As a native Malay speaker, she is very fluent for a non-native speaker in Malaysia and her R is not as typical as many Chinese Malaysians who can’t roll their Rs very well. Her R sounds like she could be from the northern part of Malaysia when r is pronounced as “gh”. And she is quite humble because pointing out her weakness is just a humble way to showcase herself instead of being too prideful with their own native languages and then put people down with that.

I’m sure Jessica is a nice girl, and guessing languages is really hard if you’re not exposed to them. What I’m going to say next is not meant to slight her, but I’m just wondering why she kept on saying “North Africa” when it’s not even a country? 🤔
Also, asking them to count from one to five is a good strategy but it’s going to be useless if you don’t even pay attention. Numbers in Austronesian languages are often similar, so while she wasn’t able to guess Malay, when it was time for the Indonesian and Tagalog speakers that came after that, she should’ve been able to hear the similarities when it comes to numbers in those languages and by process of comparison she should’ve been able to conclude that they come from the same region.
Oh well, we can’t really imagine being in her shoes, so all things considered we should really applaud her for giving her best 👏

You’re pretty right. Anyway, the Catalan language has many sounds (g, j, à, è, x, etc) that don’t exist in Spanish. In fact, surprisingly enough, eastern Catalan sounds pretty close to the European Portuguese accent !. But , as you said, its vocabulary is pretty close to Occitan, French and Italian.

asking then to count from one to five was a good strategy but she unfortunately didn't remember the answer. If she does, she would realize the other two countries had similarities to Malaysia. Malay, Indonesian, Tagalog language are part of Austronesia Language Group.
Meanwhile, this was the first time I heard Chinese Malaysian spoke Malay. Despite on how good she spoke Malay, I could sense that she didn't used it in her daily life.

She does not know Asian languages 😳. Malaysian 🇲🇾 is similar to Indonesia 🇮🇩 .
Tagalog 🇵🇭 has some cognates of both languages and Spanish. Kumusta should have been the big giveaway 🙄. Spanish cognate.
English is an official language in Malaysia 🇲🇾, Singapore 🇸🇬 and The Philippines 🇵🇭. I traveled to the latter 2 nations.
