    In the game linked below you have to listen to 20 seconds of people speaking a language and guess which language was spoken out of a few options. Personally i suck at it since i only know the english language and am not well informed on other countries and their languages :p It was still fun though despite me having to guess out of completely wrong ideas from stereotypes. There are a few spoken languages that i swear i have heard spoke different but thats language differences for ya :p I wouldn't even be able to guess properly if it was guess the accent of someone speaking ha. Least its still fun and not a waste of time like the time i played geoguesser with my crap geography knowledge and observation skills.

    Yea everytime i go to the site its slow to load but there is no other problem. It might crash though if nerdcubed's video gets more attention like the attention google feud got from youtube. Sidenote: Nerdcubed did great at this game in his video showcasing it. He got 400 points so yea... Here is the video for people who are crap at this and gave up getting a few lucky guesses and then getting 3 wrong one after another.


    Edit: Yea i have watched nerdcubed for years, cool to see another fan on this forum. It seems weird to me how some of Dan's fans associate the trending popularity rise of google feud to be a result of his video. Every youtuber played it so it got popular obviously :p One video of this game made by fan ain't gonna make it trend like google feud did like some of Dan's fans think it will.

    Scored 400

    I get the easiest one for my first try but only scored 200 for the second round.

    Damnit Telugu, Hindi, Portuguese, Norwegian and Hausa are bit hard to guess.

    I got 400 with one life left before I got tired. It was loading too slowly :p I personally don't think it was terribly hard, there were lots of times when even though I didn't know what the exact language is, I knew the "feel" of it so I could make a pretty educated guess. Like, for Russian, I knew it definitely wouldn't be any of the East Asian languages, probably not something like Arabic or French either... maybe German, but sounds more like Russian... you know, like that, you can kinda meander your way through.
