Italy Made Easy well I'm half Sicilian and I was raised Irish didn't know my father and I would like to know about my other half and learn language better so I appreciate these videos gratzi
Italy Made Easy love the video. I also like to take every consenant and add every vowel to it. It helps to cover most sounds.
Please i need u one on one
Thomas Carroll The correct spelling for Thank you in Italian is Grazie and not Gratzi
Love from Sri Lanka.. Thanks
Grazie
Really great explanation of a really common challenge. In English we switch around the vowel sounds, tones, lengths etc, and Italian is much more consistent! I’ve been told several times not to talk ‘so expressively’ and to ne more ‘flat,’ and your description of the consistency of verbs was an ah-ha moment for me. Grazie Manu!
El mejor enseñando italiano Manu! Los mejores videoos y bastante entendibles, siempre Gracias!
This is golden. I just started learning last week and just realized that I’m 100% guilty of this lol and I’m thankful I came across your video! Grazie mille!
Another great instructional video for this American. Grazie mille Manu
I love this video. Thanks for your good work
This is great. Thank you!!!
Semplicemente bravo!!
You’re the best teacher on the net 🙏🏻♥️
Grazie mille! Im so thankful for the videos you made. Please create more italian lessons for me.
Not only I learn so much from your videos as I'm also in a better mood after watching your videos :D I love the way you're teaching Italian
You make a great point around 1:50; there is nobody doing some of the theory you are doing. It’s almost like you have a sixth sense about the troubles a learner of language goes through. Thank you.
Manu, I have been thinking that pronunciation was the least of my worries, but yesterday I wanted to use the expression you taught us "e che cavolo" with one of my speaking partners and my pronunciation was so bad that I said "e che cavallo" which he didn't understand until I explained it in English....he laughed for 5 minutes and then he pulled himself together and we practiced saying it correctly. It was really great but thank you for this lesson!
joee balestrieri Hi Joee, I have an Italian friend who I Skype with. We met him in Italy. Would like to Skype with another native speaker. What is the best way to find someone? Best wishes Jan Keeys
Well, pronunciation IS the #1 thing we need to focus on with Italian!!! Help is on its way, don't worry!!
Jan Keys "yes Jan, thank you I would love it. I have 9 speaking partners now but I still don't practice every day because of the time difference. I'm having problems with SKYPE. Nobody can find my account...technicians are trying to fix it....2 weeks now! I can send contact requests but sometimes the other person doesn't see it. You are so sweet to offer this! Grazie mille!
It is difficult because KZhead comments are public so putting contact information on here is a bit of a risk...the whole world can see it! I haven't figured out what to do about this. I have wondered if Manu could help somehow so that his students could safely contact each other.
Bless you.thank you.

Ciao, Manu! La mia madrelingua e polacca e il modo di pronuncia delle vocali e molto simile di quello italiano - questo mi aiuta molto a imparare l'italiano. Grazie per tutte le tue spiegazioni bravissime, sono molto utili! :)
❤️
Grazie per questo video. È molto utile!!
Grazie!
Thank you so much for this lesson! I have been trained in classical music including many an Italian aria. I learned in these classes to over accentuate my vowels and to put way to much emphasis on them. I am traveling to Italy in 4 months and was SO grateful to have found your classes. You just saved me a lot of time and confusion. Thanks again!

lol i love that this is so easy for me cause I already know Spanish
Lucky you!!!! But don't forget the Italian open sounds for E and O!
That's how I chose Italian, because I know Spanish lol.
This is a really good video. I know Spanish too, and trust me that this tips are useful even if you speak Spanish. I have classmates that haves the same problems and we all speak Spanish in the class.
Me too
Wow, just watching this short clip about the vowel rules has made me so much more confident with my pronunciation. And I’ll definitely tone things down a bit! Thank you!
❤️
Italian vowels are pronounced like we pronounce them in Mãori. Mãori are from New Zealand.
Grazie Manu! Il tuo approccio e la gentilezza significa un sacco.
Grazie a te, Michael!! I appreciate your kind words!
Thank you

Grazie a te Gianna!! Continua a studiare e guardare il mio canale!

