English to Italian Words
ITALIAN PRONUNCIATION
Italian is relatively easy to pronounce for English-speaking people, due primarily to the fact that written
Italian closely reflects the sounds of spoken Italian. While there are hundreds of dialects spoken throughout
Italy, the standard Italian dialect is the Italian that is taught and understood throughout Italy.
HINTS FOR BETTER ITALIAN PRONUNCIATION
1. The letters "gn" sound like the "ni" of onion. Examples: bagno, signore, montagna, compagnia
2. The letters "gli" sound like the "lli" in the English word million. Examples: famiglia, figlia, biglietto
3. The double "rr" is always trilled. Examples: terra, pianterreno, carro
4. The letters "sci" sound like English "she" and "see" sound like "shay." Examples: scena, scienza,
scendere, scimmia
5. The letters "ci" sound like English "chee" and "ce" sound like "chay." Examples: cinque, celibe, cento,
certo
6. The letters "chi" sound like "key." Examples: chianti, occhio, Fontecchio
7. Double consonants are not pronounced twice, but simply longer. Examples: buffo, commercio, awocato,
osso, donna, gruppo
8. Accent marks occur only if the word is to be stressed at the end. Examples: titta, virtu, piu
PHONETIC APPROXIMATIONS
Remember: The phonetic approximations only approximate the sounds of Italian. Use them to assist you
with the pronunciation when necessary. When you read the approximations in English you will be
