and most parts are much more built up round 11 (belgium) 10:20 the plates will have a slightly red tinge to them in belgium like shown there round 12 (uk) 11:06 irish plates won't have yellow on them round 13 (spain) 12:32 the only blue pedestrian crossing sign with that amount of dashes is spain. 12:39 those do look like french signs but french signs have different fonts and the language is pretty clearly not french - also the pretty dry landscape won't be found in france most of the time round 14 (belgium) 13:08 the houses with lots of stone are very commonly found in france and belgium, with the french language I probably would've guessed France, but maybe if I found red tinge on the license plates I would guess belgium. 13:22 (as you say later on in the video) those signs are found in the entirety of europe i believe round 15 (hungary) 14:17 very clearly a hungarian flag there (also there are poles with holes in this round) 14:30 I'm not sure why there was blue on both sides there which is found in italy and france (probably a travelling car) 15:00 you are correct "sz" is pretty common in hungary round 16 (usa) with yellow center line on the road it is most often in north or south america, this is pretty clearly not south america. distinguishing between canada and usa can be tough, I don't see much here (other than the flag) that is definitive. Some tips are that canadian speed limit signs will say "maximum" in the us they will just say speed limit round 17 (italy) 16:35 pretty obviously italian with the "di" 17:24 the black car has a "short plate" which is basically just a smaller license plate which is found in italy, along with the blue on both sides, this is italy You got pretty lucky with almost exclusively europe and you got no south america which is probably the toughest continent for me at least.
For how long did u write this?!?! That must be atleast 30min
Blue on both sides of the number plate is an Italian thing. I've noticed it's quite common in Albania too. Similarly in Portugal, they have blue on the left and yellow on the right side of the number plate.
Italy and Albania, sometimes France aswell.
@@hamderv8410 Yeah, but its easy to tell apart from the front plates.
@@hamderv8410 france has it always however its very hard to notice
A few tips with languages: 1. if you see this accent: ´ on anything except an e, youre not in france (they only put it on e's) 2. if you see an Ę / ę or Ą / ą and a lot of sz or accents on n, c, z (or a dot like ż) or s, youre probably in poland 3. if you see an Å / å youre probably in scandinavia and if there is also an ö or ä, youre in sweden 4. japanese uses chinese characters, but they also use katakana and hiragana, which look way simpler and hiragana has a lot of curves 5. in the cryllic alphabet, the letter ы isnt used in ukrainian, but the latin letter i is 6. thats what hebrew looks like: בְּרֵאשִׁ֖ית בָּרָ֣א אֱלֹהִ֑ים אֵ֥ת הַשָּׁמַ֖יִם וְאֵ֥ת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ 7. korean looks like very blocky, geometrical chinese 8. Ř / ř is mainly used in czech 9. if you see Å / å and Ø / ø, youre in norway or denmark 10. if you see german, but it looks very weird, youre in finland (lol) 11. ı (i without a dot) is mainly used in turkish 12. if you see something that resembles arabic, but is written vertically, youre in mongolia 13. if you see ö, ü or ä, youre probably in germany or estonia. if you also see õ, youre in estonia I'll edit this if more comes to mind׃
HOW LONG DID THIS TAKE TO WRITE 😯
@@GLW176 like 15 minutes. not that long
Bru how? 😮🤔
Å and Ø also exists in the danish alphabet, but we also got the letter Æ that I don't think norwegian got
@@hiam3917 Oh yeah, i totally forgot about danish. But norwegian also has Æ
Broken roads, Lada cars and derelict wooden houses... "That must be Norway!"
For Finland: Most signs for different cities and towns are in two languages, Finnish first and then Swedish.
