My blog stats showed an unusual search for the Italian phrase in the post’s title. But it looked like a phrase straight from DEFENDING IRENE, so I’m going to give a short pronunciation guide. Uaou is like “Wow” with a bit more of the “oo” sound on each end. Che sounds quite a bit like “kay” but cut it much shorter. There’s only the long A sound. Leave off the long E at the end. Bella is quite a bit like “”bell-lah,” but you can almost shift it to “bayl-la”.
By the way, if any teachers or students would like any help with the pronunciations in DEFENDING IRENE or SAVING THE GRIFFIN, plese send a comment to this post. I have to okay all comments, so it will pop up on my email.
Buon Natale a tutti! (Good Christmas to all!)
