Hausa come when everybody is the Chicago geographer here and welcome to another country spotlight episode today we are playing the Czech Republic or Czech yeah as it’s known today a beautiful country in Central Europe and this should make for a pretty fun challenge European countries are usually pretty good about
Signage and they’re generally quite nice to look at so this will be fun three minutes per round you guys know the drill go play along right now before watching my video and then come back here check out my attempt alright here we go first around here in the Czech Republic let’s
Try and get this one so we have some town names here these cities and a lot of bull siege I don’t know how to pronounce these but that’s what they are V Satish and milada I’m gonna remember those let’s look for a road number as well hopefully we have
One there’s some more towns here as well all right that one’s actually further away vogt eise so seventeen that must mean says somewhat bigger town vote ‘yes this is the one yeah so I’m trying to see if there’s a road number anywhere nearby because sometimes there are but you never know this seems
Like a smaller road so there might not be we’re entering this little town here Okay so we have actually a lot of things here this is the road number 125 so that’s good and we’re looking for Votey sandblast scene so let’s try and find those don’t know how far in I’m gonna have to zoom but there’s Vlasov and that is 19
Miles or 19 kilometres sort of east of us kinda and he’s a lot of Aussies so we must be pretty close to here yeah probably in this town maybe not sure I’m gonna go back to the start and try and line this up so right this sort of
Intersection here okay now let’s see what one is that gonna be probably this actually now that I look at it because that’ll make sense we did kind of go south east to get into this town and distance wise that definitely lines up makes a lot of sense so yeah I will say
That we are there so we’ll be just about there then fantastic all right good way to start we had all the information we needed just kind of have to figure out generally where we’d be in correlation to those towns that was a good round all right starting out
In some woods this time do we have any directions here doesn’t seem like it well let’s just head this way oh the landscape just changed to snow that’s kind of interesting but here is a directional sign pointing us to nice erotic and we are on the 336 okay so
Let’s look for nos erotic now puli it shows up should because it’s pretty far away so it must be a decent size to town of some sort I hope I also hope I’m not scrolling right over it which I very well might be as you
Mean one more okay no now I’m just gonna look for the streets the 336 because that might help me out so these are all ones I’m not sure how they number their roads but hopefully I can figure that out there’s some force so this area is fours it looks like there’s some threes
As well so twos might be up here oh wait no we’re looking for threes that’s what we want never mind so that’s good we’re around here somewhere so we’re looking for 336 it seems like they’re going down as I head up this way there’s 330 or 355 getting closer 41:37
Very very close now I’ll see if I see that town anywhere I don’t see it oh wait there it is okay so we must be around here then if that’s 29 to the south oh yeah we must be up here further 334 37 I just don’t see 36
Oh here it is okay so we’re looking for those towns and the other one is I don’t see that other one 336 is basically just here so oh there’s ruk okay not too far away I didn’t have enough time to figure that out it’s kind of unfortunate but at
Least I wasn’t that far away 39 42 that’s fine we’ll take that okay so here we are starting out in a village let’s try and figure out what it’s called just the name of it looks like it so this is Cochiti s’ okay now we’ve got that let’s
See what other towns were nearby to you and what road were on Kota geez that’s the town okay I don’t know what that is it’s a very cloudy gray day here on street view all right so we’re coming into another town here crossing over a railroad this
Is the town of horny you jazzed okay there’s something blurred out right in front of us aha here we go directions so vasin Ovie’s Jarl Mary’s and we were in Cochiti sore Cota geez something like that down boy these are hard to remember because they
All sound very similar to me at least so it’s kind of tricky to keep them straight in my head but that’s all right see if we can get a road number those are key I think that’ll really help me out in searching especially now that I
Kind of know how the roads are numbered and where they are is there a road number please doesn’t seem like it about here no ok so we’re kind of just stuck with these town names I hope I have enough time to figure this out it’s dammit let me get