For future reference In Singapore we have warning message at construction side in all 4 major language (English, Chinese, Malay, Tamil) eg 7:40. And alot of places will have sign in english and chinese together
Here is the tips for Russia The crosswalks themselves can often be yellow (or orange) and white, as in the picture. Road numbering system: Russia Road Numbering System Electricity poles: The most common types: Electricity/light poles can often be painted white at the bottom: Light poles by the side of the road can also have black and white stripes on them at the bottom to serve as reflectors for drivers in the night: License plates: Regular plates are all-white with a Russian flag in the corner: The 2 or 3-digit number above the flag signifies the region (oblast) the plates were issued in (see the region number map below). Public transport vehicle plates are yellow: The tractor or agricultural vehicle (1st) and motorcycle (2nd) plates are more boxy: The region (oblast) numbers on the plates are as follows: The numbers follow an alphabetical pattern and are grouped by the federal subject type: Republics А-Я 01-21, Krais А-Я 22-27, Oblasts А-Я 28-76, Moscow and St. Petersburg 77 and 78, the one Autonomous Oblast 79, Okrugs and Autonomous Okrugs А-Я 80-89 (you won’t have to learn the codes for Crimea and outside territories, unless you are playing a photosphere map). There are some exceptions to the pattern and those have to be learned, and some federal subjects also have multiple codes. For the full list of license plate codes for each federal subject see the list on Wikipedia: Vehicle registration plates of Russia - Regional codes Sometimes buses and UAZ vans can have their license plate numbers/characters written big on their backs, which is useful as they are not blurred like the plates: Original picture: Bus to Zelenogorsk However, if you are lucky, you can find an unblurred plate, or more often a corner of a plate with the oblast number not blurred. The Tatarstan plates are a little bit different from the rest of the country and have the region’s flag and no region number: Phone area codes: Vegetation/Landscape: An EXTREMELY useful map of tree ranges in Russia which is enormously helpful for narrowing down the location in the country: Right click on the image, “View image” for higher resolution. You can Google the trees to see how they look. Trees in Russia can often be painted white at the bottom as an insect repellent or roadside reflector: Specific tree: Probably the most distinctive out of all the vegetation in Russia is the famous “Hokkaido cabbage”, which in Russia grows only on the island of Sakhalin in the far east of the country: The accurate name for this plant is (giant) butterbur, or fuki in Japanese (Latin: Petasites japonicus). Another distinctive plant/tree is the Siberian larch, which grows only in Siberia and the Far East, and not in the rest of the country (see the range on the map above): Larch is one of the rare coniferous tree species which sheds its needles during the winter, so you can also see it with yellow or without any needles in some parts of the country, depending on when the coverage was taken: (Picture from Mongolia.) Architecture: A very common old rural house style, made from dark logs with colourful ornate windows: The bus stops can be decorated sometimes: General look: - Alphabet/script: Russian uses the Cyrillic script: Full guide to reading Russian Cyrillic, comparison with Latin, and differences with Ukrainian/Belarusian (written by Alok): East Slavic Cyrillic Guide Subdivisions: The Russian Federation consists of 85 federal subjects - 46 oblasts, 22 republics, 9 krais, 4 autonomous okrugs, 3 federal cities and 1 autonomous oblast: Right click on the image, “View Image” for higher resolution. Many of these are named after the biggest, capital city in the region.

When learning a new language, the first step is understanding the alphabet. This is especially important when you’re learning a language that differs from the traditionally recognized Roman alphabet, like Russian. Although a mix of both is included in the Russian alphabet, many letters are different and come with unique pronunciation. To give you a strong base for fluency, this article will go into a comprehensive introduction to the Russian alphabet and its pronunciation. Russian Cyrillic Alphabet The Russian alphabet uses Cyrillic script. This is Slavic type of writing system that’s used in several countries such as Belarus, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia, Ukrainian, Uzbekistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia, and more. It’s based on the Greek alphabet and has since been adapted by various countries and used in everyday text and language. Although it varies from the Roman alphabet, it’s used in over 50 languages. This makes understanding the Russian Cyrillic alphabet extremely beneficial, especially if you plan on traveling. The Russian language is read left to right, just like in English and other Latin languages. How Many Letters are in the Russian Alphabet? There are 33 letters in the Russian alphabet. This includes 21 constants, 10 vowels, and two