SS vs S distinction
Consejo para Hispanohablantes
💡For SS, sustain the hissing S sound longer. In Italian, a single S between vowels is often voiced (like Z in 'zero'), while SS is always voiceless and crisp. This distinction doesn't exist in English.
¿Sabías que...?
The difference between 'casa' (house, with voiced S) and 'cassa' (cash register, with voiceless SS) is one of the trickiest distinctions for English speakers learning Italian.
