Common mistakes of latte pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, pronouncing it as "la-ˈteɪ". The correct pronunciation is "ˈlɑː.teɪ" (US) or "ˈlæt.eɪ" (UK). Tip: Emphasize the first syllable for accuracy.
Overemphasizing the "t": A common mistake is to pronounce the "t" too strongly, resulting in "ˈlæt.teɪ". The correct pronunciation is smoother, as in "ˈlɑː.teɪ" (US) or "ˈlæt.eɪ" (UK). Tip: Keep the "t" soft to maintain fluidity.
Incorrect vowel sounds: Some people mispronounce the first vowel, saying "ˈleɪ.teɪ" instead of "ˈlɑː.teɪ" (US) or "ˈlæt.eɪ" (UK). Tip: Practice the "a" sound as in "father" for the correct vowel.
Adding an extra vowel: Learners sometimes add an unnecessary vowel, saying "la-teh" or "la-tey". The correct pronunciation is "ˈlɑː.teɪ" (US) or "ˈlæt.eɪ" (UK). Tip: Focus on the two distinct syllables without extra sounds.
Neglecting the "e": Some might pronounce it as "la-t" or "lat". The correct form is "ˈlɑː.teɪ" (US) or "ˈlæt.eɪ" (UK), with both syllables clearly articulated. Tip: Always include the "e" to ensure clarity in pronunciation.
