Italian pronunciation is easy to pronounce since majority of words are pronounced the same way they are spelt. As usual here in Linguaself, at this level ,we would not want to bore you with the phonetic table at this level. However, we will give you an easy guide to Italian pronunciation to make your speaking easy from the get go.
Note: Stress is always on the second-to-the-last syllables.
