Eastern VS Western Tongue Twisters Challenge!!

The funny thing about the Swedish tongue twister is that it’s only hard for foreigners because of the very Scandinavian sounds. It’s super easy for swedes to pronounce. If you want something that trips swedes up, say “sex laxar i en laxask” (literally “six salmon in a salmon box”). It is hard because is combines k-sound and s-sound with sometimes one being first and sometimes the other.

As a swede it's nice hearing people tryna pronounce the "sj/sk" sound

sj & sk must be super hard for foreigners to learn, sj is pronounced like the wind blowing outside haha, SK can sometimes be pronounced hard like SKata/SKola or make the same wind blowing sound like in sj, sköta.

The words (Swedish): Sju sjösjuka sjömän sköttes av sjuttiosju sköna sjuksköterskor på det sjunkande skeppet Shanghai.
The words (English): Seven seasick sailors were cared for by seventy-seven beautiful nurses on the sinking ship Shanghai.
För er som är svenskar, tycker ni att det är svårt? 🤭/For those who are Swedish, do you think it’s difficult? 🤭

Hi from Sweden

as a Finnish who was forced to learn Swedish at school i have to confess I always thought sju is said "shu" and not "hu"

I now Sweden I kom from Sweden I now how he said hi he said Hej jag heter Pim Jag är en tjej

The France guy is so cute 😊

the swedish woman is so pale she is almost blending in white the white background lol

HOSEUNG❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Sverige🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪👍👍👍👍jag älskat

the hard one is swedish because sju its so hard on the prononciation;the korean not so hard because i have been learned how to prononce the alphabet;chinese the same thing with korean;the thai not to much hard so easy;the frensh i can say it more then 3 times because i am from morocco and frensh its the second language we use in morocco💝

The Swedish and French were both very easy for me since I speak Swedish and I’m learning french in school

Like swedish is a weird language its like with the pronunciation of the words are weird like "sj" is pronounced "hu". "Köra" is pronounced "shöra". 😕

They're doing pretty good reading Swedish :P

At 11.22 Temmie's expression change is hilarious HAHAHA

The Swedish omg🤣😂

jätte svårt!!!

I really felt when they said "fhad pag fak fak"

Ällö äyriäinen löi kärpästä ällikällä, just so you know.

What a wholesome video

There’s a famous danish tongue twister, not for Danes, but for foreigners learning our language. It’s “rødgrød med fløde” which uses phonetic sounds of the “d” which are unique to the language. It was so difficult, that during WW2, it was used to spot nazi spy’s in Denmark as they would force them to pronounce the phrase, something only someone who grew up in Denmark would be able to pronounce.

Would love to see them all try out some of the danish once 😂 especially those with æ ø å 😂

As i korean this was very funny

Typiskt djävulskt västkustskt kvistfritt kvastskaft.

I'm impressed by the french guy trying the swedish phrase. Had he known about the sj- and sk sounds hed pretty much nailed it.

Next time I wanna see them do "sex laxar i en laxask", which is one that's actually hard for natives too.

As a swede, from what i've heard, the hardeat single word to pronounce in swedish is supposedly "Västkustskt" - however I dont really have a reliable source outside of "trust me bro"

when you read it its easier then when you hear it.

I don't know why but I love seeing people struggle with "sj" sound

Kom igen, det finns så många fler sätt att uttala den svenska meningen. Kolla in Njurunda och mitten av Gotland, helt olika ;-)

As a Swede: pain.

Me knows 3 of the languages 😂😂😂😂

That's some russian for u

As a Swede that studies French in school I can say that I would be horrible at the eastern tongue twisters

The swedish one made me laugh so hard!!

I'd be a lot more interested in hearing them repeat it after at least hearing it. This didn't really do anything.
This isn't doing tongue twisters, this is trying to read written text

sweden mentioned 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪

It's so much fun to watch people try to pronounce swedish. It's like they're having a tiny aneurysm 🤣

as a swede this was so funny

the chinese chick trying to talk swedish sounds like a dane who tries to speak swedish haha :D

The French guy actually pronounced the sentence close to what it would've sounded like 600 years ago (had all the words existed then), as that was before the consonant clusters merged to form the modern sounds. Back then, "sk" would've been pronounced "s-k", like in English "skin", and "sj" would've been "s-j", akin to a posh English pronunciation of "suit" or "super" ("syoot", "syooper").

as a born swede, i have never been able to do that tongue twister, it is very difficult even to native speakers. pair that with ÅÄÖ and SJ and SK sounds its pretty much impossible for non native speakers.

Hej svensk and สวัสดีค่ะThailand

Sex laxar i en lax ask. Is a short one i sweden but still kinda hard.

About the swedish one, They were saying SJ is like SH, but it's not the same and we have SH too

SJ would almost be like mixing SK and SH start, the swedish girl in the video pronounced SJ very MILD.

It's not a completly UNIQE sound for sweden, but it's deffinetly not common in most languages.
Americans can never pronounce the SJ sound for example.

SJ could almost be it's own letter potentially, like Å,Ä,Ö but we'v settled for showing it with SJ.

As a half Swedish and half Thai I understood both
