Some tips for learning to speak Italian include learning to pronounce each letter, learning about letter clusters and double consonants, and understanding accents and when to put stress on particular syllables and letter combinations. For example, when pronouncing the Italian word for light bulb, which is “lampadina,” the “din” in the word is pronounced “dyhn.” Using an Italian dictionary can also be useful when learning the phonetic translations of words and how to join words together in Italian.
