■イタリア語初級編 1
１ イタリア語は日本語と音がとても似ています。
２ イタリア語にはアクセント（強勢）がついています。
★辞書にはアクセントが記載されています。
記載されていない場合、「後ろから２番目の音節」にアクセントがあります。
例 italiano i-ta-lia-no liaにアクセント。
３ なぜ、日本語に似ているかというと、母音の発音がほぼ同じだから。
ただ「a-e-i-o-u」の「u」の音は口をすぼめ前につきだし、日本語の「う」よりも強くはっきり発音します。

９月になったら（正確には涼しくなったら）したいことリストがあったのですが、長引く暑さと発熱のため、半分しかできませんでした。持ち越した課題は来月、天候と相談しながら実現させたいと思います。今月も「いいね」と「コメント」をありがとうございました。
体力も精神力では追いつけない部分もあります。
どうぞお大事になさってくださいね。
私も9月はちょっと苦手な月でした。
とっても忙しい月を何とかクリアできたという思いがあります。
