Tip for English Speakers
💡GN in Italian sounds like 'ny' in 'canyon' — 'gnocchi' is 'NYOK-kee'. Double GG before I makes a stronger 'dj' sound: 'maggio' = 'MAD-joh'.
Did You Know?
The GN sound in 'gnocchi' is one of the hardest for English speakers — most say 'noh-kee' instead of the correct 'nyok-kee'.
