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 probably know less than half of the flags
0:28
It's not great. But today we fixed that so we've also got papa 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
0:43
And then what's this one? Is it palau? It is palau and then the big fella that's kirabas is it I think spelled kirabati
0:51
There we go. 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 Nauru and
1:03
Tuvalu, Nauru, Vanuatu, Vanuatu and then the final two are Samoa. We haven't done Samoa. Samoa and what are you then? Hello
1:13
You're Tonga, didn't I click you at the start of the video? Yes, okay good. Right, so you might be thinking nice Jack
1:17
Well done, you don't need to learn them. Well wait until I try and do the flags. Okay, so that one I do know that is Fiji and then that is
1:24
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
1:31
I cannot remember that one. That one is Polo. 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. 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
Kerr-ba-ti. 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 going to remember Vanuatu is this, like, cool shell thing that they've got
2:01
Guess what? It's not a shell anymore. It's actually a round road. What I'm going to do is I'm going to imagine a van on that road driving round the round road
2:09
And guess what the van's doing? That's right. He's delivering Xboxes, obviously
2:13
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 going to remember this is the Solomon Islands Right I was going to do a big highbrow answer about King Solomon of Israel
2:25
being the 9th century king, and he was like one of the richest people ever
2:29
and he likes gold, so this is like a gold path. But do you know what's more likely to stick in my head
2:33
Stacey Solomon. She's just a random celebrity in the UK. I think she was on X Factor or something
2:38
Now she's on Loose Women, is that right? Either way, she was on X Factor, and these stars are kind of shaped like an X
2:43
And also she's a star stars solomon islands. There we go right naru
2:49
How am I remembering naru with this interesting little flag? So the one thing that I know about naru 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
3:00
Basically, it's just because of the influence of western culture coming over to the island 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, but I'm just trying to get it stuck in my head, okay
3:19
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 marshland, you know, like squelchy sand or something
3:35
And the white is stone underneath the marshy land. And then I'm gonna walk along it and me 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
4:07
Yes, i'm kind of remembering both king solomon of israel and stacy solomon in my head at this point new zealand
4:13
followed by Fiji, followed by Tonga, followed by Kiribati. Side note, Kiribati flag
4:19
Delightful flag, thank you very much. Then we've got Papua New Guinea. But can he spell it? That's the real question
4:23
No, he can't. He can't sing. That's Naru, I'm afraid. There we go. And then that one is the Marshall Islands, followed by Micronesia
4:32
So the way I remembered Micronesia this was when I learned 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 and it works for my brain anyway
5:05
I'm not saying it's gonna work for everybody, 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 them 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 is that one solomon islands? Come on, come on
5:25
Oh, it's not right. What is that then? I don't know. I'll come back to it. Kiribati is the big one though
5:30
Then we've got australia new zealand. There we go. Papua new guinea. I think we got it. Yeah
5:36
Okay, I think is this one fiji go on. Yes, it is this one is tonga. It's tonga, isn't it? Tonga
5:43
Tonga flag by the way if you want a way to remember it quite simply the cross kind of looks like a t
5:48
Where's naru then I think naru is 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 kirabas area Okay, I reckon I can remember that because there's three little islands. It looks like so we'll think there's like three points to the letter t
6:04
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. Then what are you up here? Oh, you're the marshall islands aren't you marshall islands
6:14
Yes, and then what am I missing? Oh, no i've forgotten it's samoa. Yeah, so let's try and click on them tonga
6:19
That's you samoa is just there fiji is this one australia Papua New Guinea, Palau, yep, Nauru, yeah, the single one, yes, Micronesia, up here, Marshall Islands
6:32
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
6:36
down here, Vanuatu, Tuvalu, and Sullivan Islands, all right, we're going to do it again at the end
6:43
of the video, but first, I want to see if we can now identify the outlines close up, so this gets
6:48
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 is that what 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 some or I don't know how 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. Should we try the Solomon Islands then let's go for it
7:41
Yep, there we go that one. 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 up that one we concluded was
7:51
tonga so right new area now hello 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
8:10
go kirabas must have been rotated on that one which really threw me off but either way we got
8:14
100 so one last little speed run to make sure that it is all in our heads that one is marshall
8:20
islands the marshy sand getting stuck on my feet that one's australia kiribas micronesia
8:28
it's a good flag i like it very much solomon shout out to stacy solomon tonga taiwan pal no
8:34
tai who went who was it the samoa samoa yeah there we go papa new guinea spelled it right
8:41
Tuvalu, Fiji, New Zealand and Nauru. Quick click on here. Kiribati, Micronesia
8:47
Plough, yeah, Marshall Islands this one I think or is it up here? Solomon and Marshall
8:53
I can't remember. I'm going to go up there. Yeah, Solomon Islands is down that one. New Zealand is
8:57
obvious. Tuvalu is three points. Tonga is down here. Papua New Guinea, Fiji
9:03
Samoa, Samoa, 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
