Common mistakes of bhutan pronunciation
- Stress misplacement: Many learners incorrectly place stress on the second syllable, saying "bhu-TAN". The correct pronunciation is "bhuˈtæn" with primary stress on the second syllable. Tip: Remember that the stress falls on "tan".
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some people pronounce "bhutan" with a long "u" sound, saying "bhoo-tan". The accurate pronunciation is "bhuˈtæn", where the "u" is a short vowel sound. Tip: Focus on a quick, short "u" as in "put".
- Mispronouncing the initial sound: A common error is pronouncing "bh" as "b" or "h". The correct initial sound is a voiced aspirated "b", as in "bhuˈtæn". Tip: Practice by saying "b" with a gentle breath to create the aspirated sound.
- Overemphasizing the "t": Some learners may pronounce the "t" too strongly, sounding like "bhu-tan". The correct pronunciation is "bhuˈtæn" with a softer "t". Tip: Keep the "t" light and quick to maintain the flow of the word.
- Confusing regional accents: People may mix up the pronunciation based on regional accents, leading to variations like "buˈtan". The standard pronunciation is "bhuˈtæn". Tip: Listen to native speakers from Bhutan to grasp the correct accent and intonation.
