the accent on torta is wroooong

[coloraday]

Yes, it should be on the o.

[metaele]

Could only hear 'torta'. The first part of the sentence sounds like 'il radiatto tagliano la torta' whatever that means :(

[christian]

It sounds fine to me.

[wataya]

To me too. (Except for the strange stressing of 'torta')

[Beppe]

Yes: it seems to be accented on the a (torta') and not on the o (to'rta)

What is the pronunciation with "taglia"? For some reason I'm not hearing the "glia" part. I have this difficulty with "garlic" as well.

[FencingMaestro]

This puzzled me as well, so I did some digging. Turns out the sound is similar to the "LL" in Spanish, and the "y" sound in the English "yellow". So taglia (and other "gli" words) would be pronounced like TAHL-yah, with just a hint of an "L" sound. I am by no means an expert, nor a native speaker, but I tried to find native speakers saying words with the "gli" sound, so take this with a grain of salt. I hope this helps!

[NeilCockling]

Try saying the "lli" sound in "million", but with the BACK of the tongue rather than its tip pressed against the roof of your mouth

I was marked down on saying it was cutting. The system says it's slicing.

[GiovanniSantucci]

La torta è una bugia.

[Colin__Hunt]

The 'gli' syllable in Italian stresses me out more than any other language.

[shanespitzer]

taglia means "cuts" but the translation says "wrong" and only allows "slicing". Is that right?
