Could you please give me a crash-course in Italian pronunciation regarding c / cc / cci / chi etc? I never quite know when to pronounce it with a hard k, or a ch-sound (as in chili) etc.

Gah, sorry I'm so late replying to this! I've just started a new job, and still getting adjusted.

I'd be happy to.

CI/CE makes the English "CH" sound, as in "cheese." Think of the Italian name "Gucci."
CH does exactly the opposite. It's more of a "K" sound. Think of "Michelangelo."

Does that clear it up?

No worries! I hope your new job is going ok

Thank you for pronunciation help, that is very helpful. So, in other words, it makes no difference whether it is one C or CC, what matters is what comes after?

A double (geminate) consonant makes the sound slightly longer, but doesn't change the type of sound. Hope that makes sense.
