[00:00:43]>> And region within a country.

[00:00:45]>> Yeah.

[00:00:45]>> I'm curious myself to be honest.

[00:00:47]>> I know a few countries. I'm not sure if it's going to be the ones that are here.

[00:00:50]And I'm so hoping we have someone from South America here. There's one freaking country that speaks French in South America. I'm like, please.

[00:01:10]>> Based on these questions are going to is going to be too easy.

[00:01:12]>> Yeah, things >> for some countries. Yes, you can try to say something that's not so popular that way like you kind of mask in a way, especially because you guys probably do know like among yourselves what countries do speak your the same language. Try to make it harder. H we cannot lie.

[00:01:27]>> No.

[00:01:28]>> Let's go for the questions. Are you guys ready?

[00:01:30]>> Yeah.

[00:01:30]>> So, first question. What is a popular attraction in your country?

[00:01:34]>> Who's going to start?

[00:01:36]>> Let's start from there. Go all the way here and then we go back and forth.

[00:01:39]>> Okay.

[00:01:40]>> A popular tourist attraction in my country would be we have a famous mountain.

[00:01:44]>> Mountain.

[00:01:45]>> Very random, huh?

[00:01:47]>> A famous one or like your country is famous for having many mountains.

[00:01:50]>> No, they're not going to say things.

[00:01:51]They're like >> We are famous for mountains. We have >> You're famous for mountains overall.

[00:01:55]>> Yeah, that's what I want to act like.

[00:01:57]>> Really?

[00:01:58]>> We are very famous for that.

[00:01:59]>> I had no idea about that.

[00:02:00]>> In my country, many people come to see our lake. Beautiful lake. Especially one lake which is one the second biggest lake in the world.

[00:02:09]>> Second biggest lake in the >> I should have studied more.

[00:02:13]>> I'm guessing something.

[00:02:14]>> Yeah.

[00:02:15]>> In my country, people come to see an island. It's a very important island in the continent's history. the island. Oo, mountains, lake, island. We're going very natural here.

[00:02:28]>> That's not making it easier. Okay, let's go.

[00:02:31]>> And I will say in my country, the landscape is famous.

[00:02:34]>> The landscape that does not guys >> I mean for them it might be harder though like if they just say those things cuz like for us we're like clueless really.

[00:02:42]>> For me right now it's being so difficult to guess.

[00:02:44]>> Yeah, for me too. For me too. I can just say that my country is not famous for landscapes or mountains or anything like that.

[00:02:51]>> Okay. But is there a famous tourist attraction then? Like >> there is a famous square.

[00:02:55]>> Square.

[00:02:56]>> A square like in a city >> like the Vaticano has like that big square stuff. Got it. Got it. Got it.

[00:03:01]Got it.

[00:03:01]>> I mean we are saying make it difficult not impossible.

[00:03:04]>> I mean maybe we're just too naive. I have a genuine question. Do you guys like have any idea based on what you said like within each other like which countries you guys are?

[00:03:12]>> No.

[00:03:13]>> Little ideas.

[00:03:15]>> I'm pretty sure about you two guys.

[00:03:17]>> About you two guys. I'm almost sure.

[00:03:19]>> I have no clue based on what you said.

[00:03:20]No idea. None of you.

[00:03:22]>> I think I know hers. I think. Really?

[00:03:24]Yeah. Because of the island. I'm like, >> but I might be wrong cuz my geography is really bad. I'm horrible with geography.

[00:03:29]>> So the second question is what is the most famous dish in your country? Why you guys usually like >> Well, if we say the most famous is going to be like TOO CAN WE SAY THE second most famous?

[00:03:38]>> What about like why you guys eat more in your countries? Like I don't know in Korea they eat rice or something like that.

[00:03:43]>> Just just a famous a famous dish.

[00:03:44]>> Cuz if I say the most famous, it's too easy. Uh we have like a meat stew. I can't even see the ingredients. Anyway, it's a meat stew. It's delicious. It tastes a bit like cali.

[00:03:54]>> Okay.

[00:03:55]>> A bit similar to that.

[00:03:56]>> No idea.

[00:03:56]>> It's really good. Just suspicious to say though.

[00:03:58]>> Do you miss that dish?

[00:03:59]>> Yeah. That's not helping in any way.

[00:04:01]>> I will not say the first one. Maybe the second one is like dry meat.

[00:04:04]>> What?

[00:04:05]>> Dry meat.

[00:04:05]>> Dry meat.

[00:04:06]>> Yeah. I think mostly beef.

[00:04:10]>> I have no like based on that. Square stew. Dry meat. Landscape. What? In my country, we eat a lot of rice. rice.