Onto this street Oh where did that sign go oh here it is all right so I’m just gonna look for these places and code to juice I guess I really hope I can just find them super fast but we might be out of luck here saw her to say it
You know I’m not seeing these places just so many places just ending I see it’s kind of insane to even scan through all these so yeah we’re out of luck okay not that far away we still got some points it was down there I don’t think I
Looked over there so that’s kind of unfortunate but there we have it can’t win them all next round we are entering the town of red Murray’s and hell does that mean not a lot Ben is he gonna be around here then and what is not la been mean
There’s not levin does that mean like on the banks or something or on the river there’s another one must means something like that so it’s probably gonna be along a river then there’s something like that not really sure well anyway let’s try and figure out
Where else we can get to from this town one of the towns are close here’s a good looking sign okay so we have all these places Nakhoda Jaromir on em is that a road not sure what that means but let’s just look for those places it’s really
The only thing I can think to do not cold and gr owner I don’t see them hmm okay kind of conserving but it’s not my Ben thing that’s gotta be a key thing I don’t I don’t know what I’m missing there and also where are these places
Why I’ve not seen them they must be around here come on there’s no code okay so we’re looking for a Jerome ER as well which is there oh it’s on the 33 it’s not 33 away that makes a lot more sense okay so we’ll then 33 kinda gist is here to the end
It does seem to end so we must be around here there’s this town pred Maurice not love em okay so we are in front of the lomax I think we’re kind of heading out this way right could it be there oh man I didn’t pinpoint it but we had
The right road 49 97 that’s good all right figured that out with not too much time to spare but at least we got almost the full points so that’s good all right last round here let’s see if we can break 20k that is my new goal it
Should be doable but it really just depends on this round I don’t like that we’re heading into a forest here so I’m gonna go the other way oh it kind of seems like we’re just in the woods but here we go so there’s a road here that’ll help us
Pinpoint and we’re coming into the town of sister Jovi’s all right so we are in sister Therese let’s look for directions other places not gonna remember that sister drove East though I will remember cesta juvies okay anything else vulovic I don’t know if I’ll remember that but I’ll try
Zest Oh Teresa felucca okay it seems like a tricky round because we’re kind of it seems like pretty far away from stuff but that’s fine let’s just try and work our way towards some better signs oh man and to another town here this is vulovic
Uh okay so that was one town name so I’ll just remember vodka and here’s a bigger road that’s fantastic all right please have information I really hope it does oh boy running low on time there’s definitely the possibility to get this one if I can just get a better sign to
Triangulate where I am here we go to 85 so we’re in the twos which I believe will be I’m here somewhere here are two so we’re looking for 285 there’s 70 to 80 81 84 so we’ve gotta be right around here damn it I can get this one
Come on what are the towns are looking for vodka and all that crap damn where is this 285 come on I swear I see everything except 85 86 84 82 83 a nine 88 87 oh my god damn it all the way down here are you serious
Wow okay that was kind of misleading very close to the other round we had I think we were right down there so not far away at all wow I didn’t expect it to be all the way down there though that sucks so final score is 17 735 honestly
Not terrible we had two rounds that I actually figured out one that I almost had and these two kind of just tripped me up overall not terrible could have gone a lot better we had the information and ability to have possibly got into 5k
If I just had a little more time and was a little bit better at the Czech Republic so there you go that was this country spotlight hope you guys enjoyed it let me know how you did down in the comments and as always if you have more

Hey, thanks for watching! I just posted a new video where I play the Czech Republic map again – check it out here: https://youtu.be/GjuSYrjqaMs I also upload Geoguessr challenges and other geography content every week. I hope you enjoy my channel!
I am living in Mladá Vožice, . you are near Hlasivo 😀 lol
dement si vyslovuje česká města jako by to bylo určitě anglicky a hlavně že my musíme číst angličtinu uplně přesně…
Lol im from Czech Republic
Hearing you pronounce the village names makes me chuckle
já sem čech 😀 btw nice video
Someone might have already commented about this, but the suffix "-ice" is generally used in the names of villages and smaller towns, never large cities (well, except for České Budějovice). It's kind of similar to "-ton" in Washington/Boston/Livingston :).
