Pronunciation #1 - "c", "g", "gl", "gn", and Where to put the Pressure in Words!

La Pronuncia!

In this first pronunciation episode we'll go through how we can see if there's a hard or a soft "g" and "c", we'll look at the sounds "gl" and "gn" - and on which syllable to stress in Italian words!

:)

....

c and g:

with ci, ce, gi, ge - a soft sound.

Other cases: hard sound.


gl and gn:

"gl" has the sound like in "million" in English.

Ex: famiglia

"gn" has the sound like "onion"

Ex: signora


Stress in a word:

In general - next to last syllable.

If there's an accented vowel as the last letter: stress on the last syllable

A handful of exceptions stress the third to last.

Ex: sabato, facile, tavola.


Well done!
