This free Italian pronunciation checker listens to you read in Italian (it-IT) and shows which words were recognized. Use it as a quick Italian pronunciation test before a trip, a class or a conversation.
Italian is read almost exactly as it is written, so a few key sounds make most of the difference. Practice them here with real sentences from daily life, travel and work.
Hold double consonants a little longer: pala and palla, caro and carro, sete and sette are different words.
Before e and i, C sounds like ch in church and G like j in jam: ciao, cena, gelato. CH and GH keep them hard: chiesa, spaghetti.
The R is tapped or rolled, never the English R. GLI sounds close to lli in million (famiglia) and GN like ny in canyon (gnocchi).
Type or paste a sentence, press the microphone and read it aloud. The checker transcribes what you said and compares it word by word with the text, so you get a score and see which words were understood correctly and which ones need more practice.
