You probably thought you were doing well, ordering the simplest and most Italian of coffees rather than the cream- and syrup-filled concoctions you usually get at Starbucks. But asking for an 'expresso' in your local cafe will set the barista's teeth on edge, and confirm to everyone in earshot that you're far from fluent in Italian.
Foreign pronunciations. Italian pronunciation is fairly straightforward, excepting a few tricky consonant combinations (we're looking at you, 'gl' and 'gn') which most learners will still be able to grasp after a big of practice. But you should be on your guard in order to stop non-Italian pronunciations slipping in.
