Mentre imparavo a pronunciare queste parole sul cibo, non sapevo quale cibo stavo imparando a dire?
@@thomasbeckman4241 Ciao Thomas, intendi che non conosci alcuni dei cibi nominati?
@@ItalianTeacherValentina Esatto, sono molto nuovo a capire l'italiano, comunque imparerò. E sono molto grato per il tuo insegnamento. Anche se saprò come pronunciare questi cibi al momento non so cosa siano.
Google them! 😊
I am sharing your videos with people in my expat group. Thank you.
Yup. I messed up 92.5% of these words. How embarrassing. But i won’t anymore. Thank you!
Ahah! I'm glad it was so helpful, then!
Great job! I am a quarter percent Italian so this pronunciation is super helpful!
I'm smitten and hooked to your lessons.
❤
This was amazingly helpful. So helpful and it is helping my pronunciation.
Before I studied the Italian language, I fell in love with Italian cooking. That is why I decided to study the language. I struggled with Aglio e Olio. Which by the way I had for dinner tonight. 😀
I think I have it figured out now, but it would be interesting to hear you say it.
Noted!
Signora Stella, grazie per il tuo tutoraggio. Mi sto godendo le tue lezioni. Sei un insegnante eccezionale, grazie.
Thomas, grazie a te per il tuo messaggio! Sapere che le mie lezioni sono utili e apprezzate è una grande motivazione per me! :)
Thank you!
Thanks for this video! It helped me a lot.really help my League
You are a great teacher...learnt so much in a few minutes. Love that you take it one step further and explain why a word is pronounced a certain way.❤🎉
So great! And so helpful! And it reiterates what I tell people when they look at me like I’m crazy when I try to explain why the pronunciation of the vowels matters and makes a difference. Thank you! You’re an amazing teacher!!
Grazie a te, Jessica! As I always say, vowels are the pillars of correct Italian pronunciation, they make ALL the difference (and they can also completely change the meaning of a word). Brava for noticing it yourself!!
Yes!! Thank you. Now I can give this to people who say broo shet ta and tell me I’m wrong when I say broos ket ta.
😄 Exactly one of my purposes for this video!! 😉
Thanks for this video! It helped me a lot!
I'm glad it did, Mary! And I have a whole playlist on Italian pronunciation with many videos like this one: czcams.com/play/PLaeKp_sNLJVz3LzjT277KwTNWc9EgySYd.html
I love learning Italian! And it's quite easy for Spanish speaking people like me to pronounce.. well after all, Italiano and Español are both part of the Romance languages! With lots of similitudes! 😘
Thank you❤
I really enjoyed this. I have a friend who butchers these words and it Mau me craz. I don’t want sounds like a know it all. I did take italic in high school, so I do have a bit of an advantage, but I even remind myself of the subtle nuances that come along with words with double consonants, and words ending in e and it
My hubby and I will be moving to Minturno soon,
snd I certainly want to pronounce these words correctly in our adopted country we’re make our best attention to pronoun t
Grazie mille, Sra. Valentina.
❤
Minestrone. Thank you, I learned so much!
Thank you
love it,thank you!
❤
Grazie per il video Valentina!
è un piacere, Joshua!
Love this video so much-would love one on Italian towns, especially in Sicily ❤🇮🇹
Ottima idea! Added it to my list!
Of all the words presented, the only word I pronounce 'perfectly' is Pizza!
Liked and subscribed.
😄😄 You've got the fundamentals, Harvey!
Fantastic video, I learn so much with each one!
So glad to hear that, Kyle!
Great video! Thx!
❤
Grazie..God bless you
Grazie a te! Benvenuto! (*welcome)
Great video thank you
❤
I am here in Italy and I need more of those pronunciations please.
Grazie
Molto Bene, 🛡️🌐♀️ Valentina Stella
I have only ever been able to find "pignoli" during a google search...never "pinoli". Even my spellcheck tells me "pinoli" is incorrect. Is this an American thing? Great video...I am off to Italy in July and this is such a great channel!
