Salve Ivana, scusa per il ritardo nella mia risposta. Per sicurezza ho controllato la mia grammatica italiana del Liceo e, come pensavo, dice: “la ‘z’ come la ‘s’ possiede il duplice suono ‘sordo’ e ‘sonoro’ senza che sia possibile stabilire una regola”.
Congratulazioni per il tuo diploma e auguri per l’insegnamento.

I JUST LOVE YOUR BLOGS! I received my diploma in italian at the age of 60 and am teaching in the evening colleges to mainly adult students who are really keen to learn. I make use so much of your blogs on grammer and am very excited when I read one that is relevant to my lesson. I would like to ask you if there is a rule in the pronounciation of Z ad dz or tz. It is very difficult to explain the rule to english speaking students who tend to use the z alone in words like Firenze (not pronounce it like firentze). I would really appreciate some help in this matter.
Thanking you, Ivana

This rocks. Thanks I’m learning via Rosetta Stone, and didn’t really get why it was capitalized.
