Experiment with pronunciation and intonation and use rules of spelling

Elaborations

developing pronunciation between sound blends in Italian in comparison to English, for example, sc followed by h or i/e (schiavo, piscine, pesce); letter combinations such as gn in lavagna and gnocchi, and gl in figlio and famiglia
learning to recognise the silent h as applicable to the verb avere and for borrowed words, for example, hockey, hotel
noticing the differences in intonation between statements, questions, exclamations and commands
understanding that an accent may change the meaning of the word, for example, è and e, il papà, il Papa
applying punctuation and capitalisation rules when writing, for example, omission of capitals with days of the week and months of the year
