【Japanese Podcast#20】風邪(かぜ)ひいたら、冷（つめ）たいシャワー？ Catch a cold,Take a cold shower!?

My mom and I finish the quiz about American dialects we started last week to discover whether we speak the same way as other people from our region.
During our conversation, we also discuss regional vocabulary and accents from distinct sociocultural regions across the United States, including the South, the West Coast, New England, Texas, the Midwest and more.
You'll certainly learn a bit more about regional American cultures as well!
This is only the second half of the quiz. Please listen to episode 006 Exploring American Dialects (Part One) for the first half!

LE REGOLE DEL BUON MANGIARE IN ITALIA

Sai riconoscere un dittongo o un trittongo? O quando due vocali si pronunciano separatamente formando uno iato? In questo episodio ti guiderò attraverso questi elementi fondamentali della pronuncia italiana con esempi chiari e semplici:
	•	Dittonghi (due vocali nella stessa sillaba): ieri /ˈjɛri/, uomo /ˈwɔmo/.
	•	Trittonghi (tre vocali nella stessa sillaba): miei /ˈmjɛi/, guai /ˈgwai/.
	•	Iato (vocali pronunciate separatamente): Maria /maˈri.a/, paura /paˈu.ra/.

In più, parleremo di:
	•	Le consonanti doppie (pala vs. palla).
	•	L’accento nella lingua italiana.
	•	L’uso delle maiuscole e dell’apostrofo.

👂 Questo episodio è pensato per chi vuole migliorare la propria pronuncia e conoscere le regole che rendono l’italiano una lingua unica.
