Common mistakes of nahuatl pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners place stress incorrectly on "nahuatl". The correct stress is on the second syllable: /ˈnɑː.wɑː.tl/ in US English. Tip: Practice saying "nahuatl" slowly, emphasizing the "wɑː".
- Ignoring the "tl" sound: Some people pronounce "nahuatl" without the "tl" ending, which is crucial. The "tl" is pronounced as a single sound /tl/. Tip: Focus on blending the "t" and "l" together swiftly.
- Overemphasizing vowels: Learners often stretch the vowels too much, especially the "a" in "nahuatl". It should be pronounced more like /nɑː/ rather than /naː/. Tip: Keep the vowel sounds short and crisp.
- Confusing with similar words: Some confuse "nahuatl" with words like "Navajo". While they may sound similar, "nahuatl" has a distinct pronunciation. Tip: Familiarize yourself with "nahuatl" by listening to native speakers.
- Incorrect syllable division: Many divide "nahuatl" into three syllables instead of two, saying "na-hua-tl". The correct division is /nɑː.wɑː.tl/. Tip: Remember that "nahuatl" flows smoothly into the "tl" sound.
