The name we know a country by in English is often different to what it is called locally. The Italians know their country as Italia, the Spanish theirs as España . See how well you can match these local country names with the English name. Please let us know how well you do 🙂

Cool quiz! I knew some so well and others… so bad, I guess. ?
8/11 though. ?
8/11 is pretty good, Sabrina!
You got 6 out of 11 right!
Not so bad
Not bad at all. Some of these are quite tough!
They are! I knew some of the European ones and could easily guess one or two others. But you chose some tough ones!
wth…I got zero
LOL – better luck with part 2 🙂
Just 4/11 – woops!
😀 The only way is UP!
11 out of 11.
Well done, Andrew!
Thanks Norman! I had fun!
great (Y)
5 out of 11
Could be worse!! ☺
Te Echo Di Menos!
Whaa?
8! 😀 🙂
Not bad, Marcelle 🙂

4/11
Oops! Thanks for playing 🙂
9/11 … knowing that I live in Europe 🙂
Nice score, Vidocka 🙂
Only 6/11 – disappointing!
Reminds me of an old joke, wherein a Chinese accent is imitated in the punchline: “Philately will get you nowhere” (No, I don’t remember the rest of the joke.) My youthful philately pays dividends in recognising native country names, except the new ones of course.
10/11
Excellent!
You cheated, lol, I only 7 of 11 , regards Ellie
jajaja, este es el mio, España paella, tortilla de patatas y ole, jajaaja, regards Norman
Olé olé olé 😀
To tell the truth I played with some advantage, when I was a boy collected postage stamps from the world, many of these countries come with their original name, I have failed only in the most recent creation, greetings bro.
Exactly the same with me, Óscar! I remember all but the most recent names from my stamp album 😀
3 – If I had been more careful I might have had 4. Thanks, it was tough and fun.
Well, if you enjoyed it, my mission is accomplished. About a week ago, I resolved to ease back on the difficulty of my quizzes. I’m not sure I’ve kept that resolution! Thanks for playing, Howard 🙂
That’s the dilemma isn’t it? Too easy and it’s not that much fun and if too difficult, people are afraid to have a go at it.
Exactly that! For myself, I love a difficult quiz, as long as the content is interesting. But I know I’m not everyone 🙂
The thing is that challenge is good and I think a day when I learn something is a good day. I’m tempted to retake it and see if I retained something but fear that might end badly. 🙂
That was my first quiz here, and it was SO HARD!! I only got 3 right, how embarrassing. I am sure that it was a great example to learn from though. Thanks.
It was certainly a case of jumping in the deep end, Sally! I’m a divil for making my quizzes tough. Part 2 of this is coming up today; it might be easier, but I’m making no promises! Thanks for playing 🙂
Yikes only 2!
2 or 3 is about average, so don’t feel special!! Thanks for playing, Carol 🙂
I got 7 out of 11 right! Super quiz, Norman but a tough one!
Part 2 coming up today hopefully. 7/11 is a good score – only Gary exceeded it, Thanks for playing, Dawn 🙂
3…. ugh… I almost got 4 but changed my answer at the last moment. lol
3 seems to be pretty much par, Kim! Thanks for playing 🙂
8/11
Very good score, Gary (compare the others!) When I was a kid I used to collect stamps, and I recognise a lot of names from then. Thanks for playing 🙂
I loved collecting stamps as well. The images on stamps are so fascinating and one can learn a lot about a country from a tiny piece of paper. It’s sad that in this age of emails, and ecards, our kids will probably never receive a letter or see a stamp.
So true! But things are moving so fast, that my younger kids even think email is passé 🙂
Hehe, nothing short of teleportation would do for them I’m afraid….or apparating if they are Harry Potter fans. 🙂
6/11 ohhhh
6 is high, Txatxy! Thanks for playing 🙂
Can’t answer them correctly.
Hard quiz, eh?!
You got 2 out of 11 right!
Bad day, right?
It was a tough one! Combine that with a bad day and ….! Thanks for playing, Gina 🙂
???
tough quiz! Got 3 but had a blast!
Tough it was! But glad you enjoyed – thanks for playing, Doc 🙂
6 out of 11 right :/
You’re certainly on the high side of average, VE 🙂 Thanks for playing!
got 3 out of 11 right
That seems to be about average, Edith 🙂 Thanks for playing!
