Hello everyone, I've been studying English since I was a child, but I've always struggled with pronunciation. This year, I decided to work on it by reading lots of articles and texts aloud. However, I need a native speaker to read them for me so that I can mimic their pronunciation and truly improve mine. I was thinking about an exchange: I can read various texts in Italian for an English British speaker who is studying Italian and wants to improve their pronunciation, and they can do the same for me with English texts. Let me know if anyone is interested

Have you considered lessons? Teaching pronunciation is a subspeciality within language teaching. A highly qualified pronunciation teacher has training in articulatory phonetics and phonology. Standard Italian has 31 sounds (phonemes), whereas English has 44+ depending on the dialect. Common problems for Italian speakers include adding an “uh” at the end of a word (dog sounds like doguh) and not producing the 15 vowels accurately (beet/bit sound the same). All of this is easy to correct. Good luck!
