| Italian speakers, I have a question about pronounciation. |
|
In a few hours, I need to give a speech where I will be mentioning Sandro Botticelli and Fra Angelico--how do I pronounce their last names?
Bot-ti-sell-ee or Bot-ti-chell-ee?
As for Angelico, is it a hard or a soft g?
Thanks:)

Ce and Ci makes a sound like CH in English. Like "cappuccino."
The G in Angelico is like the G in "Angel."
