Conosci la parola in italiano per “snowman”? Si dice pupazzo di neve. Qui ad Austin nevica raramente… però l’anno scorso abbiamo avuto una tempesta di neve e abbiamo costruito i pupazzi di neve ⛄️ ⛄️ ⛄️

Ti piace fare come i bambini e giochi nella neve come loro? Hai mai fatto un pupazzo di neve?

Parlami e raccontami i tuoi bei ricordi di infanzia giocando nella neve.

Stai attento! Italian Pronunciation is critical. Not pronouncing VOWELS and double consonants correctly can change the meaning of words and inhibit others from understanding you.

Learn the vowels sounds and the accented vowels sounds.

"E" in Italian has a long "A" sound in English

"È" with an accent has a short "eh" sound in English.

Have questions about Italian pronunciation and grammar? Let's talk! Parliamo!