Yes, I think your spellcheck corrects you because it's probably set on American English. Try to change that to Italian and it will correct "pignoli" (or not, since "pignolo" is actually a word but means something like "fastidious" 😅)
Sounds a little like Espanol. I wonder when to use plain /n/ and /nye/ as in Nino; and the variation of g. Glad found this!
/n/ is the standard "n" sound in Italian. We have a sound similar to /nye/ with the combination "gn" as in "gnocchi"
@@ItalianTeacherValentina Thank you Ma'am Stella!!! 🇵🇭
Valentina, Molto utile. Avevo bisogno della revisione. Non vedo l'ora di andare al ristorante e fare pratica con la mia pronuncia.
ahah, brava!! Bisogna sempre mettere in pratica quello che impariamo o ripassiamo :D
This make me laugh I was wrong on several,, thank you for the correction ciao
Ahah glad you enjoyed it, Eleonzo!
I didn't know Bolognese should be pronounced as such!! Omg I have been mispronouncing it for so long!
😄 No worries, Averleen, it's never too late to learn!
For me as a Latvian. It's pretty easy to pronounce the correct Italian sounds. Thank you for the lesson. 🇮🇹🇱🇻
Molto interessante! Thanks for sharing!
Same here as a Romanian ☺️
Please tell me how hot giardiniera is pronounced!!!! I love this. Your a good teacher. Next time I go to Sicily I can be better prepared!!!
The "g" is pronounced as "j" in "judge". I'll add that to the next round
Rule of thumb (that I just learned from a comment in these threads): the combo g+i is pronounced as a soft g (American English, as in "page")
Bongiorno = bone-jor'-no
Parmigiano = Par-maj-ya'-no
Similarly, "ci" is always said as "shh" sound, in English
Ciao = Shaow ... never "See-ow"! ... sometimes "Chow"
Great. The Italian language has some similarities with the Igbo language (a language in Nigeria). The pronunciation of GN is similar to the pronunciation of a letter in the Igbo alphabet. Also, some Italian alphabets sound similar to some Igbo alphabets.
Interesting!
Chudi, sad but true: most people have no idea about the origins of the languages they speak. All Latin languages have many words adopted from Arabic, so it’s not mere coincidence to hear Igbo sounds. The African coastal regions are the passports to the world. Please tell me that you do know that “Blackamoors” (Moors) ruled Spain and parts of Italy and France during the so-called Dark Aged, which spanned over 700 years. The Catholic Church had destroyed all of the schools, libraries, and museums in Rome and Greece because they were labeled centers of “idol worship” since they were not teaching Catholicism. If you haven’t visited Spain, please study its architecture online. Most of the Moors’ great buildings still stand. That knowledge came from Mali, the Ivory Coast, and Nigeria. We think that Bill Gates and Warren Buffet are “rich.” Not one being in all of western history has come close to the wealth of Mansa Musa, who funded many public projects with his wealth; he also adopted scholars and artisans from other countries into his empire, so those people’s languages and cultures had an impact on Western Africa. The relationship between Africa and Europe has been covered thoroughly. What I’m more interested to learn is why Japanese and Igbo sound so similar.
So useful.. Thank you.. Subscribed!
If you would like some feedback, Would have preferred less time on showing the mispronunciations and just sticking to the correct one ...
Thank you once again for taking time to share your knowledge with us!
Benvenuto! And thanks for your feedback :)
@@ItalianTeacherValentina prego😜
Well it is bruschétta in correct italian, not bruschètta.
nice
Just subscribed.
One piece of advice. Plz do not be afraid to simply state your pronunciation. Most non-italians pronounce the way their mother tongue pronounce it. Like the French never use the final letter or even the vowel
Benvenuto! *Welcome!
My sense is that some of the pronunciation "mistakes" that you notice among Americans are not the result of Anglo Ameicans mispronouncing Italian. Some derive from dialectical pronunciations of Italian Americans, especially those from Napoli and Basilicata. You do note that dialectical pronuciations play a role in the way the word for "beans" (fagioli) is pronounced among some Americans.
Yes, absolutely!
