In this video, I'll be naming all 14 countries in Oceania
0:03
I'll be making sure I learn all 14 of their flags, and I'll also be learning how to locate them on a map
0:08
So, for example, Tonga is this fellow over here. Okay, starting off, let's just see if we can name them all
0:12
So, Australia to begin with, and then New Zealand. Now, the reason I'm doing this today is because this is the only content
0:17
that I've not made a dedicated video on. So, I can easily name all 49 countries in Asia and all 54 countries in Africa
0:23
but because I just rushed learning Oceania, it hasn't stuck in my head, so I reckon I'm probably know less than half of the flags
0:28
It's not great. But today we fixed that so we've also got papua new guinea and micronesia and solomon islands as well as the marshall islands
0:39
I want to try and see if I can remember these locations So we've got the two m's up at the top right and then what's this one
0:44
Is it palau? It is palau and then the big fella that's kirabas is it I think spelled kirabati there we go
0:52
We've also got fiji we can do that one and then there's still another five. What are these other ones
0:56
See, they're all just so obscure. We've got Tuvalu. We've got Naru. And, um..
1:01
Tuvalu, Naru, Vanuatu. Vanuatu. And then the final two are Samoa. We haven't done Samoa
1:10
Samoa and... What are you then? Hello? You're Tonga. Didn't I click you at the start of the video
1:15
Yes. Okay, good. Right, so you might be thinking, Nice, Jack. Well done. You don't need to learn them
1:19
Well, wait until I try and do the flags. Okay, so that one I do know. That is Fiji
1:23
And then that is... I don't know. I'll skip it for now that one. I do know as well. That's Tonga and that one. I can't remember cannot remember that one
1:32
That one is pull out. Yes, it is. Okay. We do know that one. That's Papua New Guinea. There we go
1:37
This one I think is Tuvalu. That's obviously Australia. That's Micronesia and then I don't know Solomon Islands
1:44
I want to try to try it. It's not oh dear dear dear
1:48
Okay, let's get the last one that we do know which is New Zealand But I don't care about as well
1:52
There we go. So now let's give up right we need to learn ways to remember them
1:57
So the way i'm gonna remember vanuatu is this like cool shell thing that they've got guess what
2:01
It's not a shell anymore. It's actually a round road What i'm gonna do is i'm gonna imagine a van on that road driving around the round road and guess what the van's doing
2:10
That's right. He's delivering xboxes Obviously and that because the center kind of looks like the xbox logo doesn it Boom that is in my memory now Okay solomon islands How are we gonna remember This is the solomon islands right I was gonna do a big highbrow answer about king solomon of israel being the 9th century king
2:27
And he was like one of the richest people ever and he likes gold So this is like a gold path, but you know, what's more likely to stick in my head stacy solomon
2:34
It's just a random celebrity in the uk. I think she was on x-factor or something now. She's on loose women
2:39
Is that right either way? She was on X Factor and these stars are kind of shaped like an X and also she's a star stars Solomon Islands
2:47
There we go right Nauru How am I remembering Nauru with this interesting little flag
2:51
So the one thing that I know about Nauru is I'm pretty sure that per capita
2:56
It's actually the fattest nation in the world, which is quite sad, isn't it
2:59
Basically, it's just because of the influence of Western culture coming over to the islands and the island being so small
3:05
That they just ran out of space to grow stuff themselves So basically everything that they eat is imported and imported things are things that don't go off for a while like crisps and chocolate bars and stuff
3:13
So this star i'm gonna remember as a fat star, which feels a bit mean
3:17
But i'm just trying to get it stuck in my head. Okay, right We need to remember republic of marshall islands and how am I doing that one? I don't know
3:23
This isn't very good, but it'll probably work So you see how we've got this like orange and then we've got the white underneath
3:29
We're gonna imagine the orange is marsh land, you know, like squelchy sand or something and the white is stone underneath the marshland
3:37
And then i'm gonna walk along it and my feet keep getting stuck in the orange marshy land of the marshall islands
3:43
Yep, there we go in my head finally samoa So the samoa flag looks quite a bit like the taiwan flag if I remember correctly
3:49
So let's imagine there's a fella called sam and he just absolutely loves taiwan so much
3:54
In fact that he made a flag that looked quite a bit like it just because he's a fan of the country
3:58
And he wanted to put it on his wall in his bedroom samoa. Okay, right. Let's do this
4:02
Oh look, it's samoa to begin with and then we've got solomon islands
4:06
Yes, I'm kind of remembering both King Solomon of Israel and Stacy Solomon in my head at this point
4:12
New Zealand, followed by Fiji, followed by Tonga, followed by Kiribati Side note, Kiribati flag, delightful flag, thank you very much
4:20
Then we've got Papua New Guinea, but can he spell it? That's the real question, no he can't, can't sing
4:24
