There's no struggle for me to understand that. :) BTW There should be a way to put the
sounds on your HTLAL profile if you want. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Alberto, you are doing great.I can understand you very easily. When I first heard you speak, you do not have much of an Italian accent, and I could not place place it, but you mentioned studying German. To my ears, you do have a slight German accent. Keep up the good work.

Alberto, you sound Italian to me. Not a very strong accent, but it's there.
I'm not sure what, exactly, you want to hear from us. Do you want advice? Or just information? Edited by Jeffers on 08 February 2014 at 4:39pm 2 persons have voted this message useful | |||

To my ears, your accent sounds more American than any other native English accent, but coloured by Hispanic American. That is, if I didn't know you were Italian and I were to guess your nationality, I'd probably have guessed that you were from Latin America.

Hi Alberto, to me is good (but I'm also Italian so it's better to rely on natives opinions).
I find impressive that you can speak with this fluency even if you never speak English. Your English sounds really American to me :) (despite I can not understand more than 5% of German seems you have a similar fluency, congratulation!) I should do something like that as well, it's a really good idea to have immediate feedback from natives! 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

To me you just sound foreign. I would have never guessed that you were Italian.
You sound good, but four words that stood out to me as mispronounced were "foreign" (you repeated that wrongly three times I think), "said" and "at least", "exercise". I think you can be proud of your English, without a doubt. Edited by pesahson on 08 February 2014 at 7:08pm 1 person has voted this message useful |
