Whenever you decided to go to Italy in learning Italian language, probably you will get too excited with how the world is being lived there. Would it be different to the kind of life you used to have back at your own country? Probably it will be, especially—and particularly—the language that you will be using there.

Of course, we always get to have the groove to learn Italian since we’ve come to a place where Italian needs to be articulated, and we probably have some of our basic learning and simple words acquired.
But do you know that there are some Italian words that shouldn’t be mispronounced? You will not want this to get enunciated the wrong way, because it’s definitely a big no. as for the list, Michelle Fabio has provided us the words.
Fico
Noun, fig (or fig tree)
According to Fabio, we have to make sure that the this word is pronounced in the masculine form because once you change it, probably to figa or fica, it will be referred as one of the parts of the female organs, and you know exactly what I mean.
Penne
Noun, can mean penne, as in the pasta, or pens (singular is penna).
I know this sounds obvious and that the word in itself might be letting you think the naughty word you and I must have thought in common, but as far as Italian language is concerned, you have to pronounce this properly, or it will sound as part of the male reproductive organs. You also know what I mean to this right?
Scappare
Verb, to escape
Mispronounce this word and you will surely be going to court order! (just kidding) what I’m saying is that if you will not articulate this word correctly, probably devo scopare, you actually tell someone that he has to go sweep, the floor perhaps.
It’s pretty intriguing, right? No wonder Italian language learning must have a formal training at language schools. Such schools will teach you the necessary skills intended.