[00:04:18]>> Yeah, rice. Yeah, a bit similar to Korea to be honest. Second, I will not say the top one because that's too obvious. The second one is rice and there's a sauce that we make with peanut butter. We share that dish with another country that is next to us. Yeah, it's that dish.

[00:04:35]>> I think if I make her a question, maybe I can guess the country.

[00:04:39]>> You are going to find out.

[00:04:40]>> In my country, we eat a lot beans.

[00:04:43]>> Beans.

[00:04:43]>> Beans. Yeah. And rice. In my country, we are eating a lot of bread.

[00:04:53]>> Oh, you gave the you gave the answer.

[00:04:55]>> It's wide.

[00:04:56]>> Do you think you can guess that? One of them at least. I mean, maybe two.

[00:04:59]>> In Spain, we eat a lot of bread. So, yes. Right.

[00:05:02]>> Come on.

[00:05:03]>> It's not It's not that easy actually because >> third question. What is your biggest holiday?

[00:05:08]>> Biggest holiday.

[00:05:09]>> The biggest holiday >> in my country? The biggest holiday in my country is during summertime. It's a big holiday in my country.

[00:05:18]>> The summer break vacation.

[00:05:18]>> The summer break vacation. Yes. And it's the most popular holiday during the year. Also, Christmas is famous during the year. But of course, I mean, >> so I suppose it's a very Catholic country.

[00:05:28]>> Ah, good, good point. Good point.

[00:05:31]>> In my country, the biggest holiday is the independent day. Then it's in July.

[00:05:36]>> History history.

[00:05:38]We trying to dig high school. I I failed history all my >> I failed geography.

[00:05:44]>> Me too. Like history and geography basically.

[00:05:46]>> Yeah. I could it could it generally could.

[00:05:48]>> In my country the biggest holiday uh holidays it depends on the religion because it's a religious country. So we have Christians and we have Muslims and depending on what religion you are your biggest holiday is different. Let's say it like that.

[00:06:03]>> Okay. I think I know her country.

[00:06:05]>> I gave it away.

[00:06:08]I think the biggest holiday is similar like in summer and Christmas. I will say >> we should not speak cuz I think we're going to guess it right.

[00:06:17]>> No, >> it's the same like Christmas and then the summer break like it's mostly like for people who still go to school.

[00:06:24]>> So for you and for them >> it's very different >> right now. Which do you think guys have like most idea that you can guess the country? for me. I mean, I think I'm not sure the most easiest one is him, the person. And I think the most difficult is she.

[00:06:37]>> Yeah. What would you guys say? Cuz like you're the ones who have to give figure it out.

[00:06:41]>> I would say is easy.

[00:06:42]>> Yeah. I think I think it's easier >> at this point. Everybody got it.

[00:06:46]>> Everybody agrees.

[00:06:48]>> Kind of like we all got it already.

[00:06:50]>> Again, I'm sure for you almost, guys, I'm almost sure for you maybe, but for you typic, right? There is an island, but it's not.

[00:06:58]>> There is an island. Okay. It's not paying attention. Okay. Sorry. Sorry.

[00:07:01]Our teacher.

[00:07:03]>> So the fourth question is can you describe the nature of your country? Is it like I don't know more green less green? Something like that.

[00:07:09]>> Warmer.

[00:07:10]>> If it's rain a lot forest if you see the sun often.

[00:07:15]>> Let's stick to the nature. Well there are forest and there is a sea. That's all I will say.

[00:07:20]>> Nice.

[00:07:22]>> Okay. Next one.

[00:07:23]>> Obvious. I will say just one thing.

[00:07:25]There's a there's lake but there's a big one.

[00:07:27]>> A big lake. Oh, that was that's why you said like a famous weekly. Wait, who?

[00:07:30]>> No, it was not.

[00:07:32]>> I'm confused now.

[00:07:33]>> Most famous in the world.

[00:07:35]>> Focus. You just said two SECONDS AGO TO HER.

[00:07:38]>> YOU SAID YOU JUST SAID two seconds ago.

[00:07:40]>> In my country, there is nature, but in the city, in the big city, not that much. Apart from the sea, because you know there's an island. Apart from the sea, not much. But in the other cities, a lot.

[00:07:50]>> In my country, we have like a small country and uh there's many like lake that I say and it's green. We have many lake and we have especially like one lake I told you >> the big one.

[00:07:59]>> The big one. Yeah.

[00:07:59]>> In my country the s part it's Mediterranean and the north part it's continental so it's more green huge forest but the so part is more Mediterranean so palm tree and so on.

