๐Ÿ Italian Accent Test: How Good Is Your Italian Accent?

Italian-accented English adds little vowels to the ends of words and has a big, musical pitch range. Hands and voice move together.

โ€œMamma mia, you put pineapple on the pizza? Why would you do this to me?โ€

The judge scores how close you sound, whether you keep it up, your commitment, and whether you stick to the line. Up to 10 seconds, free, no sign-up.

How to do a Italian accent

  1. Add a short 'a' or 'e' after final consonants: 'pizza-a', 'what-a', 'make-a'.
  2. Tap or roll the R clearly in every position.
  3. Swing the pitch widely, rising on the question and falling hard on the outrage.
  4. Keep vowels open and pure: 'ee' for 'i' in 'this' ('thees').

The most common mistake

Overdoing the added vowels on every word; use them on words that end in consonants.

Warm up with this

โ€œMy nonna would-a never put cream in the carbonara, never!โ€
