South American Capitals. By the end of this video, I'll be able to name all 12 capitals of South America
0:04
At the minute, I think I know about three, so let's see how we get on. Enter the capital of Suriname. I have no idea
0:09
Brazil. I do know that one. I'm not sure if I know how to spell it. It's Brasilia. Is it like that? No. Is it like that? Is it like this
0:16
Okay. Is it with an S? I think it might be. It is. Many people think the capital of Brazil is Rio de Janeiro, but it is actually Brasilia
0:22
Spelled with an S, apparently. Okay, well, that's one. Capital of Chile. This is the other one that I know
0:26
It's Lima. Oh, apparently not. I was really confident on that one. Capital of Chile is Santiago
0:32
So what's the capital? Peru! The capital of Peru is Lima. Okay. All right, turns out I know two
0:38
So capital of Chile is Santiago. Everybody knows that. Capital of Peru, you see? It's Lima. There
0:43
you go. Capital of Guyana, I do not know. Argentina, I think is Buenos Aires, but I probably can't
0:49
spell it. Buenos Aires. It's like that. Yeah, it's got to be close. Okay, on this first attempt
0:55
I'm allowed to cheat because we're trying to learn them by the end of the video though I'll be able to do all 12 without cheating. Okay, Buenos Aires is spelled with the u and the e the other way around
1:04
That shouldn't be too difficult. So it's like this. There we go Ecuador. Oh, I've heard this one, but I cannot remember. I feel like it's Colombia or no
1:12
I'm being stupid. Let's just move on. What's the next one? Venezuela. I do not know Bolivia. No idea
1:18
Colombia. No idea. Why did I just name another country when trying to name the capital of Ecuador? Okay, Uruguay and Paraguay
1:23
Also don't know so we can get four and I even cheated on one of them
1:27
So these are the ones that I got wrong. Oh, Guyana is just Georgetown
1:31
That's quite an easy word to remember. That shouldn't be a problem. Suriname on the other hand
1:35
Paramaribo, that's gonna be tricky. Venezuela is Caracas, Ecuador is Quito, which I've never heard. Uruguay is Montevideo, Colombia is
1:44
Bogota, Bolivia is La Paz and Paraguay is Asuncion. Right, this is tricky but we've learned all the capitals of Europe and we've learned all the
1:51
capitals of Oceania and they have far more countries in them, but this hopefully won't take too long. Okay, the mnemonic I'm going to use to remember Uruguay as Montevideo
1:59
You are watching my video. Montevideo, my video, you, Uruguay. You get it? Ecuador is
2:06
quito Jack equals Ecuador equals That kind of sounds similar Equals wanting to quit trying to learn all of the capital cities Why are you making me do this We remember Guyana capital as a guy called George That should do it Suriname Paramaribo
2:20
I do not know how to remember that. I wish Paramaribo was Paraguay, so I'm not gonna lie
2:25
La Paz, Bolivia. I feel like I might just remember that. You know what? Let's replay and let's just see how we get on
2:30
Ecuador. That's Quito, thanks very much. Bolivia. That was La Paz, was it
2:34
Yes, look at us go. Brazil. Okay, it's Brasilia, but with an S. They, no, is that wrong
2:39
Is it IA? Yes, it is. Chile, Santiago, yeah? I can't believe it's not Lima
2:44
I was so confident on that. Santiago, there you go. Uruguay, Montevideo
2:49
Is this video even gonna get to eight minutes? Colombia, I don't think I learned anything for that one yet
2:53
so I'll just skip it. Paraguay, it was like Ascension or something similar, but I can't quite remember it
2:57
Venezuela, okay, things have gone downhill. Buenos Aires, here we go. Buenos Aires, there you are
3:04
Guyana, guy called George, Georgetown, here we go. Suriname, oh it was uh, it might come to me. It was Para. It reminded me of Paraguay. Para..
