      Raphael, the pronunciation of Moschino it's wrong I'm afraid, it's 'mos-key-no', the c is hard. Ermenegildo Zegna is a bit off, but only and Italian would notice it I think. Your Italian pronunciation is great anyway.

      That said though, "peasant" is not synonymous with "farmer" exactly, it means "a poor smallholder or agricultural labourer of low social status". So a rich farmer is not a peasant, for example.

    I can really tell that you have German roots (which I already assumed from your surname), your German in fact is just perfect. Also your French is quite accurate. Your Italian is not that bad, but still clearly spoken by a foreigner. The g in Ermenegildo was wrong. And Moschino was really totally mispronounced. 😋 Still, I think you are overall really skilled even in languages. Way above the average.

      In my opinion, so long as you say it close to the source language's pronunciation, you're doing better than most. Even though I likely still butcher the pronunciation of foreign words, at least attempting to say them properly is better than shoehorning them into an already messy language's rules.

      Alpha Fort I think it’s appropriate to say brand names in your accent when it makes sense. Some people in their naïveté pronoun American brands such as Ralph Lauren - Ralph Luh - Rahn as if it’s French. Granted his last name really was Lifshitz. Unless the pronunciation is so butchered it’s unrecognizable I’d stick with my Americanized regional way. If I’m corrected by someone who knows better I’ll accept. Or if I’m mispronouncing the name of someone personally. Of course out of respect I will try. Other than that I think there are other linguistic details in common everyday usage I’d rather focus on. Honestly, I watch the first two minutes out of curiosity and then I realize life is too short to focus on pronouncing name brands correctly. I’d rather expand my vocabulary by being well read. Learn better Spanish (I live in California) and relax… Rather than worry about whether people think I’m pronouncing brand names correctly. Signing off, still a peasant and proud!
