ITALIAN SOUNDS + PRONOUNCIATION
i. Intro
ii. The alphabet + the sound each letter makes
iii. Combinations of letters + the sounds they make
i. Intro…
The Italian language is one of the more phonetic languages, meaning each letter (or combination of letters) only make one specific sound each.
You must also pronounce every sound possible in a word with the exception of the letter H, which is silent. For example, in the word video, you would pronounce it vee-day-oh. Even in longer words such as cinquantasette which would be pronounced Cheen-quahnta-sehteh
Of course, as mentioned with the letter H, there are some exceptions to this. For example, with the combinations of letters.
ii. The alphabet + the sound each letter makes
— the Italian alphabet is missing a few of the English alphabet letters. Namely J, K, W, X, and Y.
A - Ah
B - English B
C - English letter K
D - English D
E - eh/ay
F - English F
G - English hard G (like the word green)
H - silent
I - ee
L - English L
M - English M
N - English N
O - oh
P - English P
Q - English Q
R - rolled R
S - almost always S, almost never sounds Z
T - English T
U - OO
V - English V
Z - English Z
iii. Combinations of letters + the sounds they make
— Just like in English, Italian has some combinations of letters that change the sounds of the letters themselves. Some are harder to pronounce for foreigners.
Ci/Ce - when C is followed by an I or an E, the C sound then becomes the English CH sound. The exception to this is if there is an H between the two letters (Chi/Che). The C sound then stays the same as normal.
Gi/Ge - when G is followed by an I or an E, the hard G sound then becomes the English J sound. The exception to this is if there is an H between the two letters (Ghi/Ghe). The G sound then stays the same as normal.
Gli - the best way I can think to describe this is how the LL is pronounced in the English word million. Almost like a rounded L sound. This sound is especially hard for foreigners.
Gn - like the N in the word onion.
— some examples with these would be Cinque (five), Giorno (day), Luglio (July), Bagno (bathroom)

Hi! I’m Sara, unearthitaly on tumblr! I have a formal education in cultural and linguistic mediation and I work in the hotels in one of Italy's most developed tourist destinations, Alto Adige/South Tyrol. I embody some sort of "bridge" between Italian and other cultures professionally but also vocationally. I like to help Italophiles discover Italy beyond the obvious and I share tips on travel, culture, lifestyle and language.
You can also find me on my blog, Instagram and Threads. A presto!

100 Day of Productivity - Day 3/100
I dont know why but at the moment I am not fully processing time or days - perhaps my winter holiday has gone on too long. I thought I had uploaded yesterday buttt nope.. were 4 days later.
Today was a fairly good day!! My partner hasnt been feeling well so I cleaned our kitchen and lounge, went to the shops to get shopping and helped them feel better :) Its been a really nice day.
Also I thought my classes started today but apparently theyre starting next week instead??? Oh well! Another week off I suppose.
I also bought Dracula as I want to get more into gothic literature and started reading 'Welcome to the Hyunam-Dong Bookshop". So far im enjoying it but its quite slow and kinda describes stuff in a strange way. overall a fan so far!
Anyways! End of post <3
100 Days of Productivity- Day 2/100
10/1/24
Hello!! Today wasn’t overly productive. My partner had some not great news so me, him and his sister went out for the afternoon. We got some shopping and it was a nice day out. Didn’t get much done other than that :) just some washing and cleaning
100 Days of Productivity- Day 1 of 100
Okay so I VERY much failed my first 100 days of productivity challenge but!! New year new goals and my goal this year is to become an absolute nerd, total academic weapon and I’m SO excited. The beginning of January was my birthday so I gave myself a break until this week where I’ve been started to refocus towards studying!

I feel so bad at how awful I've been at updating recently!! Decembers been a lot of energy, especially with christmas coming up so Ive been so preoccupied and haven't been in the mood to post (or just straight up forgotten ;-;) so today ill do my yesterday post and try to slowly get back on track..
If I'm not consistently uploading by the new year tho I might just restart.