That's Nauru, I'm afraid, there we go And then that one is the Marshall Islands
4:29
Followed by Micronesia So the way I remembered Micronesia this was when I learnt it like a year ago I like to think of the stars as like little atoms that i looking at under a microscope microscope Micronesia you get it then Tuvalu followed by Vanuatu
4:44
Oh, it is nice to look at that flag and actually know what it is Vanuatu there we go
4:49
Then that is Palau and I think the way I remembered Palau was something to do with me giving my pal an egg
4:55
Because it kind of looks like a yolk right Australia The thing with mnemonics is that they don't have to make any sense
5:01
They just have to create a little bit of a story in your head. It works for my brain. Anyway, i'm not saying it's gonna work for everybody
5:07
But there we go. We got a hundred percent I would say we've affected that so I need to be able to locate the countries
5:11
So before we try and locate them, let's just name the one last time and i'm gonna try and work my way around
5:16
So palau is up there and then is it micronesia next? I think so. Yes, it is and then what's this one
5:22
Is that one solomon islands? Come on, come on. Oh, it's not right. What is that then? I don't know
5:28
I'll come back to it. Kiribati is the big one though. Then we've got australia
5:31
New Zealand, there we go. Papua, New Guinea. I think we got it
5:36
Yeah. Okay, I think, is this one Fiji? Go on. Yes, it is
5:40
This one is Tonga. It's Tonga, isn't it? Tonga. Tonga flag, by the way, if you want a way to remember it
5:46
Quite simply, the cross kind of looks like a T. Where's Naru then
5:49
I think Naru's one of the little ones. It is. Naru's just to the left of Kiribati
5:54
Where's Tuvalu then? Tuvalu is also around the Kiribati area. Okay, I reckon I can remember that because there's three little islands, it looks like
6:01
So we'll think there's like three points to the letter T. Vanuatu is this one with quite a bit of island to it
6:08
That's why you need a van to drive around the whole thing. And then what are you up here? Oh, you're the Marshall Islands, aren't you
6:13
Marshall Islands. Yes. And then what am I missing? Oh no, I've forgotten
6:17
It's Samoa. Yeah, so let's try and click on them. Tonga, that's you. Samoa is just there
6:21
Fiji is this one. Australia, Papua New Guinea, Palau. Yep, Nauru. Yeah, the single one
6:28
Yes. Micronesia up here. Marshall Islands, I want to go there, but I'm not sure it is. Yeah, it is it is it is Kiribati the big one New Zealand down here
6:37
Vanuatu, Tuvalu and Solomon Islands All right, we're gonna do it again at the end of the video
6:44
But first I want to see if we can now identify the outlines close up
6:47
So this gets progressively harder Obviously this first one is Australia There we go next it probably be New Zealand But then after that I guess we have Papua New Guinea gonna be the third one yeah papua new guinea and now from this point should be a little bit more tricky oh i feel like i need to be like back here in order to visualize it i think that would
7:06
be fiji i'm gonna try fiji oh it is go on oh it's weird seeing them enlarged do you think that's
7:11
kirabas kirabas oh it's not so it's gonna be micronesia then i'm gonna go with that one
7:17
Micronesia. Yeah, there we go. What's got the two points? Oh man, it's so difficult with no sense of scale
7:22
Samoa is Samoa. I don't know. I'm gonna remember that. Oh god. What's that? Look at that
7:27
It's gonna be something with lots of islands. So we'll try the Marshall Islands. Let's do that. Okay. There we go
7:32
Makes sense. Oh Kind of spread about my god. This is difficult more islands
7:38
Should we try the Solomon Islands then let's go for it. Yep, there we go that one
7:42
I've no idea on I'm gonna cheat while we learn them Tonga are from this
7:46
distance we can only see two islands well that kind of throws me off that one we concluded was
7:51
tonga so right new area now palau maybe oh that one i'm not sure oh no it'll be vanuatu yeah yeah
7:59
yeah driving around oh that's spread out look at that there's barely anything to it tuvalu yeah
8:05
have we done kirabas yet it was kirabas and then there's naru yeah i recognize the shape there we go
8:10
kirabas must have been rotated on that one which really threw me off but either way we got 100 100%
8:15
So one last little speed run to make sure that it is all in our heads. That one is Marshall Islands
8:20
The marshy sand getting stuck on my feet. That one's Australia. Kiribati
8:25
Magonesia. Ooh, Vanuatu. It's a good flag. I like it very much
8:30
Solomon. Shout out to Stacey Solomon. Tonga. Taiwan. Pal. No, Taiwan. Who went
8:35
Who was it? Samoa. Samoa. Yeah, there we go. Papa New Guinea
8:40
Spelled it right. Tuvalu. Fiji. New Zealand. And Nauru. Quick click on here, Kiribati, Micronesia, Palau, yeah, Marshall Islands, this one I think, or is it up here
8:52
Solomon and Marshall, I can't remember, I'm going to go up there, yeah, Solomon Islands is down that one
8:56
New Zealand is obvious, Tuvalu is three points, Tonga is down here, Papua New Guinea, Fiji, Samoa, Samoa
9:04
Australia, Vanuatu, and finally Nauru. There we go, I think we've done them enough times
9:09
I think Oceania is finally in my head, but of course I will keep practicing
9:13
Thank you very much for watching and I'll see you later
