Accent Coaching with Elissa

In this video, I sit down with Davide from @PodcastItaliano — the channel where hundreds of thousands of people go to learn and improve their Italian. But today, we're not talking about Italian. We're talking about his English!

What most people don't know is that Davide's English is impeccable and he learned it almost entirely on his own. In this conversation, we get into how he did it, the psychology behind learning a new accent, why changing the way you speak can feel like losing your identity, and what the goal of accent work should really be.

Whether you're learning English, learning Italian, or just fascinated by how language and identity intersect, this one is for you. Let me know if you like it ☺️
