Ok, so here’s the little guide I promised you in my last post. :) I realise this definitely should have come a long time ago, like at the beginning of my blog, but I didn’t really think about it.
Anyway, this is going to come directly from my guidebook, same examples and everything. It’ll show you the letter or letter combination in Italian, and a word that exemplifies the pronunciation.
Here it is:
a: cat
e: air
i: sip
o: fox
u: soup
ci or ce: chart
gi or ge: joy
gli: million
gn: Tanya
qu: quick (you always pronounce the u)
For instance, Ciao (which can mean either an informal “hi” or “bye”) is pronounced ‘chaow.’ And things like Monte, you do have to pronounce the ‘e’ on the end.
I think that’s about it. If you need to know anything else, let me know! :)
