They wouldn't need to learn it from Duolingo if Swedish people spoke Swedish instead of speaking English with immigrants.

​@@bayramcigel8121, English is a language more likely to be spoken by immigrants, so they probably use it as the default language because that way they can understand it. Duolingo is used to learn and complement the learning process without the need to attend Swedish classes.

I'm swedish and even I've had swedish on duolingo. It is to be able to learn English by taking our own language.

@@Birch-mm9cp um how

Did you know that In 1914 and 1939 Europe ranked first among non-violent continents.

Also don’t forgot about Rome, napoleon, the Holy Roman Empire, the Vikings, the Soviet Union, and so much more

​@@user-wc2dv7pb3gblud forgot we dont live in the past

LOL both the World wars originated in Europe

This comment is triggering me because I live in Oceania. Oceania is a region in the South Pacific Ocean, not a continent. The continent you'd be after is either Australia or Zealandia, the latter of which is almost entirely submerged.

i think its decently accurate

yeah like japan in 14:48 the US still views japan as “reconsider to travel” that was 4 years ago during the pandemic. plus the percentage of starvation in japan in 2003 has similar level to other second world countries?! how's that even possible to a country that is already the most richest, developed, livable country and one of the lowest poverty rates at that time 💀

​@@user_banned74as you may know height is mostly dependant on the quality of diet and nutrition, thus developed countries having taller people there as higher quality diets and nutrition is more available. As proof the younger generation of the most developed parts of China is well in becoming taller than the average American unlike in parts that are undeveloped. But Japan has pretty much the same height for decades while being one of the most wealthiest countries in the world. It is due to the fact that Japan vehemently hates fat people with a few exceptions. They hate it so much that they view fat/chubby kids ugly and undesirable(ever seen anime where there's a fat kid they're always ugly/snotty/spoiled brats), purposely starve kids to maintain a petite look to them and making them malnutritished and stunting their growth compared to their neighbours. Along with them still eating as if it's still post war it is easy to see starving is comparable to second world countries.

U.S.centric

@@sweetbottom6018 south Korea "good" North Korea "bad". Very accurate, much trust

Sure. To be specific, it is one of the 5 Theravara Buddhist countries in the world. I'm from Myanmar.

Yes I saw that, and was shocked because Sri Lanka is the first Theravada buddhist country

Yeah also in most Christianity is a declining religion and most Christians aren't as religious as others.. so it may seem big on map and numbers but those are old figures

Also there is right driving side in Sri Lanka for some reason

No 😂😂 because swedish is a tough language

yeah i belive you are right i meet some sweedish guy and girl they speeking english better than most of americans its kind a funny and weird to how can suck your own languge?

PRECISELY

@@jaishree701no Swedish is not a tough language at all, and the reason is literally due to immigrants

@@samOO-wx6mc you can disagree but I said truth swedish and Finnish is tough language And there is already less immigration to china & japan yoir point of immigration is half correct

Yes, it show that the author doesn't think too much making these videos. 0.8 square meter for one person? What was he thinking?

😂i had one

​@@godq3skyscraper

Immigrants from sweden are learning swedish

Sweden has a LOT of immigrants from mideastern countries

Same thing with south america

They don't just consider wars, racism and genocide. It's also natural disasters, crime rates, homicide rates, language adaptability, and more.

98% of countries have dangerous and safe places. And let's face it, those who eanrs in dollars or euros, have the power to choose the best places in most countries. I know because I'm renting to a lot of gringos now during the season.

The map is outdated. Japan is currently a 1. A lot of the countries got temporarily skewed because of Covid

Same with Spain

Lol did u learn this while playing duolingo? Cuz I did 🤣 they love flexing about how most swedish learn swedish for some reason 😶

Many European countries received a large number of refugees. But I suppose more of them in Sweden turn to Duolingo because most Swedes speak pretty good English and there's not much opportunity to practice it in daily lives.

@@hello855 yeah you’re probably right

In europe and south africa many people are blonde too

I guess it's just the growing anti-Japan mindset. More and more people talks more and more negatively about Japan nowadays, without any legit reason.

and how is saudi arabia in the reconsider category? its one of the most safest destinations in the world.

I think it's because Japan experiences so many natural disasters.

It's outdated data from the pandemic. Japan wasn't even open to travellers during those times.

it’s not JUST over crime, it counts everything like natural disasters, tensions, threat of wars and more.

