Common mistakes of artisanal pronunciation

Stress placement error: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ar-TIS-anal" instead of the correct "AR-tis-anal" (ˈɑːr.tɪ.zən.əl in UK, ˈɑr.tɪ.zən.əl in US). Tip: Focus on emphasizing the first syllable.
Mispronouncing the "t": Some pronounce "artisanal" with a hard "t" as in "top," leading to "ar-TIS-anal." The correct pronunciation uses a softer "t" sound. Tip: Practice saying "artisanal" slowly to get the "t" right.
Vowel sound confusion: The "a" in "artisanal" can be mispronounced as in "cat," resulting in "ar-tis-AN-al." The correct sound is more like "uh" as in "sofa." Tip: Listen to native speakers for the accurate vowel sound.
Omitting the final syllable: Some may drop the last syllable, saying "artisanal" as "artisanal." The final "al" is important for clarity. Tip: Always pronounce each syllable clearly to avoid confusion.
Incorrect vowel length: Some speakers might shorten the first vowel sound, saying "artisanal" like "artisanal." The first vowel should be longer, as in "father." Tip: Stretch the first vowel sound to ensure correct pronunciation.
