How Do You Spell SLAMA?

Pronunciation: [slˈɑːmə] (IPA)

The spelling of the word "slama" may seem tricky at first, but it can be easily explained using phonetic transcription. The word is pronounced as /slæmə/, with emphasis on the first syllable. The "s" and "l" sounds are pronounced separately, followed by the short "a" sound as in "cat". The "m" sound is then added and the final "a" sound is pronounced with a schwa sound in the back of the throat. Remembering the phonetics can help ensure the correct spelling of "slama" every time.
