Writing and sound
Italian spelling gives useful pronunciation clues, but consonant length deserves attention: cane and canne are different words. Stress is not normally marked, so learn a new word with its spoken rhythm as well as its spelling.

Italian at a glance
See how Italian writing, pronunciation and grammar shape what you need to notice.
Grammar and usage
Italian marks masculine and feminine agreement across articles and adjectives, while informative verb endings often let speakers omit subject pronouns. Everyday speech also shifts between informal tu and courteous Lei.
What to notice as a learner
Save nouns with their article, verbs in a short sentence, and easily confused single- and double-consonant pairs together. Audio cards are especially useful for retaining stress and consonant length.
Interesting facts
- The traditional Italian alphabet has 21 letters; j, k, w, x and y occur chiefly in loanwords and names.
- Italy’s traditional “dialects” are not merely accents of standard Italian; many developed as historically distinct Romance systems.
