I'm learning Italian to honor the memory of my father who spoke fluently and read books in 6 languages and Italian was the closest and the dearest to him over English, German, Amharic, French and Russian. Though he tried to teach me when I was young, i was too focused on mastering English i didn't pursue it seriously. But now tyat he is gone and i remember how much he insistedfor me to learn italian language and culture, I am devoting the next 2 years to learn and master Italian to fluency...to a point of it becoming an inherent mode of expression of being just like my Father and just as he tried to insist...even though I didn't hearken to his voice. 😪 So help me God, i shall honor his memory and legacy in this way that he thought, spoke and lived! 🙏 learning Italian is about continuity of a family legacy for me..and I am so grateful to find your channel amongst many. Thank you for all you do on this channel, you may not realize how much of an impact you have until you hear it from us....🙏 ....some of us is ones that forgot everything their parent/ grandparent taught them before they moved to America at a young age. And now that their roots have gone to heaven but they know and remember their noise, sound, expression and soul more in Italiano than any of the other languages they spoke.....😪 so are now desperately trying to hear them (the ancestors) again...remember everything they said and all the principles they lived by and everything they taught back then. 🙏 language is not always about tourism....sometimes it's about connecting to one's roots, lineage and historical identity too. So kudos to you Emanuel, keep blessing the world with this good thing you are doing. Many more than you think are grateful for it! 🙏 grazie mille per esserci 🙏💚💛❤️🙏
I agree that they're exaggerated, but for the purpose of instruction, they're intended (I think) to strongly accentuate the differences between the correct and incorrect pronunciations for students who might not otherwise distinguish them easily. (That said, I have heard people pronounce Italian words that way -- and it makes me cringe!)
I am from Libya I love Italian language I love Italy🇮🇹💝🇮🇹💝🇮🇹💝🇮🇹 thanks manuael I Love your channel every day I learn new information about this beautifull language♥️
I am so appreciative of your lessons, Manu. I've just started learning Italian in preparation for a trip to Italy in February. My grandmother's family comes from a small town in Abruzzo called Bussi Sul Tirino. Very excited! Thank you so much for your clear explanations.
Sei bravissimo e sempre una fonte di ispirazione, sto imparando tanto da te per quanto riguarda il metodo di insegnamento. I tuoi video sono sempre interessanti!
Appreciate the great comparison of English versus Italian pronunciation. I've been studying just a little over a week focusing on pronunciation and its almost painful to listen to the English person mispronounce the words but its a great example of what English speakers hear in movies or the vowels we don't stress in our words.
Although the person is speaking American English and therefore not said exactly as an English person would say it, the comparison of the English way and the Italian way is brilliant. It makes me realise that I have been mispronouncing some of these words for years. Especially the ones we use in England or hear in songs. So thank you so much for this video.
Assolutamente! Quando parlo l’italiano credo nella mia testa la pronuncia è facile ma in realtà è molto difficile...dobbiamo per forza praticare! Grazie mille Manu!
This is good. As a half Italian half English person, I was laughing at the inner fight my brain was having lol. The last one sounded like a moray eel lol
Great video, thank you. My first language is Spanish and I am wondering if I can find something similar to correct my pronunciation in my situation.???? Do you speak Spanish?
Hello from Finland! I understand you make the videos, mostly, for english- speakers! I am happy, that some part of Italian lessons are easier for us, the rolled R for example! Most of our problems are: Where is the STRESS in many longer words?
I'm a Filipino and I'm pleasantly surprised at how fast I'm learning with the help of your lessons. I think the fact that the Philippines makes use of a phonetic alphabet too plays a big part in that. Also because I've spent a few months living in Italy too last summer.
Danes have a huge advantage compared to english/americans when learning italian, 'cause the wovels in danish sound almost the same like in italian (and most of the consonants too). Grazie per un buon episodio.

A very straightforward video, Manu, thanks :) For me, a Slavic speaker, Italian pronunciation is super-straightforward. What you didn't mention is aspiration. English speakers aspirate plenty of consonants (t, p, ...), whereas you, Italians, don't. For example the "t" in "Quanto". The North-American English speaker tends to say quant[h]ou, and you repeat it after him very exactly. Maybe that's too advanced for this video, right?
Very nice. I'd love a video with Spanish and Italian. haha. I know that's not your focus but I'm curious what Spanish speakers make (Spanish is my second language). Anyhow, great video. Less than 2 months til I get to use Italian in real life.
I have a question about the affricates in Italian: [d͡ʒ] and [t͡ʃ]. I know that in Italian, double consonants are geminated, similar to your one example between the words: «cappello» vs. «capello». In this example, I know that the [p] sound differs between these two words. Cappello, meaning hat, is pronounced as [kap'pεllo] vs. capello, meaning hair, is pronounced as [ka'pεllo]. My only concern is with geminated affricates. I'll use the word «faccia» and a made up Italian word «facia». Faccia is pronounced as ['fatt͡ʃa] and facia would be: ['fat͡ʃa]. In the first one, using «faccia», is there a [t] sound before the affricate: [t͡ʃ]? Or is [tt͡ʃ] just pronounced more profoundly than [t͡ʃ]?
Haha...I am an Australian living in Italy for 2 years almost...and it's so cringe hearing it...my husband says my accent isn't half that bad.. I come from a background of family from Rome, and italian learnt on italian tv , speaking with my cognata, suocera and marito plus what my kids have taught me from going to superiore.. my Italian is rough and crude but I get what I want when asking in shops 🤣🤣🇮🇹🇮🇹 THANKS FOR ALL THE TIPS AND VIDEOS💜💜
If you guys think that American accent is extreme, you should hear some of my Australian students! Their accent is very much a drawl- very drawn out vowels. We spend ages just clipping those vowels down by 3/4. All our warm up exercises are vowel sounds!
Ive been learning for two days and my pronunciation is waaaaay better than that lol. I almost feel like the english reading is intentional haha. Im not speaking ill of him or those with poor pronunciation, just hard imagining saying these words the way he is without it being intentional.
Yes, I think the popular English way of saying amore is definitely from movies and songs. May I point out one other mistake? (Even English speakers do this) ... the word pronunciation is "proNUNciation" not "proNOUNCiation". I feel a bit cheeky saying that now, but my intentions are to be helpful :D
I totally don't mean to criticize the learner in this at all because we all start from somewhere, but oof, god, I hope I don't sound like this 😂 Also thanks for this 😊 My O vowel tends to want to turn into a dipthong so this is a good reminder to be aware of that 😊 It's my closed O especially that tries to dipthong, my open O isn't usually too bad
We understand your struggle dear Cecilia! We have uploaded a mini-course for beginners and there we also explain these topics, give it a look: www.italymadeeasy.com/beginner-italian-mini-course/
Quest'uomo alla fine del ogni video può essere solo una cosa: Manu, morto stanco dopo un giorno di lavoro lunghissimo, che danza per rilassarsi e sfogarsi un po'. Dai, ammettilo, Manu!
Dice Jadwiga: Questo "madrelingua inglese" deve essere sordo! Grazee? Praygo? Mee skewsee? Kwantow coasta kwesto? Lui dovrebbe essere espulsi dalla scuola!
Scusate, I suspect the flag was confusing. We meant an native English speaker in the sense of someone whose mother tongue is English, and we used the British flag to represent the English language, since so many countries have English as their national language!
Manu explains below. The British flag is the standard symbol for English on websites that offer content in multiple languages. But yes, the speaker definitely sounds American!
I think it would be helpful if instead of hearing a really bad pronunciation, that you just paused a second for me to say the word aloud, then hear you say it properly. A few rounds of that would be amazing as I'm trying to say it correctly over the poor English pronunciation.
I'm sorry you haven't appreciate them. 😳I think that the english attempts were useful to make you hear the real italian pronunciation and which are the main problems for a english native speaker. 😉
Sorry, as a Brit, I just have to gripe about this... you give the union jack (British Flag) but have a speaker with a distinct American accent. That's just an... insult ;-) Yes, I get the notion, that Americans just pronounce things just more wrongly (as the pronounce most English words wrongly to begin with ;-) but putting the British flag next to American pronunciation... just like I put up the name of you city and the coat of arms of another provincia... o un altre regione... (per esempio, come porre il cita de Roma accanto a una bandiere de Napoli)
People who speak with such a bad accent, in my opinion they don`t care about the pronunciation. Sorry, but I couldn't stop laughing. It seems like he's pronouncing it wrong on purpose. Grazie per questo video.

OMFG 😂😂😂 That English speaker sounds like a southern drunk trying to make fun of an Italian. Those pronunciations are WAY exaggerated
I agree that they're exaggerated, but for the purpose of instruction, they're intended (I think) to strongly accentuate the differences between the correct and incorrect pronunciations for students who might not otherwise distinguish them easily. (That said, I have heard people pronounce Italian words that way -- and it makes me cringe!)
I thought the same :D
actually, I disagree... if you hear a person from the U.K. or midwest USA this is PRECISSSSAMENTA ecco come suonano le cose. jejeje 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Very good way of teaching.
Thank you so much for your message and your Support 😘

Could you d pronunciation s for frequency? Such as once a week, or every few hours, occasionally etc?
Grazie mille Manu. Ho ogni cosa correta ma la parola amore, Appena lo imparo. Grazie mille. Sei proprio un bravo insegnate.
Diphthongs are the scourge of native English speakers! Grazie, Manu!

I thinking about created a TH-cam channel and teaching Sicilian. What do u think. What are some tips? By the way your content is great.
This is good. As a half Italian half English person, I was laughing at the inner fight my brain was having lol. The last one sounded like a moray eel lol
Yes please more
Thanks! We really appreciate your feedback, Thomas ❤️
Love this video. Reminds me how much I have yet to learn but it was short and repeatableI love it .grazie
Great video, thank you. My first language is Spanish and I am wondering if I can find something similar to correct my pronunciation in my situation.???? Do you speak Spanish?
The English speaker sounds funny and I'm English! Thanks for the laugh 😅

I'm a Filipino and I'm pleasantly surprised at how fast I'm learning with the help of your lessons. I think the fact that the Philippines makes use of a phonetic alphabet too plays a big part in that. Also because I've spent a few months living in Italy too last summer.

Aiuta molto anche se si ha studiato l'italiano da molto tempo
great great great :)

It turns out i was pronouncing these properly (aside from the 'u' in cappucino) but it's still good to check to make sure :)
What is the diference between Ancora vs per , I've heard that both means "STILL" ¿?
👍
Very nice. I'd love a video with Spanish and Italian. haha. I know that's not your focus but I'm curious what Spanish speakers make (Spanish is my second language). Anyhow, great video. Less than 2 months til I get to use Italian in real life.

Polish helps with Italian: also no diphthongs (unless you add certain consonant that seem to change the vowel).

Mi scusi, ma quanto costa questo amorabile pizza margherita per favore? Grazie e buongiorno!
Per me non è complicato l'italiano perché parlo spagnolo,per me è soltanto un po' complicato il suono "gli"
Ugghh that "gli" word. 😭😭
Im still having trouble pronouncing it..
I suoni difficili in italiano sono "gl" e "gn"...
Like Briller! 😃
😄
I always make mistake pronouncing Euro in Italian... :D
Dice Jadwiga: Questo "madrelingua inglese" deve essere sordo! Grazee? Praygo? Mee skewsee? Kwantow coasta kwesto?

That 'english' sounds American. English don't speak with such a twang. And it seems exaggerated abit haha
Nicole O Scott l agree! It’s definitely not ENGLISH English! We do sound more European than that! 😂
Trust me it's not exaggerated, that's how my American classmates speak in class😂
Scusate, I suspect the flag was confusing. We meant an native English speaker in the sense of someone whose mother tongue is English, and we used the British flag to represent the English language, since so many countries have English as their national language!
Italy Made Easy thank you for explaining as it didn’t sound like a British English speaker at all
Manu explains below. The British flag is the standard symbol for English on websites that offer content in multiple languages. But yes, the speaker definitely sounds American!
Just watched this and found it help but just a comment, your English speakers accent isn't UK English its US English. This is different.
is the English speaking trump cuz it sounds like trump actually 🤣😂😅
I like every lesson Manu gives, but Please! Don't dive into the fountains! Yes! You American! With your flípflops and socks!
I think it would be helpful if instead of hearing a really bad pronunciation, that you just paused a second for me to say the word aloud, then hear you say it properly. A few rounds of that would be amazing as I'm trying to say it correctly over the poor English pronunciation.
Manu I'm laughing, the Engllish pronounciation is so obviously off- did you pick bad ones to make us feel much better? LOL.
I have never been able to "trill" my r's.non Non posso trill il miei r's
The Italian part is wrong
I liked the video, but I felt the “English” attempts were more distracting than they were helpful.
I'm sorry you haven't appreciate them. 😳I think that the english attempts were useful to make you hear the real italian pronunciation and which are the main problems for a english native speaker. 😉
Do some english speakers actually speak like that?
The English pronunciation is hella funny. It’s like their intentionally butchering the words.
Aammorree 😂
Why did you put the British flag next to that accent that was obviously not UK English?!? Magari!
Step 1 for English speakers: never make a schwa sound when speaking Italian!
Sorry, as a Brit, I just have to gripe about this... you give the union jack (British Flag) but have a speaker with a distinct American accent. That's just an... insult ;-)
Yes, I get the notion, that Americans just pronounce things just more wrongly (as the pronounce most English words wrongly to begin with ;-) but putting the British flag next to American pronunciation... just like I put up the name of you city and the coat of arms of another provincia... o un altre regione...

It was just to show that it was English
I'm very sad that he showed a British flag and an American talker
The English speaker is Irish
The english dude just sounds like a goober lol
The beep is painful. Stop it
Its an American not a British accent
People who speak with such a bad accent, in my opinion they don`t care about the pronunciation. Sorry, but I couldn't stop laughing. It seems like he's pronouncing it wrong on purpose. Grazie per questo video.
We don't want to hear the incorrect pronunciation
Most annoying thing when the typical English speaker doesn't even try to speak properly and u get that horrible accent. Its cringeeorthy.
worst accent ever!!! lol