Dude i live in the Czech republic and that road at the start looks like a thousand other. I have seen roads exactly like that one thousands of times
u saw my house 😀
10:11 you were zooming right on my boring little hometown 😀
lol im from czechia
i was really rooting for you, you got the difficult ones, ending up in villages and on a field roads, but you handled them like a pro!
Greetings from Czech republic 🙂
VYŠKOOOOOOOV
Čau tvoje videa z map na Google mapách jsou dobré jsem z české republiky kousek od Prahy a občas koukám taky na mapy lecos zajímavého se tam dá najít.
Kdo je z ceska
I live in Czech republick😃
It hurts my ears when he read the names.
The second part, just when i saw the first picture i knew exactly where you were 😀 Havent been there a long time though 🙂
Vyšetice = Výstýž, nope xD
Great video as well as the second one! You did really pretty good job with the pronunciation so I turned off adblock for your videos and actually watch all ads. The best thing in this video was when you pronounce "Načeradec" as in a czech transcription "Naser Radek" which means "Fuck off Radek (male name)" 😀
This is deadass asmr im not kidding
My jsme srdce Evropy. Máme druhý nejtěžší jazyk na světě.
We are heart of Europe. We have the second hardest language in world.
Kdo je tu taky z Česka?
Postfix "-ice" is like "-ville". That's why almost every village has it. Not all, but many.
Hello from the Czech Republic….
that sign on 6:46 told you that it is on Moravia (part of Czech republic) "Kojetice na Moravě" that na means something like Kojetice in Moravia, you also bypassed train station in that speed a second later. The Czech Republic has three major parts (Bohemia Moravia Silesia).
You guessed well that "n.L" that means "above something", in this case, some river and exactly it is "nad Labem."
That M is "mýto" in your language something like a toll.
You did an excellent job man… even for me and I am from Czechia it was hard because it was smaller towns or in some cases almost villages I never heard about. Yes, there were signs with larger towns, but I understand that for you it is placed unknown.
You deserved my deep bow, great job.
když si zapamatoval mladá, nevim co bude dělat až objeví třeba mladou boleslav 😀 😀
It´s funny when you are reading names of town or villiges in my country like it will be towns in England. 😀
We Czechs have one of hardest lenguages in the world but you are not allow to ruin it 😀 That´s just us i think. Nice vid i like it.
That "M" is tax for trucks
I’m here because I find your voice very calming.
Geoguessr: Do you like this map?
Me: I guess not.
Hello there
I'm from Czech and half of the time I didn't know where the heck you were XD
To vyslovení v Angličtině 😀
Thank you for nice video 🙂 But we are Eastern Europe not middle ❤️
Labe means Elbe in English
ahoj 😀 umíš moc dobře česky mluvit
I am czech tak ahoj
Who else is Czech
If you are then like
hi for cz
Wow you're really good a this, I'm a local and it wouldn't cross my mind to use the road numbers to pinpoint the location
Dlaczego mówicie ahoj jak nie macie dostępu do morza?
Why do you say ahoj when you have no access to the sea?
Omg there was my house you were looking at my house I live in Mladá Vožice
Places with "na" in Slavic countries usually indicate river, with whatever case ending na takes. Russia has Rostov-na-Donu, Slavyansk-na-Kubani, Kamen'-na-Obi, Komsomol'sk-na-Amure….
If you are on bridge and you dont know whats number of road, just look at little black sign. First numbers mean number of road, ant next numbers are order of bridge on road
11:20 i live in hradec kralove and he scrolled over it like 5 times 😂
I'm from czechia and the way he reads the sings is hilarious and it sounds nothing like the actual word😂😂😂😂😂😂.
