Hope you enjoy them

Very nice!

A couple of observations, though...

at 1:14, "azienda vitivinicola" is mispronounced by having the accent on vitivini-co'-la whereas the accent should be on vitivi-ni'-cola;

at 2:43, "Garganega" is mispronounced; it sounds as though the lovely, young, bespectacled Valentina is saying "Garganga" omitting the "e" ("eh" sound) between the "n" and "g" (after the the second syllable);

at 3:39, Montalcino (Mon-tahl-cee'-noh) sounds mispronounced as Mon-tel-cee-noh;

at 4:00, Valentina mispronounces "Montepulciano" (with the accent erroneously on the third syllable: "Mon-te-pul'-cia-no") when pronouncing "Montepulciano d'Abbruzzo" although she pronounced it correctly (with the accent on: "Mon-te-pul-cia'-no") several times before when pronouncing the wine "Vino Nobile di Montepulciano." The pronunciation of "Montepulciano" is identical whether speaking of Montepulciano d'Abbruzzo or Vino Nobile di Montepulicano;

at 6:34, Valentina mispronounces "Teroldego"; it sounds as though she is saying "Teroldgo" omitting the "e" ("eh" sound) between the the "d" and "g" (after the second syllable).

Thanks Marco. Looks like I'll have to start on a Version 3.

I spent a lot of time on Teroldego and Garganega. I know exactly what you are saying though but I couldn't get it any better.

They were actually written as Gar-gaárn-nhga and Tehrohl-dhgo

I'll keep tinkering.

Stupid machine

Thanks for the feedback on the others. I'll try and sort them.

It is these regional accents you see

Warren:

The video is very well done, and Valentina's Italian (and her wine-related pronunciation) is otherwise flawless. I figured that you were dealing with computer gadgetry and that this was the cause of some of the variations. I was nitpicking (though I hope it helps); your video is an excellent tutorial!

Cordially,
marco

An interesting exercise writing English for Italian speakers and vice versa.
