How is the "amicizia" (friendship) pronounced in Italian?

• A- pronounced as /a/ (similar to the English 'a' sound in the word 'cat')
• mi- pronounced as /mi/ (similar to the English 'me' sound in the word 'me')
• pronounced as /ʧi/ (like 'chee' from "cheese" with a slight 'ts' sound at the beginning)
• a> pronounced as /tsia/ (like 'tsee' from "tsunami" followed by '-a')

When you put it all together, you get /a-mi-ʧi-tsi-a/. Say it out loud a few times until you feel comfortable with the pronunciation.
