When I first moved to the United States, I thought I knew how to pronounce Argentina. I would say \"ar-gen-tee-nuh\" with the emphasis on the first syllable. Little did I know that my pronunciation was completely wrong. My American friends would correct me and tell me that the correct way to say it is \"ar-gen-tee-na,\" with the emphasis on the last syllable.
The Correct Pronunciation
After being corrected multiple times, I decided to do some research on the correct pronunciation of Argentina. I found out that the word is pronounced \"ahr-juhn-TEE-nuh\" in English. The stress is on the second to last syllable, and the \"r\" sound is pronounced softly.Conclusion
