These videos are the absolute best for learning pronunciation of languages. Thank you so much for your work!! I am always so amazed by how quickly I’m able to pick up the pronunciation tactics and sound significantly more accustomed to the language just by watching one video
Great video, thanks! Note that the image for pronouncing the palatal nasal 'gn' in gnocchi shows correct articulation for the tongue but the velar flap is closed - it should be open for a nasal sound.
Interesting video! Just a suggestion, let a native pronounce the Italian words, as the explained sounds are not bad, but the vowels are far too long, they indeed sound like the stereotypical imitation of Italian by English speakers (e.g. how 'papa' is pronounced).
Great tutorial. Expert explanations! My only question is really about the two types of r's I've heard them produce differently. Here the rolled r sounds like the spanish rolled r and I belive theyre different.
Great video that clears up a lot of confusion for me, however, it moves a bit fast (despite the fact I can pause the video). This will merit watching several times as I continue to learn.
I feel like the way one makes some sounds, like the d and t sounds are quite similar to how they’re made in Spanish. At least that’s the impression I get.

These should be useful as training (better tricks than "Prince of Prussia"), even copy them on Google Translate is useful for listen to the pronunciation difference and repeat the "erre" in the right way (listening the English version is also very hilarious).
Start with a d, (English version of d), and then practice moving from the d into the r. They both use the front of your tongue at the front of your mouth.
+Oscar Nehm Absolutely not! 99,99 % of Italians pronunce it in the correct way, and only in the area of the town Palermo you can listen pronunced in the wrong way, and they are teased for this.
Il domatore di vongole do u know how is gli supposed to be pronouced? it's supposed to be a lateral, which means that the air comes from the lateral side of the tongue, but unlike the l sound, it's also palatal, which means that the middle section of the tongue reach the palate, but clearly a lot of italians don't pronounce it as a lateral, because the air comes from the middle section of the tongue
Has or would anyone her done the "Fluent Forever" language course? As in the App. I'm doing the Duolingo for Italian and it's ok but not really sticking in my head.
Hi Peter, Feel free to try our app and method for yourself. You can download it on your phone if you have Android 7 or newer or iOS 10 or newer, and you can get 14 days for free. If you don't like it, feel free to cancel within those 14 days.
Hi Peter! The app is currently developed for smartphones only and it's not available for laptops/desktops, but we will definitely be looking into this possibility in the future.
The word gnocco does not seem to match its IPA representation, which has a long /o/ sound instead of a "long k". Should it not be something like /ˈɲɔk.ko/? Also, in the diagram for the palatal nasal /ɲ/, the back of the soft palate should be lowered, with the uvula not touching the back, in order to allow the air through the nose.
Hi Arish, even though Hindi is not one of our supported languages, once we add the "learn any language" feature, you will be able to learn it with our app and method. Here is how that will work: help.fluent-forever.com/hc/en-us/articles/360004710571-How-will-the-app-handle-unsupported-languages-
La s ha due possibili pronunce e anche la z; ma occorre spiegare che in italiano non ci sono differenze grafiche tra i due modi di pronunciare questi foni. Per esempio esistono due parole omografe ma non omofone: razza. Nel senso di "varietà umana" abbiamo la promumcia "rattsa" ("ts" è il modo per indicare la z sorda, cioè quella che viene pronunciata senza far vibrare le corde vocali; l'altra t serve per indicare che il suono è doppio, ma vale per l'intero digramma) Nel caso della parola "razza" che indica una specie di animale marino, la pronuncia della z è sonora cioè presenta vibrazione delle corde vocali; l'alfabeto internazionale segna questo fatto con il diframma "dz" in alfabeto fonetico internazionale la z indica la s sonora, cioè la s pronunciata facendo vibrare le corde vocali; per quella in cui le corde vocali non vibrano si usa la lettera s.

I guess Im pretty off topic but does anybody know of a good site to watch new movies online?
@Quinn Messiah I would suggest Flixzone. Just search on google for it =)
@Adonis Lochlan Definitely, been watching on Flixzone for since april myself =)
@Adonis Lochlan thank you, I went there and it seems like a nice service :) Appreciate it!
@Quinn Messiah glad I could help :D
Didn't you find a better word than 'sbarbarsi'?😂😂😂
I had a hard time with the [t.t] and [k.k] and [p.p] geminates of stops. This helped a lot.
Grazie mille per questo video. Capisco Italiano, ma sempre parlo con un accento americano. Grazie a te, ora so il perché.

