Anyone know of any audio examples of #Italian as spoken by #ItalianAmericans who grew up speaking it? I got curious as there seems to be a dearth of general info on what their speech is like. The best I could find was this very short clip of #RockyMarciano speaking Italian. Most everything else seems to be people who grew up in Italy before migrating or who learned the language later in life.