What helps me is remembering: "Bruce-get-ah" 😁
Good
Gn makes the “ñ” sound in Spanish
❤
Oh dear, used to pronounce Gnocchi /n'iiokki/ as G'noosh 😂
The /s/ sound between two vowels is pronounced /z/? Grazie.
Fagioli is Fasolia in Arabic
Very good. But you should have shown a representative photos with it's meaning or description with each word to identify each word easier.
I thought it was "pros-ci-utto.. or pros-cu-to, as I remember you said that Ce, Ci, still be pronunce as ce and ci... ok now, I know... Thank you...
With “Fagiolli”, it would be helpful to let your audience know that “gi” together is always pronounced as an American/English “ j” as in the word “justice”. Many Americans pronounce the name Giovanni incorrectly. They would say- “ g (hard g) ee-o-vanni “. Good lessons thank you
Good point. I always want to yell at people (TV characters and News reporters) who can't get that "ci" together is pronounced "shh". Can't remember the biggest offender-word, but an example is "specious" as in a specious argument. I think all "ci" syllables should sound like "shh" and not create another syllable. There seems to be a concensus that it should be pronounced, "spee-cee-yus" rather than "spee-shuss" which follows the rule above.
@@youresoakinginit2113Where did you get that tidbit? I doubt that anyone who actually uses the word “specious” thinks it’s pronounced “spee-cee-us.” Please check dictionary pronunciations. It is “spee-shuss.” Also, I think an example of the kind of word you were looking for is “Medici,” which Americans pronounce “Med-ee-chee” instead of “Meh-de-shee.”
Is there a tutorial for how to pronounce the R sound? Thanks.
Not yet! :)
The people who do not say the final vowel live in Brooklyn and (most) Italian Americans I know say Italian food words the "Brooklyn way". For that population, they are pronouncing it "right."
Yeah, you are right about that. Reminds me of Native New Yorker Joy Behar, from The View (whom I love a lot!), when she tells about making her famous Lasagna. She pronounces the word "ricotta" as "ree-goad" or "ree-goat". 😵💫
I learned something of value from the vlogger here, that the Italian language ALWAYS pronounces ALL the VOWELS!! including the final "a" in RICOTTA! 😊
Yaaaaayy 95% I know how to pronounce these words
So is the letter S unvoiced in caprese but voiced in bolognese and risotto? Very confusing! Or did I mishear? And is it also voiced in calzone? But unvoiced in mozzarella? Otherwise these are pretty easy to pronounce for a Finnish person! Though I'm not sure about aspiration either. C always seems to be aspirated, but how about P and T?
i don't understand somthing , you said in a previous video that in italian we should pronounce all the vowels in the word even if they were followed by each other but i can see that you are not pronouncing the vowel "i" in the word "parmigiano " but you're saying " parmigano " directly , can i get an explanation ?
This is unfortunately a common misconception. Many people think that the "i" in "g" is kind of built-in, because when we say the "g" in the alphabet we actually say an "i" sound with it, and that makes people (even Italian kids!) feel confused. But the "i" is NOT built-in in the G, the G is kind of neutral and then pronounced differently depending on what comes next. In this video I explain how to pronounce the C correctly and the same rules apply to "G": czcams.com/video/qEx41pOMq50/video.html
The letter i in that word doesn't act as a vowel, but rather as a soft sign for the letter g.
As you know, if it was written "Parmigano", the letter g became hard g, like in the English word "go". How do you make it soft? By adding the letter i after the letter g. So, "Parmigiano" is pronounced with soft g (like in the English word gel) because there is the letter i after that -as a soft sign, not as a vowel, and since the letter "i" doesn't act as a vowel, you don't pronounce it
How about pizzelle? We have a debate on this way with our friends.
aglio e olio peperoncino (Jake)
It would have been great to add "mascarpone," which even some celebrity chefs on TV pronounce "marscapone".
it's fantastic I really enjoyed it well but I need you to make a video with wrong pronunciation we get. I do confused 🤔🤔🤔 here by calling these words difference. pollo, Polo, sono, sonno, Pala, palla etc, I face that challenge everyday so can you make a video to make difference
Caprese.
