Italian Pronunciation

Are you sure your pronunciation of 'bruschetta' or prosciutto' is right? Do you usually stress sweat when you have to pronounce words like 'ghiaccio', 'sciogliere', 'chiacchierare', 'esercizio' or 'vorrei'?

Enrol in this class and be ready to roll your ‘r’s, take part in some pronunciation games, challenge yourself with a few tongue twisters and work on intonation through some role-play! Improving your Italian accent couldn’t be more fun!

The course is suitable and enjoyable for any learners from false beginners to advanced.
