Roberto's dialect

Ciao,

Despite reportedly both coming from Rome, Maria and Roberto (from the Premium Plus course) seem to have different dialects. For example, in lesson 8.4, Maria pronounces "Corso Marconi" as it is written, whereas Roberto pronounces it as if it were "Cortso Marconi". Could it be that Roberto grew up in a different region of Italy, and if so which one?

Cheers,
Mike

Ciao Mike,

thank you for your post.
I confirm you that Maria and Roberto are both from Rome but Roberto has a stronger accent.
I hope this doesn't confuse you too much as even people from the same area can pronounce words in a slightly different way.
All the best for your Italian learning!
Ciao
