How to Pronounce Italian Like a Native Speaker

Rs, not R's

Trying to impress an Italian girl I'm going out with atm. Apparently I pronounce Italian words like a Russian

I don't want to learn Italian why Am I seeing this video😭

Great for starters! Thanx!!

As a native english speaker who's main language outside of American English is Mexican Spanish, this is incredibly in depth as far as pronunciation goes

È

Rdddd

Warning: the native Italian girl in the video has a strong regional accent, meaning that most of the times she's not stressing correctly the differences between è and é, and ò and ó, neither is she pronouncing most of the words containing those vowels in a standard italian accent. This not a big deal, I know, she's perfectly understandable, but being this video focused on the subtleties related to the (standard) Italian pronunciation I feel obliged to point out that the girl's accent cannot be considered reliable

Where is the difference between the open E and the closed E?? This is tipical of northern or southern Italians who mix them up. This is the case of the word Pèsca (open) which means Peach and Pésca (closed) which means fishing

Oddio la pronuncia italiana della ragazza non è corretta, tutte le o chiuse le pronuncia aperte...

Giá = a-ready haha.

Nice teacher d

Per Desirée: Non voglio fare il criticone, però hai pronunciato "pésca" e "pèsca" nello stesso modo, mentre la "é" di "pésca" dovrebbe essere un pochino più chiusa. E anche in altri casi ho notato che tendi a pronunciare le vocali "e" e "o" sempre aperte, probabilmente perché nella tua regione si pronunciano in quel modo.
A parte questo dettaglio, ottimo il contenuto: credo che aiuterà molto i tanti anglosassoni che tentano faticosamente di disricarsi con la pronuncia italiana.

I’m half Italian and I only know a few words

I’m not enjoying this presentation

The women are off putting

(Never mind the Italian girl The one who gets her hair cut in the dark . Yikes!!)

Not feeling this

Something comforting for foreigners who want to learn Italian. Very few of us know the difference in pronunciation between pésca (fishing) and pèsca (peach) and the sound is too similar to distinguish it. We understand the meaning only from the context. So don't try too hard on the open or closed "e" and "o", there are much more important things to focus on!

I wouldn't say that the pronunciation of the double consonant is just a "longer sound". They are really two letters. I think a good exercise is the syllable division. Example: pal-la, ros-so, non-na ... try to pronounce them detached and then faster and faster.
These words, with only one consonant, change meaning.

Sono Italiano, ma certi suoni li fa praticamente identici, facendo solo che funzione. Intendo le lettere E - O.

Tutte stronzate basta che bestemmiate ogni 3 parole e sarete veri medreligua

Desirèe pronounces all o/o and e/e the same way! never heard anything like that in Italy before ! What part of Italy is she form ???

Italian pronunciation is very easy for Russian people if you compare it with English or French pronunciation. Almost all sounds are the same even R. It sounds suspiciously easy. What's the catch?

I don't mean to be offensive so sorry in advance about that BUUUUT the italian girl in the video actually has an accent, I wouldn't take her as an example

Grazie mille

Because of vicenzo drama, i go to this video for speaking natively

A lot of things are missing. For example, in Italian there are words that are written in the same way, but have different meanings depending on how you pronounce them. Example: botte means barrel and bòtte means blows. This becomes a bit difficult because accents are usually omitted and you have to adapt to the content of the sentence to choose the right pronunciation.

Attention: the pronunciation of "o" and "e" in the most part of this video is wrong! The girl has a strong regional accent that is not standard. I think, but i'm not 100% sure, that she is from Turin.

thanks for helping us

Honestly, learning Italian pronunciation is pretty easy for English speakers when compared to so many other languages.

This video is too formal I like the others better

Desire seems nice.

I’m Greek and I found the pronunciation too easy🇬🇷🇮🇹

Trentatré trentini andarono a Trento tutti e trentatré trotterellando

It's great and divertete

This is really good! Thank you!

As italian she pronounce as a north person would or very careful idk

7:40 the e sound is like the e in the word nay! What the hell is she on about? I clearly heard e as in red and then she clearly said that it sounds like an a (as in bay, I have never heard of a nay)

Grazie💖

I learned to pronounce the Rolled r sound in Italian when I was 9 years old

1:15 that sounds exactly like my name

I was talking to my Italian friend and I was surprised at how much she wanted me to roll my r’s in arrivederci.

I’m italian, I’m here just to feel better after I’ve spent 2 hours trying to learn the english phrasal verbs lol

I am happy to have the "heavily rolled R", in my native language : Finnish, so no Problem !