Bruschetta.
Pizza
Mozzarella
Margherita
Calzone
Prosciutto
Parmigiano
Pistacchio
Gnocchi
Fagioli
How do you pronounce Giardiniera
The "g" is pronounced as "j" in "judge". I'll add that to the next round
I saw a recipe for brascole and looked up the pronunciation and it told me the 'American' pronunciation -- bra-chee-o-lay. That drives me nuts. If I'm looking up the pronunciation of an Italian word, why give me the (usually incorrect) 'American pronunciation'?
I had an idea of what it should sound like from that Everybody Loves Raymond episode. 😂
😄😄
How do you pronounce the word capital tagliatelle
I have a dedicated video with all types of pasta: czcams.com/video/c2u8oCTn8J4/video.html
No idea how I knew how to pronounce this, but Google Translation says ""tal-ya-tel'-lee. The g is silent.
I was right! 😊
I wish you had included latte in this video. I so hate hearing people order a « lahtay » But many thanks anyway.
I'll keep that in mind for a secound round :)
How should it be pronounced? I would probably say, "Lot-tay" and not "lot-teh"... (FWIW, I think latte is not that common a beverage in Italy)
The pronunciation in Webster's Dictionary is "lă'-tā"... the Google Translation Service pronounces the Italian word (which means "milk," btw) "la-tay" in a rather strong Italian accent.
How do you pronounce Manicott “Manicotti”?
She said there are no wasted (my word) vowels, that they're all pronounced. I think we should say it exactly as it looks, "man-na-kot-tee." Definitely not "man-na-goat" or "man-na-goad"... or even, "man-na-kood"!!!
Unless, apparently, you're in Brooklyn! ♡
the Spanish put the g on top of the n
sicilians sometimes drop the last letter
Interessante! Do you mean sicilian-americans? I am sicilian myself and in my dialect (Siracusa) we usually don't. I've heard that more in neapolitan dialects though.
I got all these words correctly (and I don't speak Italian, unfortunately). Did I win anything?
😄😄 The fondest appreciation and gratitude from native Italian speakers for not butchering the language 🥳🥳
@@ItalianTeacherValentina , did not really expect a reply to an old video, so grazie mille!
What is the correct way to say pizzelle? Is it pit-sell-eh or pit-zell? We have a debate with friends lol.
Double "z" is alwyas pronounced as in "pizza" , so it would be "pit-zell-eh" (don't forget to pronounce the ending "e" = "eh") 😉
Well, dang it. I was very excited when I started watching. Now I want to avoid Italian restaurants.
😅 Oh no!! Just practice a bit, if you do you will do better than 99% of their clients!

In English, the final e is silent and almost never pronounced as ee or like the “i” in Italian.
But this is Italian.
@@lynnscott9657 my comment was for her not the viewers or readers. She kept saying "English speakers", where she meant American speakers. Notice that all her comments about the mispronunciations are American since this is how Americans pronounce the words they see (if never heard it from an Italian native). The reason why Americans mispronounce foreign words is due to them not being keen on attempting to find out how such foreign words are pronounced by their foreign (native) speakers, and their insistence on correcting even those who learnt and pronounce it correctly (happened to me many times esp with the word ricotta).
I don't blame the uneducated or unseasoned Americans bed people tend to learn from others (usually their mothers or sisters or the waiters and waitresses. What makes things worse is that the French have a word for parmigiano which is parmesan, so American write it like the French but pronounce the s as j (parmejan), hence the American pronunciation of parmigiano as parmejan. Another example is calzone, Americans read it as cal.zone the American English way cal + zone (silent e), and when they hear it once they sound the final e as ee. Americans are very funny when it comes to pronouncing foreign words esp the French words, so don't blame them when they don't sound the final vowel in Italian words since in English the final e is silent so English speakers either drop it or sound it wrongly
@@biloz2988 I am American. I have a doctorate in Spanish literature. During the coursework, however, I also studied linguistics. I began studying French in high school and studied one year of Italian in university (Vassar College, considered a highly selective place to study). I’m well acquainted with all of these pronunciation issues. Yes, America is a place that has many linguistic influences. Food words have been translated so that they are pronounced in many ways. Still, broo shet ta drives me crazy. I just want to hear broo sket ta. I mean, we don’t say zoo chee nee, we say zoo kee nee.
