Language Review: English - Zweisprachige Untertitel
Howdy partner, today I'm gonna be reviewing the English language, AKA colonizer language, American, McDonald's language, Liberian, or Bidenese.
No need for a long intro, you all know what this series is about at this point.
I'm gonna discuss what is good and what is bad about the English language from a language
learning perspective and then I'll give it an official language-simped certified rating on the simp scale.
So without further ado, let's begin.
English?
Isn't that just the default spawn language that everyone starts with?
No, we speak English because we spawned in America.
I know it's hard as an American, but you've got to remember that other countries exist.
What's a country?
But English is the most spoken language in the universe,
as over 1.4 billion NPCs speak it just on Earth alone, which means that learning it will unlock an unfathomable amount of DLC.
And that's because, for a few hundred years, the British Empire did a steamy number two on most countries.
They colonize everyone which caused the English language to spread like a virus way outside of England's embarrassingly small modern day borders.
And a days the virus continues to spread because out of the rubble of colonization came the most gigachad country in the entire world,
the United States of Global Interventionism I mean America.
Everyone loves America and the American government.
So English is now widely studied all around the world, even in North Korea.
In 2024, English is THE global language, so if you don't speak English at a conversational level, society considers you a beta male.
You won't find a job, you won't get a girl.
Or a guy.
You'll never leave your country because you can't travel and you can never enjoy my little
pony in its original language if you don't speak English.
As a passionate language learner myself, I actually hate that English has become the global language.
Back in the day,
if you wanted to go to Spain,
you had to learn Mexican and if you wanted to go to Arizona,
you had to learn Now if you just know English, you go everywhere.
Most people are forced to learn the language in school, which strips the fun out of it for them.
Unlike with other languages,
no one learns English for fun, or because they like how it sounds, or because a certain English-speaking country fascinates them.
It's always school this, work that, blah blah, chop out of school and quit your job.
Due to the spread of this linguistic virus,
some the countries with the most speakers of English as a second language include Bollywood land, Lollywood land, and Nollywood land.
And there are a lot of people,
including me,
who are living life on easy mode recruit difficulty as native English speakers,
since we happened to spawn in one of the 19 majority native English speakers.
speaking countries.
The notable of which is Belize.
Just kidding, I only just found out that place existed 10 minutes ago, but they speak English.
But I don't know, who really cares.
It's time to get down and dirty and talk about the big dogs and their iconic accents.
Americans speak standard, normal English, and they sound sophisticated and intelligent.
In fact, the accent is so sophisticated that it takes up too much space in American's brains, and that's why they can't learn other languages.
American English is iconic.
It's the accent of pop music, Hollywood, and Fox News.
But there are a lot of different types of accents in different regions of America.
People from the south sound friendly,
hospitable, and Republican people from California all sound like surfer dudes like they're totally
tubular bro people from Minnesota sound a little too Canadian for my taste and people
on the weekend is not going to be dirty but they think product and I'm crowded so yeah
there's a lot of diversity in the US now moving on to England I recently went there and I can
tell you that it's a country full of depression weather and depressing food, which depressed me.
Y'all probably know that a few months ago,
I took a break from YouTube, and that's because I wasn't taking care of my mental health.
I'm sure y'all can agree that it's really hard to learn languages when you have a bad mentality,
but ever since I started doing therapy, my life has been dramatically better.
I'm much more equipped to handle anxiety and stress,
and I feel an inner peace that will allow me to learn every single language on the planet.
And that's why I'm passionate and proud to say that this video is sponsored by BetterHelp.

off your first month of thi- Okay, now let's talk about England.
I don't hate British accents, but I just wish everyone would stop acting like every Brit speaks in an incredibly elegant and luxurious way.
There are two main accents in British English,
that of the pretentious, posh, rich, and folk who think it's cool to larp as wizard royalty and that of the roadman.
A lot of people think that the posh RP,
or pronunciation spoken by the BBC, is the most comprehensible accent in English, but it's actually the scouse accent in Liverpool.
And then people from Birmingham are renowned for sounding amazing, beautiful, and poetic.
Moving on to Discount America or Canada as they like to it.
Canadians just sound American except with a little twang and they add A to the end of all their sentences,
which makes them sound really insecure.
They're so insecure that if you hit a Canadian with your car,
he'll say,
I'm sorry buddy,
my buddy hit your nice automobile A,
could I give you a Tony so you could pop on by the Timmy's and get yourself a double-double-bud?
Australian sound lot like if British people reproduced with cowboys from Texas and I really like that.
It badass, wild, flavorful cute.
Australians to say the word oi oi oi oi oi.
It kind of reminds me of a seagull.
In general, the more offensive an Australian sounds to you, the nicer they're actually being in reality.
If an Australian sounds to you, polite and reserved, they probably hate you.
Then there's a bunch of empty water to the southeast of Australia where a few people might speak English, but uh, probably not.
Now it's time to talk about the writing system.
The English language is written in the standard American alphabet,
which made up of 26 beautiful and iconic letters that look normal and make life worth less.
living.
Most other languages either use or steal from this alphabet in some way, and it's obvious why.
There are no scary characters, like look at the Russian D, and then look at the American D.
Which letter would you rather your daughter dated?
There are no complicated works of art, like look at this Chinese character, you have to pick your pen up off the paper 58 times.
in order to draw it.
On the other hand, every single English letter can be written in a maximum of three elegant strokes.
The only potential problem is that so many of these letters have multiple pronunciations
and there are groups of letters that make unique sounds and groups of letters that make the same sounds as individual letters.
It just makes no sense.
This word should definitely be said as rugheh.
Why does the GH make an F sound in the word rough?
And why on earth does the O make an I sound in the word women?
And if you combine all the spelling quirks, you could theoretically write the word potato like this.
