I’ve heard lots of Chiara’s get “CHEE-arr-a” and I myself have gotten “JEE-ah-da” many times, so I figured one of these should be on here! If anyone notices an incorrect pronunciation, please tell me! I’m Italian by blood but never lived there, so there’s a very good chance I’ve messed up a thing or two. Here’s my best attempt!
ch ~ “kee” (Chiara)
gi ~ “jah” (Giada)
ge ~ “jah” (Genova)
ci ~ “chee” (Luciana)
si ~ “see” (Silvia)
i ~ “ee” (Domenica)
ez ~ “etz” (Venezia)
ze ~ “zay” (Firenze)
fi ~ “fee” (Fiorella)
ce ~ “ch” (Vincenzo)
