Italian lessons

PURPOSE


Hi all! This blog has been designed to help you with your Italian. Here you can find some activities linked   
with the Italian grammar and the Italian language... So let's get started!



Hello everybody! First of all we're going to start with an overview of the Italian language.
First of all, even though I know it's boring, I post an image of the Italian vowel system in contrast with the English one.

IN ITALIAN...

This graph shows a "mouth" in which a hypothetical tongue should move. The tip of the tongue should touch a specific red spot in order to articulate a specific sound.

Ex.:
To make the sound of the vowel the tip of the tongue has to be in the close-front position (tip of  the tongue touching the inner part of the lower teeth).

AND IN ENGLISH....

This image is to provide you a sort of a contrast  between the Italian and the English vocalic system.






THE ITALIAN ALPHABET

I'm not going to give you a number of slides in which you find the letter in capital letters and the Italian words that starts with that letter... I'm just going to give you the alphabet as a starting point.

A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, Z.

And later we will focus on the problems the Italian alphabet hides...
There's an audio file of the Italian alphabet... just contact me!
See you next time!
