It's like "sh" or "ea" in English. You don't pronounce them separately. "Giuseppe" isn't "Gee-you-sehpeh". It's "Joo-seppeh'. And a double consonant is held. Though Americans can't tell the difference between a "t" and a "d" Italians can. So "Giotto" is "Joh-TToh" two syllables, with the "t" actually pronounced as a hard "T" that is held slightly, as you would hold the "m" in "roommate". <br />Hilary Jane Margaret Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03771332473693479830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15895111.post-29286635069805756642019-03-22T01:18:32.038+01:002019-03-22T01:18:32.038+01:00it’s GHEE-ODDO, aint it?it’s GHEE-ODDO, aint it?tubbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07272003035464034763noreply@blogger.com
