Help[Facts] Re: Gracia
in reply to a message by Lauren
I agree with Ivayla - if you're in America, you'll be hearing it as a Latin American Spanish name so gra-SEE-a, like the word 'gracias'. In Italian it's 'grazi' and you do hear a bit of a hidden t in there - grat-ZEE and the name is Grazia - gra-tZEE-a.
Castillian I give wide berth ;o)

Hmm, of course you're right. I've studied Italian, and I probably mixed the two languages up.

Don't you hate that! I learnt SA Spanish as a child, French later in childhood and Italian as an adult and I'm forever saying stupid things mixing them up. Bloody irritating when you can't remember the word in the language you need but you can in the ones you don't.
And I stupidly added in Latin which actually helps, I think. Portuguese is sooooo lovely but no way - at 36 I'm losing brain cells already and any minute there'll be an implosion and I'll be left babbling esperanto ;oP LOL
