Common mistakes of bauhaus pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "bau-HAUS". The correct stress is on the first syllable: /ˈbaʊ.haʊs/. Tip: Remember to emphasize the first part, "bau".
- Confusing vowel sounds: The "au" in "bauhaus" can be tricky. Some may pronounce it as /ɔː/ instead of /aʊ/. This leads to mispronunciation. Tip: Practice saying "how" to get the correct sound.
- Ignoring the "h": Some learners may mistakenly pronounce "bauhaus" without the "h", saying "bauaus". This alters the sound significantly. Tip: Always include the "h" sound, pronounced as /h/, to maintain accuracy.
- Mixing up the final sound: The ending "haus" may be pronounced as /hɔːs/ instead of /haʊs/. This changes the word's meaning. Tip: Focus on the "au" sound in "haus" to keep it consistent with the first syllable.
- Overemphasizing the "s": Some people may overly stress the final "s", leading to a clipped pronunciation. The final "s" should be soft and not overly pronounced. Tip: Keep the ending light and smooth, focusing on the flow of the word.
