Review my English.

[Conso1727]

As I said in the presentation topic, i'm from Italy, so English is not my first language.
I started making videos in English (or International, as I call them) only recently, and I'm not sure yet if my english can be understood.
What I ask to you reviewers is to look at any of my international videos, and tell me if you understand clearly what I am saying.
I ask you to be brutal in judging too, my plan is to release high-quality content for the most.
Thank you for reading.

I like your accent

Hi

I'll be honest and say it is difficult to understand what you are saying.

Having an Italian accent is not a problem IMO, on the contrary, it's a nice accent and it makes your videos unique, but wrong pronunciation is a problem and people might stop watching because they have to concentrate too hard.

Your level of English is good. You are not making many grammar mistakes. You have excellent vocabulary and you speak fluently, but you are mis-pronouncing quite a few English sounds.

For example in 1 of your videos, you say the word "micro" this should be pronounced like the name "Mike" + RO at the end. But you pronounced it like meecro. I understood what you were trying to say because I am used to hearing french people speaking English and they pronounce it the same way, but native English speakers not used to hearing Italians or French speak English would not understand.


My immediate advice would be to slow down when you speak and articulate more. You are speaking too quickly and you are falling over yourself.

If you have a written transcript of one of your videos, then if you like, send it me via PM, and I'll upload an audio file of me reading it so you can hear the correct pronunciation. That might help for your future videos

Even in Italian I have this problem of the reading too fast. I usually write down the stuff I have to say, I appreciate your interest in helping me, but I'd like to do on my own. I will try to speak a bit slower next time, thanks for the advice.
EDIT:Maybe talking slower will help me avoiding mispelled english words too, we'll see

I understand most of it no problem.

Your intro is way too long at 20-21 seconds. It needs to be way shorter at 5-8 seconds. This is a common rule to keep viewers.

I think you have a point, but the music is too awesome... I will come up with something.
