Pretty funny! I wish my old teacher would've shown me this when I first learned about them... worth the watch.
I agree he is really funny, keeps me interested.
very cool stuff. interesting video. honestly, better than my high school professors haha
Very funny guy, but very educational at the same time.
Seriously love his video lessons! It's kind of sad that Zeng He doesn't get the recognition he deserves, I had honestly never even heard of him and I took AP world history in high school.
I've read somewhere that Zeng might've even traveled as far as North America! Its crazy to think that such a huge fleet could've maybe gone that far - I find that theory kind of unlikely though. But you never know!
I love these types of videos. They are so interesting and funny. I think John Green is brilliant! The animations also help to wrap your head around all the facts and history.
I honestly enjoy these videos so much! It's very animated and very kid-friendly, like previously said by one of my classmates, i wished i wouldve seen this when i was learning it the first time. I am a very visual person and personally that is how i learn the best. John Green is the best!
love it! love john green! always keeping my interested.
Honestly John Green is one of the best! He's hilarious and very educational!
I love how he keeps you wanting to hear more. He's pretty funny!
Wow it's crazy that half of the world could be speaking Spanish and the other in Portuguese. It would make it easier to communicate though since there would only be two languages to learn.
John Green's jokes are so dorky, but I literally always laugh. I agree with what everyone said above, especially with the fact that not only is John Green funny, but he is also very educational.
I didn't know much about Zheng He before this before this video. I feel that I was able to grasp a little bit of information about him. I also didn't realize how much Vasco de Gama contributed to the trading system in the Indian Ocean until I saw this video.
