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 spoken throughout , the standard Italian 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 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

EUROPEAN ODYSSEY 2006 LANGUAGE AIDS – PAGE 4 understood in Italian, although you may sound somewhat "foreign." Also, notice that in the phonetic approximations, syllables written in the upper case should be stressed. Example: see-NYOR. Hyphens separate syllables and marks separate words. A double rr indicates a trilled .

English to German Words

German is relatively easy to pronounce, because it is basically pronounced as it is written. Perhaps the major difficulty for English speaking people is the umlaut sound discussed below.

HINTS FOR BETTER GERMAN PRONUNCIATION

1. The three "umlaut " look like this: ä, ö and ü. They are pronounced differently than regular vowels a, , and . Examples: schön, zwölf, spät, Käse, März, Glück, fünf

2. The German sound written as "" is a bit difficult to pronounce, and there is no exact equivalent in English. Examples: ich, nicht, Milch, sprechen, reich You may substitute this sound with "sh," which would be understandable throughout . Our phonetic approximations teach the "sh" sound, as in "ish."

EUROPEAN ODYSSEY 2006 LANGUAGE AIDS – PAGE 8 3. After the vowels a, o, and u, "ch" has a gutteral "" sound. Examples: Nacht, machen, Buch, auch, hoch, noch, nach, Kuchen

4. The "" is pronounced as "f." Examples: Vater, viel, Vogel, von

5. The letter "w" is pronounced as "v." Examples: wo, wie, was, wer, Wolf, wann

6. A final "d" in a word is pronounced as "t." Examples: Hund, Hand, Wand, Sand, und

7. A final "" in a word is pronounced as "k." Examples: Tag, Weg, klug

8. An initial "s" in a word or a syllable is pronounced as "." Examples: sagen, sieben, lesen

9. An initial "z" sounds like "ts." Examples: zehn, Zeit, zeigen

10. Although the German is like that of English, there is a special consonant called an "ess-tset." It looks like this "β." Examples: Fuβball, grüβen, süβ

PHONETIC APPROXIMATIONS

Remember: The phonetic approximations only approximate the sounds of German. Use them to assist you with the pronunciation when necessary. When you read the approximations in English you will be understood in German, although you may sound somewhat "foreign." Also, notice that in the phonetic approximations, syllables written in the upper case should be stressed. Example: HILL-fuh. Hyphens separate syllables and slash marks separate words.
