Un piccolo passo avanti! I now have the difference in my head between e and è. The former means 'and' and the later is 'he/she is'. E is 'ee' and è is 'eh'. For the last few months I have known there is a difference in pronunciation, but I have failed to really grasp it. Now I know. It's there, it's a part of my working knowledge of the language.
One little step forward, and more are needed. Other areas where work is needed is nel/nella, sul/sulla, del/della, and questo/questa, qui, quella, quanta. I want to learn the 1000 most frequently used words in Italian.
Lui è italiano. (eh) He is Italian.
La mela e l'arancia (ee) The apple and the orange
