Common mistakes of paschal pronunciation

Incorrect vowel sound: Many pronounce "paschal" with a short "a" as in "cat" instead of the correct sound /ˈpæskəl/ (US) or /ˈpɑːskəl/ (UK). Tip: Focus on the "a" sounding like "ah" in "father."
Misplaced stress: Some people place stress on the second syllable, saying "pas-CHAL" instead of the correct "PAS-chal" /ˈpæskəl/ (US) or /ˈpɑːskəl/ (UK). Tip: Emphasize the first syllable to get it right.
Overemphasis on "ch": A common mistake is to pronounce the "ch" in "paschal" as /tʃ/ (as in "church") instead of the correct /k/. Tip: Remember that "ch" here is pronounced like "k" in "cat."
Dropping the final syllable: Some speakers tend to shorten "paschal" to "pasch," omitting the final "al." This can lead to confusion. Tip: Always pronounce the full "chal" to maintain clarity.
Confusing with "pascha": Some people mix "paschal" with "pascha," which refers to Easter in some cultures. "Paschal" /ˈpæskəl/ (US) or /ˈpɑːskəl/ (UK) specifically relates to Easter's context. Tip: Keep the definitions clear to avoid mixing them up.
