The red Ferrari races along the rare Romagnol routes.

Pronunciation Focus

Double RR ('Ferrari', 'corre') vs single R ('rossa', 'rare', 'rotte')

Tip for English Speakers

💡In 'Ferrari' and 'corre', sustain the trill slightly longer than in 'rossa' or 'rare'. Think of double R as holding the vibration for a split second more.

Did You Know?

The word 'Ferrari' itself comes from 'ferraro' (blacksmith). Enzo Ferrari reportedly had a perfect rolled R — fitting for a name that demands two of them.
