The DOUBLE CONSONANT in Italian

The double consonant is one of the biggest challenges for Italian learners. Why? Because it's not always easy to recognize it in a word.
In this lesson, I show you how to say the double consonant in Italian the right way.
There are plenty of examples in the video and also a bit of practice at the end.
Don't look at the double consonant as a hurdle anymore! Watch the video to learn more.

It seems to me that the main difference between 'roto' and ' 'rotto' lies in the way the 'o' is pronounced. The same goes for 'gato' and 'gatto'. The vowel is a bit longer in 'gato' and not the 't'.
I know that Italians maintain to be able to pronounce a plosive (p, t, c, b, d, g) short or long. But how can you make a plosive long?

I'm wondering the same thing. You can only lengthen the vowels before or after.

I am always interested in the words that look similar but for 1 letter. I am going to see if you have a video on homophones. Thanks
