The YouTube clips revealed little about her nationality. So there are tulips on the table and the kitchen cupboards are made of birch… which twenty years ago would have narrowed it down somewhat to the Nordic countries, but since Ikea achieved worldwide flatpack domination, this kitchen could be anywhere really.

A few clicks later, it turns out Smoukahontas is a 19-year-old Finn, with an Instagram account sporting a generous array of selfies.
In the video, she gallops through languages, throwing in an "Innit?" into the British English rendition that otherwise is just meaningless gobbledygook. The American English stands out in pitch-perfect contrast, with a whiney "Seriously?" thrown in for good measure. Hindi, French, Estonian, and Portuguese also gets the Smoukahontas treatment.
