To my untrained ear Italian is the best sounding continental language if I'm being totally honest with you.
>>
>>68629546
Same,German is probably my second favourite
>>
>>68629546
would agree with your untrained ear

He was portrayed as a lunatic in the media and got only 1~2% of votes.

Nowadays everyone looks at him and regret the chance we had to save Brazil being gone forever.
>>
>>68629546
Listen to Vittorio Gassman. He speaks the "standard italian" which is the italian with a perfect accent devoid of regionalisms that almost nobody can speak lol

Forgot to mention: he died.

>>68629788
He seems pretty based. I don't follow politics to much though so what he was saying went over my head.

Very good english yes
>>
>>68629948
All English speakers sound relatively the same speaking foreign languages. Just like Romance speakers typically make the same mistakes in English.
The problem with most Germanic language speakers speaking Romance languages is they are syllabic times, the vowels much shorter etc. So English speakers tend to fuck up the Romance vowels by making them two sounds and we're typically not going at flowing sentences.

>>68629546
It truly is

>>68630097
not good*
>>
>>68630097
very interesting, example?
>>
>>68629546
french for me, there's just something so soothing and pleasant about it
dont tell them though
>>
>>68629948

NIce question. I honestly don't have an opinion about it, there's no social stigma about it. English speakers have trouble pronouncing clean vowels (italian has less vowels and they all sound like the "a" in "car" rather than the "i" in "first", so they sound a bit drunk I guess.

Had an English teacher that told us at the beginning he was very self-conscious about his mistakes while speaking italian, and people always told him (ma dai dai) which means "come on come on" and is a way to say "it's no big deal", but it's pronounced like "die" so he thought they were telling him to kill himself lol

Kek

And I thought, that my English was broken.
>>
>>68629948
>>68630350
Besides the vowels, there's also the R (Anglophones have trouble pronouncing it) and the prosody, Italian often shortens unstressed vowels far more than English.

But I don't know the actual way English speakers sound when trying Italian.