[00:08:10]>> Mhm.

[00:08:10]>> Mhm.

[00:08:14]>> Oo I'm curious for this one right now. I don't know if I'm going to be able to pick any difference but I'm excited to see like you guys talk anyway. So last part. Can you guys briefly introduce yourselves in French starting from there?

[00:08:26]>> Hi Maxim.

[00:08:27]>> Hello.

[00:08:32]>> Nice to meet you. Or something like that.

[00:08:34]>> Nice to meet you.

[00:08:35]>> No, I know.

[00:08:40]>> I thought so. He looks very tall.

[00:08:44]>> Yeah.

[00:08:44]>> Name is amazing.

[00:08:45]>> Thank you.

[00:08:46]>> I got what he said.

[00:08:48]>> Yeah.

[00:08:50]You guys are so so happy. So funny.

[00:08:58]>> Student. She's students.

[00:09:00]>> Yeah, that sounded very different like to the other French accent. I don't know if that's right.

[00:09:06]>> I still feel the same for me. Like Yeah.

[00:09:08]Like >> I'm now more confused to be honest. But anyways. Okay. Next.

[00:09:15]>> I guess by accent. I know by the accent for sure. Oh, very nice accent.

[00:09:27]>> I have no idea what he said, but you sounded beautiful.

[00:09:30]>> I say you I hope you are all good.

[00:09:32]>> Ah, that's I hope you're good, too.

[00:09:35]>> Do you guys think you can tell for sure which countries you're from? No.

[00:09:39]>> Yes, >> one person.

[00:09:41]>> Just one. I think we all too.

[00:09:43]>> I think we all >> Do you feel like hearing each other's accent make it much easier for you to guess which country each one of you are from or does it make it harder?

[00:09:51]>> I think it could make it easier >> but like guessing the exact country is still hard for some people. For one person I know for sure because Yeah, I know for sure.

[00:10:03]>> I thought it would be like much more like a bigger difference. like at least you guys would be able to tell like oh that's such a specific tone or a specific like pronunciation over certain words. Do you think maybe if you said something longer maybe like talking about your favorite hobby or something like this >> maybe specific words because there's some words are different >> but then >> ah yes true also. Yeah. So to make it a little bit more easy, can you guys speak about your hobbies in French? Basically >> a for a little longer so that you guys can like that word.

[00:10:32]>> My hobbies.

[00:10:43]He's a sportsy girl.

[00:10:44]>> Yeah. Sorry. From time to time.

[00:10:55]And she cannot do notation in Korea because it's difficult.

[00:10:58]>> Got it. You understood much more than I did. Any guesses? Yes. How about you three? No. No idea. Were there anything like specific that she said that it could be like >> No, but >> you don't say that.

[00:11:07]>> I could feel I'm not sure, but I could feel an accent.

[00:11:09]>> An accent >> from your country. A little bit.

[00:11:12]>> Okay. Okay. Okay.

[00:11:12]>> Very little.

[00:11:20]jazz contemporary and and he's a machine of dancing.

[00:11:30]Hip hop.

[00:11:35]Okay, guys. Any guesses? Yes.

[00:11:38]>> Is it easy for you to know? Really? I'm supposing you three might be like from a similar continent and you two from another one or like you two from one in one like two separate ones like we have three different continents here.

[00:11:48]>> If I have to guess all of them are French French >> even I could tell the difference >> really I cannot >> it's the same same vibes. My reason for that is because my my cousin studied in Belgium so like and then later in French so like in France so she told me a few differences but that's the only thing that I'm like >> that does not sound I don't know.

[00:12:10]Okay.

[00:12:23]Photography. There's karaoke.

[00:12:26]I forgot most of what you said though.

[00:12:28]Okay. Do you guys have any beats?

[00:12:29]>> No. It's difficult for your >> Yeah, I don't know.

[00:12:32]>> Really? I gave it away. Would you say your country is obvious to guess?

[00:12:35]>> Not that much.

[00:12:38]music.

[00:12:44]>> He gave you nothing. I mean, that was nothing. Okay. I think we are in the same part of our continent.

[00:12:51]>> I think so. I >> It's a big intro.

[00:12:53]>> I got an accent, but I'm not really sure which one.

[00:12:56]>> I think I know. I saw your country >> because you say it's famous for lake.

[00:13:00]So, >> but like based on the accent, can you guess?

[00:13:02]>> Ah, based on the accent >> or like work, >> you could be French or >> That's very interesting though. So I thought there would be a bigger difference and music >> and motor bike >> and motorbikers.

[00:13:18]>> You understand so much more than I do. I wonder if it's because of our languages.

