Pronunciation

When a word is the same as its English version, it's probably okay to pronounce it as in English. Otherwise...

Italian uses Latin vowels.
b, d, f, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, s, t, v, w, y, z are all pronounced about the same as in English, with a few exceptions noted below.
h is silent, but may affect the sounds around it (see below).
r is hard, like in Spanish, but never trilled.
zz is about like "ts" or "tz".

Some consonants are pronounced in their "soft" forms when followed by e or i, and as their "hard" forms otherwise:

c, cc = "k" when hard, "ch" when soft
ch = "ch" when hard, "k" when soft
g = English g when hard, j when soft
gh is used to get a hard g sound in front of the softening vowels.
sc = "sk" when hard, "sh" when soft
sch is used to get a hard sc sound in front of the softening vowels.
gl = "ly" in million.
gn is, similarly, "ny", like the Spanish ñ.

An accent indicates the syllable which should have the strongest stress. In the absence of an accent, the stress should go on the next-to-last syllable.
