Signor Berlusconi. When adding a last name to Signore you drop the "e" of Signore. So it's Signor Berlusconi invece di(instead of) Signore Berlusconi. Signor Rossi. Signor Doroni. Signor Shandra.

A proposito. (By the way.) Italian "gn" is pronounced just like Spanish "ñ" as in la niña.

So Signor Berlusconi sounds just like the Spanish Señor Berlusconi. Piu o meno.

Italian gn=Spanish ñ.

For English speakers gn sounds like canyon. (yon)

thanks villa , I do have some problems with pronouncing some words like cagliari I didn't know that it's the city till I heard it and the difference between Z in piazza and grazie , there is a slight difference i guess . I remembere that last semester we took a short story called (cat in the rain ) I'm not sure , anyway I remember that the girls were pronouncing (signore) with the (g) which upsets the doctor and me lool.
I liked the video . I wish I can pronounce the words like him , most of the words are stressed somehow , I can't do that

The reason you or anybody learning Italian can't pronounce Italian well is a thing or term called "language interference". In your case interference from
your native English influence. Samething with a native Italian speakers learning English. With lots of practice through oral out loud Italian reading,
listening to Italian often your accent and pronunciation of Italian will or can improve.

Language interference (also known as L1 interference) is the effect of language learners’ first language on their production of the language they
are learning. The effect can be on any aspect of language: grammar, vocabulary, accent, spelling and so on. It is most often discussed as a source
of errors (negative transfer), although where the relevant feature of both languages is the same, it results in correct language production
(positive transfer). The greater the differences between the two languages, the more negative the effects of interference are likely to be.
It will inevitably occur in any situation where someone has not mastered a second language.

Language interference often results in an English distictive to a learners first language. It is often easy to determine a non-native
English speakers first language by the mistakes they commonly make in syntax, word choice, and especially pronunciation.

The mistakes we native English speakers make while trying to speak Italian are very predictable indeed.

For starters learn to say the Italian vowels. A - ah, E - eh, I - ee, O - oh, U - oo - ma me mi mo mu - mah, meh, me, moh, moo