It's more to do with standard of living, states with better standard of living are better than the rest of India as when it comes to height. Kashmir , Kerala, Haryana and Punjab have highest average height , on the other hand Bihar, Jarkhand ,Odissa are some of the shortest.

shut up, height has nothing to do with standard of living, its totally genetics. @@ashwinvk4124

​@@ashwinvk4124 Eastern region( odisha, bengal, bihar, jharkhand, assam)average height is about 5'4 💀. I'm 5'8.5'' and I'm considered tall in this region.

many maps show them bad , some data issues

There are many serious mistakes in this video even if overall is quite good. For ex. The map of democracy index luxembourg is red and also hungary which is not true, iv checked their index on google it are quite good There are other mistakes for sure.

Yh i also searched it

Yeeeeah, wanted to write about that too!

But it IS really crowded and densely populated tho

@@Agent-ie3uv Well, yeah, because 800 square meters is only 40x20 meters. That's what I said. But 0.8 square meters per person is not a densely populated country, that's a mosh pit with a little extra elbow room. Even Dungeons and Dragons characters in combat get 2.25 square meters all to themselves. A place like the Gaza strip is a lot more densely populated, but that's basically one metropolitan area, not a large country.

@@Agent-ie3uv it's only crowded in Dhaka (capital) and Chittagong (port city), rest of Bangladesh is mostly full of large fields and rivers.

when you sees japan (already one of the most developed, richest, livable and one of the lowest poverty rates at that time) but has similar level to other second world percentage of starvation but not the first world: dude seriously this video is probably made by 10 years old 💀💀💀

it actually was better in 2003

agree. this is too subjective, obviously this map is made in favor of Western countries

The Western countries are far less corrupted than countries in the east. Only mistake I saw was that china should be more corrupted

in what way? most of the corrupt countries were dictatorships. Additionally these are stats not opinions the countries with the most known corruption are shown with the most corruption. I am sorry if you feel attacked because your country did poorly but insinuating the video is lying because you don't like what it showed is the hilarious part.

@@andywelsh5050 exactly 💯

@@andywelsh5050 the hilarious part is the massive pro Western bloc bias, I'm not saying the countries that were flagged as corrupt are not, I'm saying that the multiple absurdly corrupt countries were flagged as "good" and even "great" simply by virtue of being a part of Western bloc And frankly it is not the only comedically unaccurate map on the list, like, Angola is "safe" but Japan is "reconsider traveling"?

Greetings from Paraguay 👋🏻 The perception of corruption in the United States may seem less prevalent to its citizens, but for countries like Paraguay, the effects of American corruption are more pronounced and consequential. The United States’ involvement in Latin America during the Cold War, particularly through Operation Condor, had profound implications for the political landscape of the region, including Paraguay. Operation Condor was a campaign of political repression and state terrorism implemented in the 1970s and 1980s by the dictatorships of the Southern Cone of South America, which was backed by the United States. This operation facilitated the coordination of intelligence and security operations across borders, allowing for the systematic persecution of political opponents, which included kidnappings, torture, and assassinations. In Paraguay, this external support bolstered the dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner, who maintained a repressive regime for 35 years. The backing of the United States, under the guise of preventing the spread of communism, contributed to the undermining of democratic institutions and the rule of law in Paraguay. The legacy of this interference has had lasting effects, contributing to the challenges of corruption and institutional weakness that the country continues to face today. Ironically, the U.S. has recently imposed sanctions on significant figures within Paraguay’s ruling party for corruption and links to terrorism, highlighting the international reach of such issues. Former President Horacio Cartes (who is in practice the current dictator in Paraguay) and current Vice President Hugo Velázquez have faced accusations of ‘rampant corruption’ and ties to terrorist groups, with allegations of bribing party members and legislators, and leveraging influence over Paraguayan institutions for personal gain. These actions not only undermine democratic institutions in Paraguay but also contribute to a global perception of corruption that transcends borders. It’s a stark reminder that corruption is indeed a day-to-day reality, often conducted behind closed doors and with far-reaching impacts.

I guess it's just the growing anti-Japan mindset. More and more people talks more and more negatively about Japan nowadays, without any legit reason.

I have no idea what the US advisory people are smoking, but it must be some powerful stuff. Anyway, nobody takes their map seriously. It looks totally random.

it was a map made during the pandemic. It makes sense why a country such as Japan which is densely populated is worse to travel to in a pandemic then a random not dense country

Cause democracy is a joke

The royal family doesn't have a political career in the UK, but they have a certain degree of administration over my country 🇯🇲

It’s a constitutional monarchy, not an absolute one or anything near that

The monarch doesn’t do anything, that’s why.

Brit here, the King has zero actual say in politics. It's all decided by elections. Basically the only things the King can actually do that the PM can't are appoint a new PM after an election (has always been from the most popular party), declare war (hasn't happened since WW2), and give royal assent to the passing of laws (which has never not been given).