letters that don’t make sounds on their own, but instead act as modifiers to other letters in the Russian alphabet. Some of the letters in the Russian alphabet resemble those in English, French, or even Spanish, but not all of these letters produce the same sounds. Therefore, try to disassociate between the two and don’t directly translate the Russian alphabet to English. When you view them both as separate commodities, it makes the learning process a bit easier. Russian Alphabet Pronunciation When first being introduced to the Russian alphabet, pronunciation can seem a little challenging, as the alphabet doesn’t follow the same rhythm as Roman alphabets. With a little practice and some dedication, you’ll soon be able to recognize the letters and pronounce full sentences. To help you practice and perfect your use of the Russian alphabet, download Tandem and match with a native speaker today. In the meantime, consider the following chart on how to pronounce each individual letter within the Russian alphabet. Russian Alphabet Letter Russian Alphabet Pronunciation Russian Alphabet to English Comparative A(a) Ah sounds like ar in far Б(б) Be sounds like b in big В(в) Ve sounds like v in very Г(г) Ge sounds like g in go Г(г) Ge sounds like g in go Д(д) De sounds like d in day E(e) Ye sounds like ye in yes Ё(ё) Yo sounds like yo in your Ж(ж) Zhe sounds like s in pleasure З(з) Ze sounds like z in zebra И(и) Ee sounds like ee in bee Й(й) Ee kratkoyeh (short i) sounds like y in boy K(k) Ka sounds like c in cat Л(л) El sounds like l in love М(м) Em sounds like m in mouse Н(н) En sounds like n in note О(о) O sounds like o in not П(п) Pe sounds like p in perfect Р(р) Er sounds like r in run (but rolled like a Spanish rr) С(с) Es sounds like s in sun Т(т) Te sounds like t in time У(у) Oo sounds like ou in you У(у) Oo sounds like ou in you Ф(ф) Ef sounds like f in food Х(х) Kha sounds like ch in loch Ц(ц) Tse sounds like ts in boots Ч(ч) Che sounds like ch in check Ш(ш) Sha sounds like sh in shut Щ(щ) Shcha sounds like sh in sheep Ъ(ъ) Tvyordeey znahk (hard sign) no sound on its own-makes the letter before hard Ы(ы) Ih sounds like i in ill Ь(ь) Myagkeey znahk (soft sign) no sound on its own-makes the letter before soft Э(э) E sounds like e in end Ю(ю) Yoo sounds like u in universe Я(я) ya sounds like ya in yard As you can see, some of the letters resemble Roman alphabets, while others are unique to the Russian alphabet. Some of the differences in Russian alphabet pronunciation can be tricky at first, especially in regard to letters such as Ж, Й, Щ, and Ы. The key is practicing and increasing your exposure to these letters to help enhance recall and work towards fluency. A Few Helpful Tips for Learning the Russian Alphabet Trying to navigate the Russian alphabet to English pronunciation can be difficult, but practice makes perfect. Once you master the alphabet, you can start learning nouns, verbs, and even a few Russian swear words! To help you strengthen your skills, try using a few helpful hints. For one, you can try to associate some of the new letters in the Russian alphabet with shapes or common objects to help you remember them. While this might not help with pronunciation, mnemonic devices are a great way to help you boost recall when going through the list. For example, З (Ze) resembles the number 3 and the pronunciation rhymes. Ш looks a bit like a fork, Ю resembles a fish, and the two silent letters look like lowercase b’s modified into Ъ and Ь. It’s also helpful to keep in mind that: Letters in the Russian alphabet that are comparable to English pronunciation include A, K, M, O, and T. Letters in the Russian alphabet that look like English letters, but are pronounced differently include B, E, H, P, C, У, and X. Letters in the Russian alphabet that have English letter equivalents (although they look differently) include Б(б), Г(г), Д(д), З(з), И(и), Л(л), П(п), Ф(ф), and Э(э). Letters in the Russian alphabet that don’t have any English letter equivalents include Ё(ё), Ж(ж), Ю(ю), Я я, Ц(ц), Ч(ч), Ш(ш), Щ(щ), Ы(ы), and Й(й). A final thing that makes learning a little easier is the fact that both capitalized and lowercase letters in the Russian alphabet look nearly identical. Understanding the Russian Cursive Alphabet When working towards Russian fluency, an important tool is familiarizing yourself with the Russian alphabet in cursive. This is a variant of the Russian alphabet that’s commonly used during writing. It’s different from the block lettering system that’s shown in the above charts. Although the alphabet is the same, the appearance of Russian cursive can make things look slightly different, as all of the letters are interconnected. Letters in the Russian alphabet are still pronounced the same, so all you need to do is familiarize yourself with how they vary in appearance to help you master the Russian language and improve your fluency. However, keep in mind that like cursive handwriting (or any handwriting for that matter), things can vary from person to person. So, focus on learning the block lettering first, then start to dive into the various types of handwriting used for the Russian alphabet in cursive.