@@lynnscott9657 I agree with you and I'm glad to hear from someone keen about linguistics. I love languages and try to learn how different words are pronounced in their mother tongue, otherwise they lose their lure. We can tell if a person is sofisticated culturally from the way they pronounce different words (among other things).
I'm sorry, I really enjoy your teaching. But I also want you to post a photo.
Ciao, sorry but I don't understand what you mean exactly. Could you elaborate more on that?
I speak a little English and Italian. I want to learn a little bit of Italian because I live in Italy. I don't know what Calzone looks like.
@@user-yc6cj3wf6x I see! Next time I'll try to add a photo then. Meanwhile: a "calzone" is like a pizza, but is folded on itself. If you google it, you'll find loads of photos! (and btw is super yummy! :D)
For Anglo-Saxons parmigiano is pamijeeaaaan. 😠 Then they have spaghedi, risodou, gawbonaur (carbonara) BLEAH! 😱
😲😲😲 Terribile!! 😂
@@ItalianTeacherValentina eh, ma dovresti saperlo bene.
Io a momenti litigavo con uno che aveva detto "maicol éngelo".
Funny, I clicked the translate button on a string of Italian food words they had been saying right, and everything remained the same, except "parmagiano" was translated "parmesan." Parmesan is that junk in the green container!! I think it's not even legally actual cheese in America. For sure not in any other country!! 😅
fagioli is "fasola" also in Polish :D seems we got this word from southern Italians
Ahah that's really interesting (and fun) to know!
Words that hurt my ears: "brusheta", spaghetti "noodle", "supersaw" invece di SOPRESSATA , "GUENOKI" invece de Gnocchi (my compatriots in Argentina use "ñoquis") pisa instead of pizza, etc What people seem to understand better if encouraged to pronounce it as PITZA
Ahah I understand the pain 😄 Yes, most people don't realize Italian "z" is actually pronounced as "ts"
For the longest time we pronounced gnocchi as either ga-notch-ee, or almost worse: "Yonkees" 😅😅😅 This in my DH *very American* Italian fam.
???
Now i can say bruschetta properly but nobody at the restaurant will understand me so I will now hate to order it knowing im saying it incorrectly 😭😭😭
Ah! You are right, that is a struggle!! Why not teaching them the correct way? Many of my students do that 😅😅
that's funny, happens to me too, but I insist and explain to them I know the correct pronunciaton of italian words
I think you just have to risk it, and press on with the correct way. They will begin copying YOU eventually. You could even say you started saying the correct pronunciation because people were always correcting you or making fun of you when you were saying it wrong. Eventually you'll win them all over♡
Then teach the staff at the restaurant….don’t bend to being incorrect…do it politely and calmly….don’t attack the waiter, but bring them along…
Bruschetta, Caprese, Mozzarella, Margherita, Calzone, Prosciutto, Ricotta, Parmigiano, Pistacchio, Gnocchi
HOW IS PRONOUNCE "PRO, SHOO, TOO"
Mrs. Valentina.. how do you spell Manicotti in Italian.. I know us Americans spell it Manicotti.. Is It Manicott ? How do you pronounce the spelling correctly? I did not hear you include this food in your video. Thank You
The spelling "manicotti" is correct, it's the pronunciation that's wrong. As I explained in the video, you need to pronounce every.single.letter in Italian, especially ending vowel, so do not skip the ending "ee" sound! ;)
I would be a shameful Italian...I can't roll my Rs!!
Some Italian can't rolls their Rs either! And believe me, what makes a huge difference is not Rs as much as vowels pronunciation ;)
YOU DID NOT PRONOUNCE "i" IN "PROSCIUTTO"
Please refer to this other video of mine where I go over this exact question: czcams.com/video/BuCbk94q4FU/video.html
