I saw that too! Javier Bardem sounds great to me... but maybe I was listening more with my eyes. ;) 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

A vote just because you got that! He does sound great... The first time I saw the add, it took me a second to realize it was his voice, that he wasn't dubbed. He has excellent pronunciation, with a slight difference in the melody of his voice. But he is awesome.
If I may say something on the Cypriot accent: yes it's different and very distinctive. I think it's very melodic, more that modern athenian/attic. So are accents from Crete, northern Greece, different islands etc. It's been like that since ancient times, the variety I mean, and some accents and dialects go strong, others tend to fade. I personally feel very sorry for that. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Thank you :) Yes I've seen it and at first I couldn't tell If he was dubbed or not. But you see he's Spanish (one of the categories I mentioned that really sound like Greeks if they want to). As for the course. I'm really amazed that you say he's from Cyprus. For those who know..Is this a Cypriot accent or not? I wouldn't know. I can tell Thessaloniki style or Crete accent etc. He just sounded foreign and the girl too. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

His pronunciation of some English words raised some questions for me as well. For example, sometimes in English it sounds like he pronounces "th" sounds like an "f" or a "v". That's not something I would expect a Greek speaker to do.
In addition, the student in the first section pronounces the letters τ, ντ, δ and θ like θ. I don't know what her native language is. Perhaps French. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Hi Luna! I'm also new to the forum, hope you've enjoyed settling in as much as I have :)
Exciting that you're from Greece, I haven't found anyone who has Greek mother tongue yet. Greek is top of my hit list. Things in life are a little busy at the moment to properly start it, but knowing there are a few speakers on the forum already is comforting! Good luck with everything :) 1 person has voted this message useful |
