    @Benny To be honest with you, I don't think I have heard most of these characteristics in your speech except perhaps for i/ɪ (and that too, rarely). Your English is very good. Your hard work pays 😍👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I am curious, does the Venitian dialect also help?

    This video is 100% faithful. Only kids who learn English early can be better at pronunciation

    I don't think so. This is One of our parliamentarians who is laughed at by all for his "English" is the only way he speaks. Let's not generalize

    Non è così. Un nostro parlamentare che è deriso da tutti per il suo "inglese" solo lui parla in questo modo. Non generalizziamo

    Un video che prende in giro gli italiani, ma che non spiega l'esatta pronuncia delle parole che il video fa vedere come sbagliate. Quindi un video inutile ed offensivo. Riferisci pure al tuo buon amico

    @Joseph it is true that Renzi's accent is particularly strong. The video depicts what an English ear hears when Italian speakers with an accent pronounce English. An Italian linguist made a response video that is also very interesting, I highly recommend it https://youtu.be/pX3KejObF_g

    @Graziano I think that anyone can improve their pronunciation but it definitely takes more work when we are adults than when we are children👍🏻

    @Joseph My post says the video is general. My friend and I shared it with good intent. For more individual care and assistance, I am here every day and try to help Italian speakers with precisely the pitfalls enumerated in the video. You may not have most of these pronunciation issues but others may.

    @Graziano Thank you very much for this video. Draghi's. consonant word endings are almost all correct👍🏻 (no extra vowel is added). He does however omit the letter h sound and this results in him making minor grammar mistakes (an hero). His use of vowels is also quite consistent with other Italian speakers' (assimilating several English vowels to the fewer existing italian vowels). He is easily understandable though👍🏻🙂.

    @Alia 알리아 when parents work, if they need someone to take care of their children, they have to find a native English speaker! The best thing to spend money for his future! My friend did that and the result is fantastic 😉😊

    @Louis Hehe, I am not sure I am the most indicated person to check your Italian🙂. I can just tell you that "ch" is pronounced "k" and "gn" is pronounced like Portuguese "nh"😉 Thank you for leaving an audio👍🏻!

    KR

    @Graziano Ciao! Scusa... I had to leave for a bit but am back🙂. Hmmm... Mr. Conte is more difficult to understand... His consonants are a bit lax, particularly N and consonant word endings (I wonder if he is trying to hypercorrect his English). He however sometimes adds a vowel to some word endings too, which is a common pitfall. Very interesting videos, thank you so much for sharing them with me👍🏻!

    @Paul Haha indeed, but I am happy it got attention. The teacher in the video really pinpointed some of the most common pronunciations I work with here so I am grateful you showed it to me😃🙏🏻 Grazieeeee🙂! I have been analyzing French president Macron's English for quite some time so I found it really interesting that some friends here shared videos of politicians in Italy too 😍.

    @Alia 알리아 ☺ I'm from the North West but it's not a regional feature. It is a defect of pronunciation, some of us cannot produce the rolling r. It's from birth.

  • Alia 알리아 2021.03.07 10:16

    EN
    KR

    @luca Oh I see👍🏻 Some people have the same feature in Spanish. In your case, what sound do you replace the trill with?

    @Alia 알리아 with a "weak r" like in French or like in English in fact

    @luca Interesting👍🏻🙂, in Spanish it gets replaced te same way or sometimes with an L, depending on the reason for the omission👍🏻

    @Alia 알리아 oh interesting In my case it's not a case by case ☺ the reason for the omission is just practical impossibility

  • Alia 알리아 2021.03.07 11:58

    EN
    KR

    @luca Right, I think I was unclear. I meant Spanish speakers who take speech therapy use different variants to substitute the trill, depending on their speech defect👍🏻. I love learning about speech therapy🙂

    @Alia 알리아 oh I see I had a friend speech therapist but she always told me that it's not a defect worth correcting at least in my case. The defect is not important and the effort would be substantial.
