Tip for English Speakers
💡Keep every 'a' identical and open — English speakers tend to reduce unstressed vowels to 'uh' (schwa). Italian never does this. The 'a' in 'una' must be as clear as the 'a' in 'rana'.
Did You Know?
Italian has no schwa (the 'uh' sound). Every vowel is fully pronounced, even in unstressed syllables — this is what gives Italian its musical, rhythmic quality.
