Italian Language Game: 8 Colors

Quick Italian Language Game: 8 Colors
Playing Time: 4 1/2 minutes

Play this fun interactive Italian game to pronounce, learn and write the names for 8 common colors.
Some colors end in -o, for example "rosso" (red). When used with a singular masculine noun, as in "the red book", the ending stays -o: "il libro rosso".
But when the same color is used with a singular feminine noun, as in "the red car", the ending is -a: "la macchina rossa".

Other colors do not end in -o. When these are used with a singular noun, they do NOT change.

As you play, say the words OUT LOUD and imitate the Italian pronunciation.
