Oh My word. 

This word “sceglierlo” is like a veritable tongue twister. Has made me laugh and just can't seem to be able to get it done with dignity and proper pronunciation.

If ever I get to Italy may have to avoid that one or make a total idiot of myself. Well will probably put my foot in my mouth a few times. But that is okay with me.

A presto

After a few glasses of Chianti, who will notice?!?

Hi Chris

So that is the solution. You have a valid point. Made me laugh. I normally do language in the morning, but maybe a shot of something will help. Every time I say it I just laugh, as sounds nothing like Maria.

On a serious note, I take such words and break them down into syllables, then speed up my pronunciation progressively, until it sounds right.  This website may be of some help as well: https://forvo.com/languages/it/

Ciao

Thanks Chris. 

Great learning tool. Can say it in my head, but even when I break it into syllables it comes out crooked. Will keep practicing. I have problems with indirect and direct combinations too. 

Keep well