Thank you very much for the great video! I never knews that (gli) or (gn) in the iddle of a word were always long. Thanks!
Wow, this is incredible insight and must have taken a lot of work. Thanks.
D 1:42, T 2:15, P 2:41, C 2:49, : L 2:55, GE 3:54, CI 4:16,
Your pronunciation is almost perfect, congrats! Just a little hint: drop the stereotypical "Italian accent"... no one speaks that way.
Hey, that's a lot to ask from a non-native speaker, alright? Jeez.
Yeah you do
They why teach how to master Italian pronunciation? Your comment makes no sense.
Could you tell us whether you are a native speaker of Italian, or if not, what are your qualifications for saying this?
Rebecca Hicks Ofcourse he is ,read his last name it is *stereotype Italian accent* Spadavecchiaaaa xD
Great tutorial. Expert explanations! My only question is really about the two types of r's I've heard them produce differently. Here the rolled r sounds like the spanish rolled r and I belive theyre different.
PHENOMENAL practical techniques! Tysm!!
You're welcome!
Very good information but a bit quick. Please explain the dz phonogram and the gelato.
I don’t understand the distinct.
Would you please to a video on Irish phonetics?
This is what I was looking for, very thanks. Greetings from Perú.
Great video that clears up a lot of confusion for me, however, it moves a bit fast (despite the fact I can pause the video). This will merit watching several times as I continue to learn.
Thanks. It was helpful . God bless you.
great Italian pronunciation.
🤩
excellent explanation
Please make videos on Greek , Latin and Sanskrit pronounciation.

Thank you very much , I love your presentation !
very informative video
I feel like the way one makes some sounds, like the d and t sounds are quite similar to how they’re made in Spanish. At least that’s the impression I get.
So somehow when I want to do the r trill, my uvular trills instead like the french r. Any suggestions?
On google translator you can hear the right pronunciation.
Something like: drrr ... prrr ...
I'm italian
thrrr... phrrr... ?

Except for that one R sound this is super easy so far.
Definitely, the R sound is a hard one to grasp!
The gli sound would deserve further discussion though - As for me at least, I have a really hard time:(
Arthur Don't worry, southerners italians can't do it, they pronounce it like Y
Elisa, sbagli alla grande: solo a Palermo è così.
Arthur I think that most italians nowadays don't pronounce gli as suggested in the video, as for ll in spanish, but more similar to a y, as in spanish
+Oscar Nehm
Absolutely not! 99,99 % of Italians pronunce it in the correct way, and only in the area of the town Palermo you can listen pronunced in the wrong way, and they are teased for this.

What about "c" vs "cc" ?
the consonant /t/ is different in Italian is almost retroflex but is not, the IPA missed it, as this sound is a phoneme in some languages
fatah Tani
It's not retroflex...... go listen to some Indic languages
so nice bro

Jaime Benito de Valle Ruiz ma fatti meno seghe mentali valà
Same same
[k.k] and [k:] are slightly different. [k.k] without more diacritics is inaccurate because the first k isn't released.
@@elisaamato1624 If you're not mature enough to talk about linguistics seriously then don't annoy those who actually want to.

We only have one R mate. Birra Simply has a double, hence a stop before, to sound jt
In realtà l'italiano ha 2 modi per dire la R. Per noi italiani il suono è lo stesso ma per un linguistica c'è una differenza
That's the way you perceive it. In fact they're different sounds :/
Sir please make on hindi language

I was trying to say "Padre", my tongue could not do that hard d
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Germinated constants?
Thank god I know Latin.
Z is not like sbarbarsi, which is written and pronunced with the S. I'm italian hahaha Z is more like Zanzara.
not a probl! ^^
Don't listen to him, he's thinking about spelling and doesn't realize the different sounds. Lascia la linguistica a chi ha studiato, grazie.
It's correct the sound Z for sbarbarsi, because the letter S have two sounds and one is z in IPA.
you're italian but surely you don't know anything about phonetic,do you?

When you demonstrate the pronunciation of a sound, don't just demonstrate once. You should demonstrate it 5 to 10 times continually.
bruh you sound like an american trying to speeck italiannn
What the heck, this is not Italian accent. Ritirati
