0:30

recordings of our fellow friends in the

0:32

easy languages network

0:46

okay so number one never ever listen

0:50

small talk what is it

0:56

germany said very quick why is that

0:58

do you are you learning german no no

1:00

it's just the

1:02

just the accent

1:03

germany

1:10

and german could be german yes final

1:14

answer yeah

1:16

ah

1:18

goodness me i would say that uh guessing

1:20

i would say that's

1:22

hungarian hungarian

1:24

no

1:32

there were later bits that i didn't

1:33

recognize as german so that's why i'm

1:35

going swedish you're actually pretty

1:36

close and it's very similar it's dutch

1:38

oh it's touch yeah

1:40

it's dutch dutch dutch

1:43

it's dutch oh it's dutch right okay yeah

1:45

i haven't heard dutch before german was

1:47

a great shout out to people because they

1:48

say valhalm yeah right okay it's dutch

1:51

ah

1:52

dutch wow yeah really you're the first

1:55

person to get that oh wow okay that's

1:57

really good you've been saying neverland

1:59

no

2:00

well what made you say dutch

2:03

i don't know it just kind of just yeah

2:05

well guess to be honest

2:07

brilliant great guess okay next one

2:10

maybe a bit easier

2:14

because i speak french so they used to

2:16

be friends yeah really yeah

2:34

so maybe it's french

2:48

okay so then this one i think you will

2:49

probably get now via frank

2:51

2:53

german

2:55

people from a number of different

6:11

languages it's italian

6:15

it's italian well done so quick

6:18

italian yeah what made you say that

6:22

just sounds like

6:24

battalion

6:28

wait for the pizza

6:31

what what took the box for you is it the

6:33

rhythm or the it's the ah at the end of

6:35

the word right yeah it's kind of kind of

6:38

cliche

6:39

it worked

6:40

there's truth behind the cliche

6:42

somewhere there is all right next one

7:00

is

7:15

i don't know you'll take a guess

7:17

wild guess russian it's polish see i

7:25

polish yeah yeah okay yes of course now

7:28

i think we're talking polish yeah

7:31

that's right yeah right there it's

7:32

interesting the similarities with some

7:34

of the words in greek catastrophe

7:36

you know the way that that e i ending

7:38

which is very specifically you know that

7:41

that that i got i mean i i know a bit of

7:43

greek but only new testament greek um
