Hi
I wonder can someone help me with the pronunciation of the Italian noun "la scelta" meaning mainly *choice* in English. The dictionary I am using seems to suggest it should be pronounced with an 'f' sound as if it was spelt __felta__. Is this correct?

Please disregard my last email. I have discovered that the 'sc' in the Italian word is pronounced like the 'sh' sound as used in the English word *shelter*. Ciao! Ray

You are right! the word "scelta" (for choice) is pronounced with the sh sound.
