  1. My brother once got into trouble for correcting his Italian teacher's pronounciation of 'cipolla'. The teacher kept insisting it was Ci-polla, not Cipol-la.

    What makes this worse is that the teacher's mother came from the same region as my dad!

  3. Yep, where to put the accent is a big problem... Once and for all: 'cipòlla', not 'cìpolla'!
