Have you ever wondered what it is about Italian that makes it so musical? Among other things, the rhythm within the sentences is set by raising and lowering one’s tone of voice, which is dictated by \u00abThe accento\u00bb which is the Italian word for \u00abaccent.\u00bb<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you’re learning Italian and someone says the word \u00abaccent,\u00bb you might consider how you pronounce it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Accents, like the umlaut (those two dots over some vowels) in German and the tilde (the squiggly line over the letter n) in Spanish, are letter markings that do not exist in English. Though small in size, these markings have a big impact on pronunciation\u2014and, at times, meaning\u2014so don’t overlook them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately for the language learner, the use of accent marks is fairly simple, so mastering them isn’t as difficult as you might think.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most of the Italian words that you will study are pronounced phonetically. When there is a change you will see that the word already include the accent, which will guide you to the proper pronunciation. Remember that vowels play a big part in the italian language, since most words end with a vowel, and often the accent is on top of them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vowels play a big part in the Italian language, since most words end in vowels, so this isn\u2019t something to be overlooked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
