    i think the french girl knew all of them , she spoke very good english and seemed to know all the words and spelling but gave the rest a chance too :)
  • @avsambart
    Actually Takuto wasn't bad in the telephone game, I think a fluent person would understand him with no problem.

    The Japanese guy who doesn't know English but he tries to do the best he can in the game. Well done
  • @eggsandwhichian
    i feel bad for the quiet guy. bro was trying his best, other guy was kinda being rude. but they all looked like they had fun
  • i was rooting for the japanese guy because he seems to know the least english but he is surprisingly good at pronunciation
  • Not me realizing how hard the English language actually is while watching this lol
  • @Jeeeehhh
    Takuto did so well!!! I'm proud 💖 Also, Haruto was so funny while being stressed over the telephone level part of the game lmao
  • I love Haruto's sass and Takuto's bright, innocent eyes are so adorable! TOZ fighting!!

    The fact that it went from “can i go to the bathroom😄” to “she sells sea shells by the seashore” in 1 round 😭
  • I don't know them but "I will do my best :3" broke my heart, someone give him a hug right now 😭😭😭

    This video shows a very interesting phenomenon in language learning: Japan and many other countries in (Eastern) Asia focus almost entirely on spelling and some reading. You don't usually say anything in class (in your target language) and listening practice is hardly ever done either. So they are often very competent at spelling things or gathering meaning from text, but barely able to express themselves verbally or understand other speakers. They often tend to learn formulaic phrases by heart (whole sentences or at least sentence elements like phrases). So when something only roughly fits their situation, they can have trouble changing the details of what they're saying to truly fit their situation. You may find a Japanese learner of English who has studied the language for ten years and can express himself flawlessly in work emails about highly technical and complicated topics, but struggles to do something as basic verbally as ordering at a restaurant. Most (Central) European countries on the other hand choose a more well-rounded approach with a stronger focus on communication. You can easily find first-year learners of English who will already have had enough practice in speaking and listening to carry on a (simple) conversation with someone. School typically teach in the target language from the start, so you may walk into your first ever English class in a German school and the teacher will communicate exclusively in English. Their learners' vocabulary is usually less deep and much broader, meaning that they know fewer words over all but can generally choose the best words for their specific situation, making communication, especially rapid spontaneous production of verbal output, fairly easy. You may find a German learner of English who has studied the language for ten years, can hold a verbal conversation about everyday topics at a level near-indistinguishable from a native speaker (accents notwithstanding) but will struggle to write a text on very specialised technical topics.

    0:43 "I think he's going to ruin this game but okay" did no one else get a weird vibe from that? didn't even let takuto try and his pronunciation ended up being fine😭 idk if its just me, no one else is commenting on it
  • @koukakouta
    Takuto is so precious 🥺 I'm so glad he has Hart with him to help him out
  • As an american who is a native english speaker, i always thought english was the easiest language the speak. Well, i’m realizing that english can be just as difficult for non-native english speakers as it is for non-english languages can be for native english speakers.

    The Spanish and Italian lady struggled a lot here. Honestly I thought the guy takuto did a really good job. But he kept getting called out by that sassy fella...the French girl sounded like English was her native tongue to be fair. But this was entertaining to watch. I hope the boy in the sweatshirt learns English because he can do it! ❤ Love from India
  • @jliu4278
    Actually takuto did a good job. He really copied and pasted well what he heard 😊
  • @phrhann
    Okay but Haruto is such a Youtuber, he should defo have his own YouTube channel haha💙 and Takuto is really sweet and tried his best, I'm proud of himmm TOZ fighting!!
  • Takuto did the second one perfectly. That tongue twister is difficult but he pronounced it verbatim the first time he relayed it. He was falsely accused of messing it up he did great overall!😭
