Cinque Terre—Silly question
 

I am going to Cinque Terre in July, and I have been reading about how wonderful it is. But I'm not sure how to pronounce it! Not wanting to look silly when I arrive, could anyone give a phonetic pronunciation of this area? <BR> <BR>Thanks!

CHEEN-kweh TEHRRRRR-eh <BR> <BR>Don't forget to roll that r!! <BR> <BR>It means Five Lands, for the five villages linked by a footpath. <BR> <BR>GO THERE so you can practice pronouncing it, it is truly beautiful
