Pronunciation of Italian cuisine is frequently butchered by Americans.
If you take Udemy’s course on speaking Italian like an Italiano,
you will not only learn to read the Italian language and carry on a
basic conversation in Italian, but you will also realize how frequently
most Americans butcher the pronunciation of Italian words. This
pronunciation is especially common in Italian restaurants, where dishes
like gnocchi and bruschetta are frequently ordered with Americanized
utterances that would drive Italian chefs crazy. If you want to order
Italian food in Italy without making a fool of yourself, make sure you
have the pronunciation of a few key food words down pat, from the
aforementioned terms to others like prosciutto and hors d’oeuvres.