[00:13:21]>> Mercy.

[00:13:23]>> Would you say that now you can pinpoint each one of your countries overall or not? Really?

[00:13:28]>> Yes. I think I I can.

[00:13:29]>> He's so confident.

[00:13:30]>> He's so confident. Yeah, I know, right?

[00:13:32]>> But I think I can.

[00:13:33]>> Everybody.

[00:13:34]>> No, not everybody. Not for you.

[00:13:35]>> Yeah, obviously. Okay. So, I heard that there's a difference between like how you actually say numbers, but I'm not I wouldn't be able to pinpoint like which country says which ways cuz French is very specific when counting. We most of Latin languages we say like normal numbers. We have norm different names.

[00:13:53]While I know that some countries that speak French, you guys just make some crazy math.

[00:13:56]>> Yeah. You have to listen like >> like 40 * 2 or 20 * 2 + 40 something like that. So, I want you guys to pronounce two numbers in your own ways.

[00:14:07]Okay? And the numbers are 70 and 90.

[00:14:10]>> Okay?

[00:14:12]>> Okay. So, he's the math crazy.

[00:14:18]>> They say the same way. Wait, >> they're closer to us. I knew it. Okay.

[00:14:25]>> Thank you. You two. Thank you so much.

[00:14:29]>> That's the right way.

[00:14:31]>> We are same.

[00:14:34]Where do you guys think she's from? 3, two, one.

[00:14:37]>> Belgium.

[00:14:38]>> Belgium.

[00:14:39]>> Are you from Belgium?

[00:14:40]>> YEAH.

[00:14:43]>> I didn't even say French fries and waffles and stuff like that.

[00:14:48]>> Where do you think he's from?

[00:14:50]>> Three, two, one.

[00:14:52]>> Switzerland.

[00:14:54]>> THE TWO OF THEM. THEY WERE LIKE, "NO IDEA."

[00:14:56]>> Are you from Switzerland?

[00:14:57]>> Yeah, Switzerland.

[00:14:58]>> Okay. Oh, wow.

[00:14:59]>> There you go. What What gave it away?

[00:15:01]numbers.

[00:15:02]>> The numbers and some some word they say.

[00:15:04]>> Oh, okay. I wouldn't catch that.

[00:15:07]>> Don't worry. Me too. I failed already.

[00:15:09]The first one >> like in my brain was other country and the second one I thought you I thought you were from Belgium actually.

[00:15:15]>> Me?

[00:15:15]>> No, him.

[00:15:16]>> Oh, he really?

[00:15:17]>> Oh, I thought you were from Belgium, but I didn't know that in Switzerland you also said the the the 70 and 90 similar to us. So, I was like, "Okay, where do you think she's from?" Three, two, one.

[00:15:28]>> Nobody's answering.

[00:15:29]>> Sineagar.

[00:15:29]>> Gabon.

[00:15:30]>> I thought G Wait, wait. I mean, I know Gina. I mean, I'm not sure. I just saw it in Laamya Mark. He was eating like peanut butter or something. His mom is from Gina.

[00:15:38]>> Country next to Gina. Maybe it's the is a country next to Gina. Or maybe it's Gina. I don't know, but I don't think so.

[00:16:34]>> Bundi.

[00:16:34]>> She guessed. Burundi.

[00:16:35]>> Burundi.

[00:16:36]>> Burundi. Yeah. Right.

[00:16:39]>> If I didn't guess this right, my mom would kill me. She's the random. She's from Randa. If I didn't get this one, she would kill me. I thought that the lake was, you know, close to Nishair, but I guess not. But apart from that and also the accent actually because I really thought we were from the same part of Africa because Sagal is in West Africa and Burundi is in east but I with the accent I thought he was from West Africa too but I guess not.

[00:17:03]>> H it's the lake Tanganika. Yeah. Beans beans and rice.

[00:17:33]>> Um, yeah, I think so. BECAUSE NOBODY GOT NOBODY GOT IT, RIGHT?

[00:17:39]>> Just because in East Africa, we are the only country that we speak French.

[00:17:43]>> Okay. I didn't know that.

[00:17:45]>> Why? I didn't know. I thought Burundi spoke English. I mean they used to but not anymore.

[00:17:50]>> You guys only speak French.

[00:17:51]>> They changed since maybe >> a long time ago. Long time ago.

[00:17:54]>> But I was thinking because some people speak French in Rwanda. You could from because they have also famous lake I guess in Ronda if I remember well. So but anyway >> I have to run around the world. Need to explore more.

[00:18:04]>> We need money for that.
