How to pronounce

banal

If you're a non-native speaker of English, learning how to pronounce words correctly is an essential part of speaking and understanding the language. One word you may struggle to pronounce is "banal". This article will provide some tips on how to get the pronunciation just right.

The first syllable of "banal" is pronounced as "bay". To produce this sound, your mouth should be slightly open and you should allow your lips to remain closed. The "ay" sound is similar to the sound you make when you say the word "day".

The second syllable of "banal" is pronounced as "nal". Start with the "n" sound and round your lips slightly. The "n" should be followed by the "ah" sound, as if you are starting to say the word "father". Finally, finish with the "l" sound and keep your lips slightly rounded.

To finish, combine the two syllables to produce the word "banal". Make sure to emphasize the "n" sound and keep your mouth slightly open when you say it.

With some practice, you should be able to pronounce "banal" correctly.
