| cassa (vs. casa), pappa (vs. papà)
|-
| ch
| a ''c'' followed by an ''h'' is pronounced like a - ''k'' -
| bruschetta, gnocchi, zucchine
|-
| gli
| the ''g'' is not pronounced, instead pronounce it like - ''lli'' --
| figlio, glielo, consiglio
|-
| gn
| the "g" is not pronounced, instead say a nasal - "n" -
| gnocchi
|-
|à è ì ò ù
| Many Italian words are accentuated on the penultimate syllable, but not if there is an accent on the vowel:
| luned[[ì]], caff[[è]], far[[ò]]
