Welcome to the Italian Alphabet!
In Italian, the alphabet has only 21 letters! The letters j, k, w, x, y are only found in foreign words. Learning letter names helps you spell your name and understand words when people spell them out for you.
Key Pronunciation Rules for Spelling
- A sounds like 'ah' as in father.
- E can sound closed (like 'e' in bed) or open (like 'e' in pet).
- I sounds like 'ee' in beet.
- O can be open or closed.
- U sounds like 'oo' in boot.
Common Mistakes
English speakers often mispronounce I as 'eye' and E as 'ee'. Remember: Italian vowels are short and crisp!
