Dear collegue
I would like to remind you that the speech of non-native English speakers may exhibit pronunciation characteristics that result from transferring the phonological rules from their mother tongue into their English speech ("interference") or through implementing strategies similar to those used in primary language acquisition. They may also create innovative pronunciations for English sounds not found in the speaker �s first language.Moreover Italian phonology is very complex. You are a teacher and I hope you can understand how difficult is for a non- native speaker to learn a foreign language.
I think that the little story is funny but it could be applied to an Argentinian an Austrian, a Brazilian, a Moroccan, a French, a Spanish etc.,
In addition I think that it�s always wrong to stereotype people above all when some rules could be applied to ourselves!

Yeah I know that italian is very difficult and complex language..And I always love Italian people..It could have been to Turkish as well..It is not a video for insulting any country..It is about a pity man who was understood by people and..He is still very cute and doesn �t understand what happens and why people are angry with him..
we are english teachers but English is not our native language..We can be understood if we go to USA or England..Can �t we? if the video hurt you i m sorry about it OK?
