Italian Course Beginner Series Lesson 4: The Italian Alphabet Video Lecture | Learn Italian Language: For Beginners and Travellers

hello and welcome to this video tutorial
my name is claudio and today we covered
the italian alphabet the reason why i
decided to call this video lesson a
proper I'm sorry the proper Italian
alphabet is because some people confuse
the difference between the English one
and the Italian one they think they are
the same but they are different so the
deal is in Italian you do not have the
letter J and K and you also don't have
the W x and y so you have less to worry
about pretty much you have 21 letters
instead of 26 and you keep all the five
vowels so very similar but slightly
different of course every Italian native
speaker is aware of the existence of
foreign letters for instance everybody
knows how to spell taxi but that's
because it's a foreign word so that was
borrowed and it contains foreign letters
but most people wouldn't even know where
the letter X is in the alphabet so think
about that ok so now let me show you the
pronunciation of each and every letter I
will start from a and I will include in
the list the pronunciation of the
foreign letters as well so
okay a b c d e f g akka e j kappa l m n
o p qu r st o vu da pa vu x epsilon
theta you may have some issue
pronouncing the double consonants or the
r sound you may not be able to trill to
trill your tongue
and make the italian or spanish
r but the thing is you don't have to
worry about this now
worry about learning it learning the
alphabet learning the difference and
this is really all you have to take away
from this video i will upload a video on
how to pronounce the R and how to
pronounce the double consonants in
Italian but that will come later because
it's more advanced okay
so I know this was very easy but I
promised I would start from scratch and
this is exactly what I'm doing so be
ready for later videos there might not
be as easy as this one I hope you found
this video helpful and I will see you
guys in the next one
Oh
