Why do Italians sound Italian? | Improve Your Accent

This is an excellent video. I was born bilingual and so I was cursed with perfect native accents in both languages. I've always wanted an italian accent speaking english and now I have the tools to practice faking it 😅!

who is the beautiful women?

I play an Italian character at my local RenFest, and so many people, including a few Italian speakers actually thought I was from Italy. I remember watching this video and really thinking about everything I was saying and how I was saying it for a few months leading up to my audition, as well as sending it to an Italian friend of mine. Needless to say, these tips are VERY helpful and accurate.

I am italian and I can tell you that you are a great teacher!

Non puoi prendere esempio con Renzi o Benigni....loro sono ridicoli...

I speak Telugu (South Indian language) (16th most spoken language in the world) and it's called Italian of the east because all the words in my language ends with vowels as well but still my accent is Indian😅

I'm here because of a character from Reverse 1999 who has a certain accent, Scheneider.

i need to pickup italian accent for my group project this really helps thanks! finding an italian boyfriend would be harder 😂

Watch your mouth; didn't your mother tell you not to talk about your diphthong in mixed company?

So this is easy how everybody in Italy speak English like that?🤔

Amazing Teacher (Clapsx1000k)

Che forti rrrrrrrrrr

The 1st one u have shown is the most fakest show man-a in Italy stupid man-a

Thank you I have been looking for something like this that isnt made by a fucking American. I am American and trying to practice the Italian accent for an audiobook audition and the author wants most of the character to have an Italian accent. But he wants the narrator and main character to be genralized American English. I didn't want to submit an audition that sounded inauthentic but I was struggling to find anyone that wasn't just american. I used a really weird search sentence to find this because "How to do an authentic Italian accent" didnt give many good results. This is a great start for me!

thank you, it's useful😄

😂😂😂

is this accent gud in ielts man, im trying to find an accent that suits me

As an Italian I only have one thing to say:

ə

Italians shouldn't pronounce English words in an English sort of way. We will understand either way.
Also, the italian accent is beautiful and speaking english with such an accent is only enhancing it! Grazie❤

Oh shit!

My acquintenance with Italian is fairly superficial to take the following for what it is worth. Everything in this video seems correct as far as I can tell BUT one thing it describes puzzles me: the Italian tendency to try to end all words with some sort of vowel speaking English. This is undeniably true but I have also noted that Italians drop final vowels all the time in their informal, everyday speech, at least in some parts of the country. So words ending in in consonants cant be all that strange to an Italian ear. What gives here?

After having gone to Italy and hearing people from Italy speaking English, im guessing this is a heavily forced accent or just more forced than needed

THIS WAS SO GOOD!

Lmao i speak both as a native and the first clip is simply bs, you made up the vowels man... closed the video after that

The music 💀

Seeing Antonio Conte has made my day. Rightfully so.

Why do Italian people sound Italian, oh, I don't know, maybe because, they're ITALIAN!

oh my god that's why whenever an italian says a word like "witty" or something it sounds like they're trying to remember how to pronounce the next letter??

Why Argentinians sound Italian?

Most people stereotype the Italian accent as either sounding like super Mario or a Italian American Mafia Don.

meanwhile; i came to learn Italian english

Even I don't English so good, and I'm American. Italians are marvelous because many of them at least try to learn another language.

Why Italians sound Italian?? Ohh la Madonna!! 🙄.. Because Mexicans Sound Mexican

You are right in saying that we often do not pronounce your words well but, always remember, that you write with our letters....

I'm trying to figure out why my Italian makes me sound like I am speaking with a German accent. I know it has something to do with the way I pronounce consonants. There's a bit of staccato to it. I also believe I have a similar characteristic when I speak my native tongue, American English. Perhaps this is why people always say, where are you from? I don't know why I do this. I can sometimes hear it in recordings.

Hi! Please make a video on why Indians sound Indian. I just wanna figure it out. Mostly people speak Hindi in India

Bikkius.... In aummaind ... Evrifinchi Is totalli connected uif Iu Chei

All Hispanic countries have the same accent when speaking English.. Italy, Colombia, Mexico.. all the same..

Don't forget one thing about accents, it might be important to let know to your interlocutors that you are italian/french/whatever...
There is for exemple a typical french accent in the catering industry, even french people speaking very well english use a kind of french/english pidgin by communicating to customers and reporters, to enhance their 'french cuisine style'... Also valid for some 'pizzaioli' and other flirties...

I think you could have explained the open closed syllable reasons for the vowel proncunciation (usually long vs short) with the double consonant. We were taught vowel + single consonant+ silent e, but in reality, in English just as in Dutch, this is vowel + single consonant + most endings (-e, -ing, etc.) for a long vowel, and in most cases a short vowel with a double consonant or consonant cluster.

Sometimes maybe good sometimes maybe shit

I watched this just for the "sheet" part 😂

Yellow cowards

I was in a Discord party with many non-Italian participants. Well, this British guy said to me "God, I love that Italian accent!". I was kinda "happppy" (lol) to hear that, but honestly I never bothered about my Italian accent when speaking English/German. For me having an accent it's cool and gives uniqueness to an individual.
