Loved the tongue twister… took me a week of practice to get it right, but now I can say it, almost at the same speed Jane says it. What I’ve noticed is that it really helped improve my overall pronunciation. Great episode

I noticed that when Massimo pronounces “pizza,” “pazza,” “pozzo,” etc. I do not hear the “t” sound as in when an English speaker would say “pizza” (“peetza”); rather the double z’s sound more like they do in “pizzazz.” However, when Jane says these same words I do hear that “tz” sound. Are both pronunciations equally correct?

Great question, Angela. Yes, both pronunciation are correct, and no one is better than the other.

I love this episode. Lots of fun. I remember the pizza down in Avellino (back in the early 90s) was very much like the pizza here in NJ, whereas the pizza in central Italy was more flat and square… – Bob
