Incorrect pronunciation can change the meaning of a word. To pronounce double consonants correctly you must hold the repeated letter a beat longer. Really hit it and hold it! Cappello = hat Cappelli = hats Capello = a single hair Capelli = hair Other words to watch out for: Palla = ball / Pala = shovel Caro = expensive / Carro = wagon Sera = evening / Serra = greenhouse Penna = Pen / Penne = pens / Pena = suffering / pene = a man’s private part LOL!!! So watch out! Instead of asking for a bunch of pens you could be asking for more than you bargained for! P.S. The only way to learn how to pronounce and write double sounds correctly is to read a lot and listen to films and audio books so that you can associate a sound with the way it’s spelled naturally.
