MArkS Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 Soft g, pronounced like a j. Hard g would be gh, as in Ghezzi-Brian. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luhbo Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 uuh oh uhgo here: Translator and press the little speaker in the right bottom corner of the left window, then listen carefully Once it goes fluently try the next step: MotorcycleDon't underestimate the correct melody: "Emozione", albeit in particular this word would be pleased by a little more of itself. Maybe they didn't want to get sucked in an endless loop here. Do not press the button in the other window. Hubert 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docc Posted August 14, 2013 Share Posted August 14, 2013 Haha - I lent some assistance to a stranded rider the other night (rather late) as his tail lights had gone out on his Honda. As we went about looking for parts, he wondered why my Garmin GPS was speaking Spanish. "It's Italian," I told him. "My bad" he says, but never asks "Why?" is why!
