I bet you know Roman numerals 1 to 12. You saw them in old-fashioned clocks in your grandparents' house.
But how should we pronounce them? For example, how does the number III sound? /aɪaɪaɪ/? No, no, no. 🙅🏽♂️ Actually, they are NOT English letters; they're Latin. So they are pronounced differently.

Maybe you're wondering why I tried to learn them. That's a good question. Be curious. 🧐 I was reading and listening to a passage from the book 'Inside Reading 3,' and the narrator pronounced 'Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II' in a way that I didn't expect...
Notice the pronunciation of seven, eight, nine, and ten in Latin.
