Common mistakes of farfalle pronunciation

Misplacing the stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "far-ˈfal-le." The correct stress is on the first syllable: "ˈfar-fɑː-le" (UK) / "ˈfɑr-fɑː-le" (US). Tip: Focus on saying "far" more strongly.
Vowel confusion: The "a" in "far" is often mispronounced as "æ," leading to "fæ-falle." The correct pronunciation uses the "ɑ" sound, as in "father." Tip: Practice saying "far" clearly to get the vowel right.
Overemphasizing the "e": Some learners pronounce "farfalle" with an exaggerated "e," sounding like "far-fal-ˈee." The final "e" is silent in English. Tip: Remember that "farfalle" ends with "le," not "lee."
Incorrect vowel length: In "farfalle," the "a" should be pronounced as a long vowel, but some say it short, sounding like "far-fal." The correct pronunciation is "ˈfar-fɑː-le" (UK) / "ˈfɑr-fɑː-le" (US). Tip: Hold the "a" sound a bit longer.
Ignoring the double "l": Some may pronounce "farfalle" with a single "l," saying "far-fah-le." The double "l" creates a clearer "l" sound. Tip: Emphasize the "ll" to ensure clarity in your pronunciation.