3:14
Oh, I can't remember. Yeah, it was Para something though. Peru, that is Lima. Everybody knows that and
3:20
Colombia was something like Arrakis or something. Arrakis. A-carus. A-carus. Was it that? No. It was something close though. Okay, well we've just named eight out of 12, which is almost all of them
3:31
So the ones that we forgot, Venezuela is Caracas. Okay, so close to that
3:36
Suriname, Parasomething, Paramarabo And Paraguay, I said Ascension And it's Ascension And then Colombia, I just completely forgot
3:44
It is Bogota Okay, to remember Venezuela as Caracas I'm thinking Maracas
3:49
Er, Kai, please put some Maracas in my hand, thank you How do I remember Paramarabo for Suriname
3:54
We'll remember it as Mr. Paramarabo has a really complicated surname Surname, Suriname
4:00
And Bogota, Colombia But I don't know, I'm really not sure how to remember that
4:04
So because of that, what I'm going to do is I'm going to try a slightly different quiz. I have two minutes to select the correct country for each of these capitals
4:10
And that is Bolivia for La Paz. Brazil for Brasilia. Montevideo is Uruguay
4:15
Haramarabo is Suriname. There you go. Georgetown. Everyone knows that. It's obviously a guy called George in Guyana
4:21
Buenos Aires is Argentina. We've got halfway so far. Quito is Ecuador
4:25
Santiago is Chile Bogota That the one I always forgot in Colombia Bogota Colombia There a similar number of O Maybe we remember that Asuncion It Paraguay I think
4:37
And Lima is Chile. Oh, no! That's so sad. Caracas is Venezuela
4:42
11 out of 12. Okay, I also want to learn how to pronounce Paraguay's capital
4:46
Spanish. Asuncion. Asuncion. Okay. Right, now I'm doing another quiz, but I've flipped it
4:51
So, we have the countries at the top. So, Peru would be Lima
4:55
There we go. Suriname is, can I get it without looking at it? It's Paramaribo or something like that
5:01
Paramaribo, yes. Bolivia is La Paz, there you go. Chile is Santiago. I'm doing this without looking
5:07
Guyana is Georgetown, there we go. Argentina, Buenos Aires. Ecuador is Quito. Uruguay is Montevideo
5:15
Paraguay is, oh no, Asunción, Asunción, there we go. Venezuela would be Caracas, Brazil
5:23
brasilia and then colombia is bogota nice this is our first hundred percent we are definitely
5:28
going to nail this by end the video now slightly more difficult because i have to type them out so
5:32
lima would be peru yes buenos aires is argentina but goes to colombia colombia paramaribo is
5:42
paraguay no it's not paraguay paramargo mr paramargo seranam there you go la paz is uh
5:49
bolivia bolivia there you go brazilia is brazil also i'm using a new keyboard by the way so my
5:54
typing's even worse than it normally is santiago is chile asuncion is
6:01
paraguay montevideo is uruguay there you go quito is ecuador ecuador georgetown is guiana
6:08
and caracas is venezuela venezuela okay now i'm trying to locate each of the countries that the
6:15
capitals are from so bagota would be colombia georgetown would be suriname uh i think this is
6:21
sir oh oh it's guyana that's why oh it's all gone wrong okay from the top bagota colombia la paz
6:28
bolivia caracas argentina asuncion paraguay paramaribo suriname montevideo uruguay brasilia Brazil, Lima, Peru, Santiago, Chile, Buenos Aires, Argentina
6:42
Quinto Ecuador Georgetown Guiana Guiana there you go Basically in order to get these things to stick into your head you just do many different kind of quizzes and it gets easier and easier Right we back to the OG quiz
6:53
We're going to leave the timer on four minutes and let's see if I can just name all of them without any prompts
6:57
So capital of Bolivia is La Paz, there you go. Capital of Peru is Lima, there we are
7:02
Guyana would be Georgetown, Georgetown. So keep in mind, I've not typed them all yet
7:07
Capital of Uruguay is Montevideo, there you go. Capital of Suriname is Paramaribo
7:13
There we go. Venezuela is Caracas. Yes. Capital of Paraguay is Asuncion
7:21
Asuncion. Oh, we got it. Capital of Colombia is Bogota. Yes. Capital of Chile is Santiago
7:28
Capital of Ecuador is, um, Quito. Quito. Capital of Brasilia is Brasilia
7:34
And finally, the capital of Argentina is Buenos Aires. Yes. And now finally just to confirm it's definitely in my head
7:42
Let's try and name the capitals and the countries in just three minutes. So that's 24 different answers
7:46
Okay enter a country or capital. Well, we'll do Brazil and we'll do Brasilia, please. Maybe we'll do Colombia and
7:53
Bogota, thank you. Maybe we'll do Venezuela and Caracas, Caracas, there you are and then Suriname and
8:03
Mr. Paro Maribo, Paro Maribo. What else can we do? We could do Guyana and
8:09
Georgetown. Thank you. Argentina and Buenos Aires and Lima with Peru. Santiago with Chile. There
8:20
you go. 16 to 24 in 45 seconds. Then we'll do Bolivia with La Paz and we shall also do Paraguay
8:28
with Asunción. No, no, no. It's like that, isn't it? There we go. Asunción. Okay. Oh
8:38
We have not done Uruguay. Uruguay and Montevideo. There you go. And then the last one, Ecuador
8:45
