Practicing “sciolingue,” the Italian equivalent of tongue twisters, is an amusing way to practice and improve your pronunciation.

Here is this week’s sciolingua/tongue twister:

“In un piatto cupo poco pepe cape.”
In a dark plate little pepper fits.

This tongue twister, as with last week’s [“Sora la panca la capra campa…”], seems not too difficult when pronounced slowly, but becomes much more challenging as you pick up the pace! Pay attention, again, to the double ‘t’ by placing extra emphasis on it.

Buon divertimento! (Have fun!)
