There are 197 capital cities in the world, but how many can I name
0:04
You've been pestering me to learn all the capital cities of the world for months now
0:08
and I've made my way through three continents, but today I want to see how much of those three continents have stuck in my head
0:14
and then also how many capital cities from other countries do I just know already? And the answer is not many, but this video will serve as a placeholder to look back on
0:21
when I've learned them all in a few months' time. Let's see if I can do most of North America, minus the Caribbean
0:27
Well, USA is obviously Washington. There you go. Canada is Ottawa, I think
0:33
Ottawa. Yeah, there we go. Sometimes people mix up Toronto and stuff. Mexico is Mexico City, I think
0:39
Yes, it is. And then, yeah, I don't really know any of the Caribbean ones. Although maybe Cuba is Havana, I think
0:46
Havana? Is it spelled like that? Yes, it is. All right, moving on to South America. We have Quito, or I'm told it's actually pronounced Quito
0:53
Then we have Santiago, although I'm told it's actually pronounced Santiago. There you go
0:58
We can also do La Paz for Bolivia. We can do when us areas for Argentina

1:46
Oh, it's Guyana next to Suriname, and Guyana's is Georgetown. There you go
1:50
I can't believe one day I'm gonna have to do all of these. Right, let's leave South America for now

3:06
these bits of Europe, so now it's just... Why is there still so many countries in Europe? Okay

4:37
Luxembourg, which is Luxembourg City, or just Luxembourg. Bern for Switzerland. There you go

4:46
we've done Denmark. We haven't done Amsterdam though. Amsterdam. There you go. All right
4:51
good progress. Nearly done all of Europe. I'm missing four in Europe, but it's so tiny that
4:56
I can't work out where it is. I don't think I've done Turana for, I think, Albania maybe. Okay
5:01
what I'm going to do is I've only got 10 minutes left. So I'm going to move on to Oceania, which is the other continent that I learned, but it was a few months ago, so I've forgotten quite a few
5:08
but I can do Wellington for New Zealand. I can do Canberra for Australia. There's also Gurulmud
5:14
which is the capital of somewhere. Papua New Guinea is Port Mursby. Then there's also Port
5:21
Villa, I think it's called, yeah, which is Vanuatu's capital. I'm now moving on to such
5:26
obscure capital cities. Okay, so capital of Nauru is Yaron, I think. Capital of Solomon Islands is..
5:34
I don't know. Capital of Fiji, can we do that one? I don't think so. All right, now let's just do some ones that I might know
5:40
So capital of Sri Lanka, I think Colombo is an acceptable answer
5:45
Yes, even though what comes up is whatever this is. Capital of India, is it New Delhi
5:49
It is New Delhi. Capital of China is Beijing. Capital of Japan is Tokyo
5:55
Tunisia, I know that one's Tunis, I think. What else can we get
5:59
What do we know? I think somewhere's called Victoria. Yeah, there you go
6:02
All right, we have 69 of 197. I mean, it would be amazing to get to 100, but I don't think I can get another 31
6:08
South Africa. You know what? I don't actually know it because I thought it was Johannesburg, but that's just a large city
6:13
Oh, Kenya's is Nairobi though. Nairobi? How do I spell it? Like that. There you go
6:18
See I should be able to get these two because I learned them so recently That one Ascension but I just can spell it for some reason What is the capital of Colombia Why have I forgotten that I have to come back to it Is Damascus the capital of Syria Damascus Let try it I wonder is the capital
6:31
of Singapore just Singapore? I think it maybe might be. Yeah, it is. Right, I have a final five minutes
6:37
I can get a few more, please. What are these three that I'm missing in Europe? It's just too tiny to
6:42
see. Kind of let myself down on Oceania. Maybe I should try and think of a few more of those. Okay
6:46
Solomon Islands, Marshall Islands, Majora, Majora or something like that. No, I can't get the spelling, but another one's come to me
6:56
It's like, it sounds similar to Palestine. It's Palikir. Yes, there you go
7:02
I don't even know where that's the capital of, but I'm glad that I got it. So the capital of Tuvalu, the way I remembered it was it sounded like Fun and Fruity
7:10
So it's Funifuity, something like that. Funafuity, yeah. There we go. Oh, Egypt
7:17
It's Cairo. Of course. There's got to be some other little countries in this last three minutes that are just famous
7:22
and well-known. I can't say any. What's the capital of United I remember
7:30
It's not Dubai. It's Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi. Don't know how to spell it
7:37
Never mind. We'll get it next time. So as we come to our final 30 seconds, I don't think I can get more than 75, which, do you
7:43
know what? I'm quite happy with. Because go back six months, I probably knew like 20, you know? And I know some really weird obscure ones like Funafuti and Palikra
7:51
which is going to be so weird because there's so many obvious ones that I've missed. But anyway, here we go
7:55
Let's see the ones that I did forget about. Oh, God. Right, there's Abu Dhabi
7:59
Oh, Djibouti's capital is just Djibouti. I could have got that one. There's Majuro that I nearly got
8:05
Oh, I really don't want to learn all of these individually, but I will
8:10
And if you want to see that, all you have to do is subscribe to the channel. Thank you very much for watching
8:14
I'll keep revising the consonants I've already learned, and I'll get started on the remaining consonants very, very soon
8:20
Oh, God. Podgorica. There it is. Why can I not spell that word
8:25
Vienna. I missed Vienna. Oh, and Asuncion. Oh, it just gets worse the more I look at it
