Common mistakes of blatant pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "bla-TANT" instead of "BLA-tənt". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, pronounced as /ˈbleɪ.tənt/ in US and /ˈbleɪ.tənt/ in UK.
- Vowel confusion: Some people pronounce "blatant" with a short "a" sound, like "blat-ent". This is incorrect. Tip: The vowel sound in the first syllable is a long "a", as in /ˈbleɪ.tənt/.
- Dropping the "t": A common mistake is omitting the "t" sound, leading to "bla-nt". This alters the word completely. Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "t" clearly, as it is essential to the word's integrity: /ˈbleɪ.tənt/.
- Overemphasizing the second syllable: Some learners say "bla-tant" with equal stress on both syllables. This is incorrect. Tip: Focus on the first syllable for stress, making the second syllable lighter: /ˈbleɪ.tənt/.
- Incorrect vowel in the second syllable: Some pronounce the second syllable as "ent" instead of "ənt", leading to "bla-tent". Tip: The correct pronunciation includes a schwa sound in the second syllable, pronounced as /ˈbleɪ.tənt/.