And English words are screwed up too.
This language has the most bat shit dictionary.
I've ever seen.
And because English is a mutt, as 80% of its vocab are loan words from other languages.
That's insane!
What even is English?
It's just a bunch of other languages.
It's not real.
English technically a Germanic language, but I think it should be called a romance language.
As 29% of the words come from Latin, And another 29% of the words come from French, which also came from Latin!
I'm a Latino!
Another 26%
of the words do have Germanic roots,
and all of these words sound super strong and masculine, especially when compared to the soft and feminine nature of the Latin words.
The book sounds so aggressive and powerful, while the word...
The novel so wimpy.
You ask a question like a Chad, or you could inquire about something like a beta male.
And all of the useless and irrelevant words like democracy and anatomy come from Greek.
While all of the useful and relevant words like loot, thug, bandana, and mogul come from do.
But there are still some words that are pure and unique to English, mainly the slang.
Slaying originating from English that is used so frequently throughout the world is often taken for granted.
Like, could you imagine speaking any language without using words like riz, skibity, phantom tech, sus, busson, and cap?
And English acronyms are some of the most iconic things in the observable universe.
How beautiful are acronyms like IDK, BRB, BBW, TTYL, and And knows what LOL is.
I've seen people use it and even say LUL out loud both in French and Russian.
But they don't sound like native English speakers when they say it out loud.
because this language is pretty impossible to pronounce correctly.
There are a few sounds that foreigners struggle to make, one of them being the T-H sound like in the word thick.
And words with T-H are exceptionally hard.
In English,
learners' worst nightmares to be chained to the wall in my garage and only released when they can properly distinguish between and
pronounce the words tough thought though through and thorough.
Then there's the dreaded R sound, which the Brits and Australians couldn't pronounce if their lives depended on it.
Let's see if you can pronounce it.
Look at this little guy.
Isn't he cute?
Say his name.
No, that's not it.
Just say it.
It's a squirrel.
It's a squirrel, God.
And what is this?
Say it, say it, don't spray it, there's no TH in it.
It's rural!
It's rural!
How a- F***!
And so many words are spelled completely differently to how they're pronounced, so good luck with words like kernel, cupboard, and ketchup.
Fortunately, English grammar is not actually all that bad.
The words all identify as non-binary, which means that there are no crayons.
cringe, unnecessary grammatical genders.
The only articles you gotta know are the and ah, and sometimes Ann, if the word after it starts with a vowel sound.
There are also no grammatical cases,
so words stay the same, unless you're pluralizing them in which case you'll either add an S or an E S.
Except for a few stupid words like fish.
Fish is the same for both singular and plural, and hate it.
The plural should be fishts.
The pronouns are pretty straightforward, there's I, we, you, he, she, it, they singular, and they plural.
And thankfully, there's no informal formal distinction as there are in similar languages.
Thou used to be the informal version of you that you'd use with your friends,
and you used to be the formal version you'd use with your wife's boyfriend's dad.
But we got rid of thou, so nowadays you can address everyone you come across with the pronoun you.
The real fun comes when you're addressing multiple people.
You could just say you or you all, but there are several cooler variations like y'all use and in my home state of Pennsylvania.
The real grammatical nightmare for English learners are the phrasal verbs.
Us natives never even think about how little scents these make.
They're the verbs made up of multiple words that we use all the time, like bring in, give in, and take out.
The is a perfectly normal way to speak English, but I can't imagine a non-native understanding it.
Sorry to butt in but you're screwing up don't scarf down your food.
You'll throw up.
I'm cracking down in you, bro You need to squirrel it away.
I'm sizing you up man.
You need to man up and beef up Don't chicken out clam up or flip out the base conjugations of normal verbs aren't too bad though
Everything's basically the same except you add an s or es to the end of the he she and it conjugation The tenses,
though, can get a little kooky.
We a lot of auxiliary verbs in our conjugations, mainly will, have, and do.
I will survive, I have survived, I do survive.
But the kooky part comes in when you have to combine these auxiliary verbs.
I have survived, or I will done, but had been done surviving.
So themselves never really change much.
But tragically,
there are about 200 irregular verbs in English,
but most of them are really common so you'll learn them fast, like to do, to go, and to breed.
Now it's time to talk about shock factor.
How will native English speakers react to you speaking their language as a foreigner?
The truth is- And really depends on who you're speaking to.
If speak English to an American, they're not going to be surprised at all.
Americans know how much effort it takes to learn a language so they won't care.
They expect everyone to speak English already.
Natives from Australia,
as well as the empty void off the coast of Australia,
will be pleased with your efforts,
but they still won't react much English has the smallest shock factor out of any language in the solar system if you
learn Chinese Chinese people will do triple backflips if you learn Spanish Brazilians will cook
utakos heck even if you learn German Germans will at least appreciate you but no you're expected to speak English in 2020.
which is sad.
Imagine beautiful the world would be if the British Empire had never happened.
There's so much linguistic beauty out there in the world,
but English unfortunately alphamoggs all the competition and as a native English speaker that makes my life Really easy, can you imagine?
Now it's time to give English an official language simp certified rating on the simp scale.
On a scale of dog water to gigachad, I place English tragically in...
the dog water tier.
English is beautiful and every English-speaking country is really cool and unique, minus England.
But I really hate the fact that English has a monopoly on the language learning market.
Everyone is forced to invest in English so it's hard to diversify your portfolio with other languages and that just really
ruins the appeal for me.
I think the world would be a much better place if English were a dead language like Dutch.
Yeah, it will help you find a job.
life, but we don't learn languages for self-improvement.
We learn languages to shock natives, record them without their permission, and post it to YouTube.
So if I wasn't a native speaker, I'd choose to be a Sigma male, and I'd refuse to ever even study English.
