Italian Speakers...pronunciation help.

Croce D'Aune?

I believe it translates to "Cross of Anne"

Is is Crow du Ahn?

Or did I Frenchyfrye it?

Italian is the same as English. Exactly the same. But you yell it instead of speak it and wave your arms around a lot.

How disappointing.... it's not an Italian expletive or sexual innuendo.

It's a line of Campagnolo bicycle components from twenty years ago!

no matter how you pronounce it someone will correct you. That is always my experience.

(for some reason google translate seems to think it is Welsh and not Italian?)

Yes... you always pronounce the last vowel. very slight pause between the d and the o.

Be sure to gesticulate when you say it.
