Understand why Italian speakers have an Italian accent when speaking English with the help of Matteo Renzi, Monica Bellucci, Gino D'Acampo and others! Speak clearly and confidently with my course: https://improveyouraccent.co.uk/english-pronunciation-course/ 00:00 - Intro 00:13 - Adding Extra Vowels 00:57 - The R Sound 01:35 - Double Consonants 02:36 - The H Sound 03:33 - S vs Z 04:27 - The GOAT Vowel 05:07 - The FLEECE and KIT Vowels 05:38 - Conclusion *Disclaimers* 1. The example speakers in this video have been chosen because they exhibit the highlighted accent features to such an extent that it is easier for the viewer to hear. If speakers with "less strong" Italian accents were chosen, it would be harder for non-phonetically trained viewers to understand the points in the video. 2. Not all native Italian speakers will have the same accent features (or these features to the same degree) as those in the video. However, I have taught many Italian speakers who do have accents similar to the those in the video (even young people and even people who have lived in England for many years). 3. There are many accents (and dialects/languages) in Italy. When an Italian from Sicily speaks English, it will sound different to someone from Milan speaking English. There isn't just "one Italian accent", but this video summarises some accent features that most Italian speakers have (either when they started to learn English or even now after speaking English for many years). 4. I have not shown all potential accent features that Italian speakers may have. 5. Some topics have been simplified for a general audience. *Links* Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ImproveYourAccent/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/ImproveAccent Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ImproveYourAccent/ Free pronunciation learning resources: https://www.ImproveYourAccent.co.uk/Learn *Speakers in the video* Matteo Renzi (politician) Monica Bellucci (actress) Gino D'Acampo (chef) Roberto Benigni (actor) Gianni Pittella (politician) Antonio Conte (football manager) Sounds from FreeSound.org Slide Guitar 1 by Redafs, Bamboo Swing, B8 by InspectorJ, Cartoon Bounce by Alexir, Wind swish swoosh 2 by daalvinz Background Music: Inevitable from YouTube Audio Library
