Hi all, I am learning Italian and was wondering in what region of Italy people pronounce the 'c' as a Spanish 'j' as in Juan for example but in the italian word recuperate. However, I also hear the 'c' pronounced as the Roman 'c' a -sh- sound. You can hear it in the following youtube video around 8 minutes: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xZvj_y89XJo I was just curious. Looking forward to a response. Thanks, Evita

I am reading an Italian Donald Duck / Paperino and noticed the word 'zione'. Is it correct that this also means 'zio' / uncle? Looking forward to a response!

Can someone inform me about the rules around traveling through Germany with an American Stafford? Hi, I consider to do a road trip from the Netherlands to Italy with my dog, an American Staffordshire terrier with a pedigree. It would also be nice to have one or more stops (to sleep) in Germany. I have read there is breed specific legislation in Germany which differs per bundeslaender or city. Can anyone explain / inform me about the rules or refer to where I can find those? I am also interested in experiences in Germany wiith those dogs. Is there an attitude against them (maybe in specific regions more than others)? My biggest fear is that she would get confiscated or something. I would not want to risk that. Any information is welcome. Thanks, Evita
