Experiment with pronunciation and intonation and use rules of spelling (ACLITU032)
Elaborations
- developing pronunciation between sound blends in Italian in comparison to English, for example, sc followed by h or i/e (schiavo, piscine, pesce); letter combinations such as gn in lavagna and gnocchi, and gl in figlio and famiglia
- learning to recognise the silent h as applicable to the verb avere and for borrowed words, for example, hockey, hotel
- noticing the differences in intonation between statements, questions, exclamations and commands
- understanding that an accent may change the meaning of the word, for example, è and e, il papà, il Papa
- applying punctuation and capitalisation rules when writing, for example, omission of capitals with days of the week and months of the year
