Italian legato and the richness in nuances can be achieved only through an accurate study of the language. When singing Italian repertoire, there is an intrinsic connection to the words that requires a more detailed training. Even hearing those differences might be a challenge. It is important to know that when we approach a foreign language, we usually apply the sounds and patterns that are familiar to us – those coming from our own native language. Each language has its own characteristics. Italian is praised for the pure quality of its vowels, but how we articulate its consonants gives us the texture of the language and its legato. There are many exceptions to the rules, but most of all there are nuances than even the IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet) cannot express. However, Italian is a difficult language to master. We can basically read it without going crazy with its spelling (did you know that in Italy we don’t have Spelling Bee?) There are only seven vowels and its articulatory setting is conducive to singing. I agree, Italian is an easy language to approach.
