Sillabiamo! O no?

Ciao a tutti!

An attentive reader recently asked a question about how I divided words during our seminar.
I think this requires a clarification. I mostly followed the syllable division rules..but not always.
If you want to correctly divide words in  Italian, you can read more for example here:

(IN ITALIANO)

(IN INGLESE)

http://www.italianlanguageguide.com/pronunciation/syllabication.asp

During the lectures you may notice that sometimes I did not follow those rules, in order to help my american students with the pronunciation (e.g. I wrote and said u-ovo instead of uo-vo in order to emphasize that both vowels are important, or ques-to instead of the correct que-sto).
I have been trying to go back to past posts to emphasize the correct rules in the written parts, but please let me know if something is not clear and I will edit it!

Grazie e buona estate!

Dove sono finiti i video?

Buonasera!

Some of you noticed that the links to MIT TechTV are not working anymore: peccato! What a pity! Fortunatamente i video sono ancora visibili su OCW:
