Do you struggle with pronouncing the word nostalgia? Don't worry - you're not alone! Many English language learners have difficulty correctly pronouncing this tricky word.

To pronounce nostalgia correctly, start with the second syllable: “stal”. The vowel sound in this syllable is a short “ah” sound. The tongue should be in a relaxed, neutral position and the lips should be slightly parted.

The first syllable is “nos”. The sound is similar to the “oh” in the word “go”. The tongue should be in a slightly higher position than for the second syllable.

Put the two syllables together and you have nostalgia. The emphasis should be on the second syllable.

To practice, try saying the word slowly and carefully several times in a row. You can also try repeating the word after a native speaker.

With practice, you'll be able to correctly pronounce nostalgia in no time!