Thanks to you, Laughcrime!
helpful as always!!!!
😊
Grazie mille, professore. Un altro abbonato per te.
Grazie a te, Gustavo R!
Great lesson! Italian language in this way seems very simile to French: where all the syllables are quite equal otherwise English or Russian with their Morse code rhythm in fact.
Italian pronunciation is so easy for Turkish people.
都讲急眼了哈哈😄 haha, I’m truly agree with that what u are saying in this video！
awesome video, the best KZhead Channel to lrn italian
Grazie mille, Samba! Spread the word!! ^_^
I was totally doing that! IN fact a followup would be nice where you give more contrast examples ie. bad & good with same word!
Italian pronounciation same with my language (Indonesian and javanese)
These videos are really great!! I want to study abroad in Italy one day so I needed this 🤓🤗
😍
Manu, sei un bravo insegnante.
Grazie a te, Steven Degli Angeli!
English is a stress timed language, so I believe it is hard for English speakers to learn how to give equal weight to all the syllables of a word. It is normal for us to put more weight on one syllable and then to speed up, clip, and elide unstressed syllables so that the rhythm consistently falls on stressed syllables when we speak. I used to conduct in 4/4 during my teachers' lectures sometimes, and virtually always, the stressed syllables would always end up on the beats of the conducting pattern. Stress is our defining rhythmic feature, moreso than vowel quality and word length. So, we naturally overstress when we speak in other languages.
love your shirt!
Oops, l forgot to say that l am a great fan of your videos and really enjoy your embracing approach to language teaching!
Thanks to you, Bo Krarup!
KZhead just recommend this video, it's great because I want to watch more content in English and also I want to learn Italian
😊
Ciao non parlo in italiano. Vorrei andare al Italia e tuoi video mi aiutano. grazie!
Lol! Troppo emozionante quando diciamo cose
Manu, Ti ringrazio tanto per questo video! Ogni tanto pensavo e non sono riuscita a capire perche la pronuncia e abbastanza facile ma gli Italiani suonano sempre come gli Italiani. Ecco... Il segreto e aprire i vocali di piu e dirli in modo piu chiaro! Grazie tanto! :)
Grazie Kasia, continua a provare e giorno dopo giorno andrà sempre meglio! :)
This is great! I'm trying to educate myself before going to Italy, since it's always more fun to know at least a little of the native language when visiting a new country. Grazie mille!!
Grazie mille, Chelsea Mulligan! Happy to be helping!
I have recently started learning the language and my Italian friends say I have a good accent. I think the problem starts if you don't have a teacher, or someone to correct you (or speak with). Language books say in most cases to emphasize the second last vowel, ie: andiAmo. So students may string the words together like a song 'StasEra andiAmo Al cinEma", then there are exceptions like "cInema"where the 'i' is emphasized. So this video is really good, because it gives students an idea that a certain vowel is emphasized, but this is not to be exaggerated. I still probably make loads of mistakes with pronounciation, by learning all the exceptions. sAbato, il tAvolo, la mAcchina and so on.
Ciao Manu, ti faccio i miei complimenti perché spieghi davvero bene, io sono Italiano ma la mia fidanzata è straniera (Olandese) dunque sono contento che tu sia in grado di spiegare bene in inglese ciò che è importante imparare! Complimenti complimenti complimenti 👏👏👏
Grazie mille per i complimenti! Ci piace ricevere dei feedback anche dagli italiani! 😍
Great video. Unfortunately I only speak Eolian dialect. And still from Australia they have no idea about my Terrible accent. I'll practice what you taught. Grazie
Penso che abbia ragione - i stereotipi culturali influenzano molto la percezione dell'Italia negli Stati Uniti
It is very recommended for foreigners to try to speak slowly for better understanding. It is a good tip for any language.
Buen video, se entiende muy bien. En pocos meses estaré preparada para hablar italiano :) Saludos desde Perú sigue adelante!
Grazie mille, Alondra Sanchez! Sono contento di aiutarti!
You are an amazing teacher! If you were in my school I’d nominate you for teacher of the year!
❤️
The music of the language...
Grazie mille. I realise now where some of my mistakes lie. Ciao !
😊
Mamma Mia trying to learn Italian is Difficult because Italians Speak fast string the words together....
When I was a lot younger I took Spanish lessons and it seems to have helped with most of the basic pronunciation in Italian. I think one small part of the over-pronunciation of vowels, for me at least, might come from the difficulty in transitioning directly from one vowel to another; for instance the transition in "ovest e est." I know it would be smooth for someone proficient in Italian but I know I have a tendency to trip over those pesky vowel-to-vowel transitions. Time and experience will help, I guess.
I speak Arabic, and i love Italian language so much
😊
this video reminds me when I watched The Godfather in the original language (i'm italian). it was fascinating to listen actors like Robert De Niro speaking italian but actually that wasn't realy italian for the most. However, I really enjoyed the effort!
Sei il miglior!
😘
Thank you for this very interesting video ! I've been learning Italian for 1 month and it was indeed one of my mistake... I'll be careful about that now ! ;)
Grazie mille, JanFee! Happy to be helping!
For me, it's the pronunciation of the letter "L" and the letter "R" when it's in the middle of a word. For example, with "L", when Americans use "L", as in the word "lava", we put the tip of our tongue on the buttom of our front teeth. But when Italians use it, they seem to roll their tongue beack to where the bottom of it is touching the roof of their mouth, almost giving it a more elegant sound (like how you roll the "R", but without the vibration). I try to make my "L's" sound like this, because it's a dead giveaway that you're an American trying to speak Italian, but it's hard for me. With the "R's", I'm fine if it's at the begging of the word, but when it comes in the middle, it's hard for me to transition to the rolling of the tongue in the middle of a word. The "O" can be hard sometimes too because if I'm speaking faster I say it like the American "O" instead of the Italian one...they're similar, but you can tell the difference.
You’re the man, my I went from sounding like a stereotypical New York pizza man to sounding like a westerner with a decent grasp of the language😂
i love your videos :-)
Grazie mille!
Grazie per questo video. Io parlo come un americano. Questo video mi aiuta.
Grazie a te, Jerry!!
So glad I found your channel! Just learned that I’ve been pronouncing my own name wrong this whole time 😂
😂
I have no problem with the vowels or the intonation; I mainly have issue with more difficult things like when R comes either before or after very specific letters, and makes it hard to pronounce a particular word, or one word after another, for example. I need a video that addresses pronunciation improvement for advanced learners. Is it possible you could make one?
