Pronunciation Rule

The "Square" Rule

When a word contains two of the same letter in a row — a double consonant (LL, SS, PP) or a double vowel (OO, EE) — do not repeat the Tut syllable twice. Instead, say "square" + the syllable once. This keeps Tut smooth, rhythmic, and natural when spoken aloud.

"square" is spoken aloud as a word — it signals to the listener that the letter appears twice in the original English word. This applies equally to double consonants and double vowels.

Watch Out

Common Beginner Mistakes

Skipping the vowel in "CAT"

Wrongcut-tut
Rightcut-ay-tut

Every letter must be spoken — never skip vowels.

Dropping vowels mid-word

WrongForgetting vowels entirely
RightPronounce every single letter

Vowels carry the rhythm of Tut. Leave one out and the word collapses.

Rushing before fluency

WrongSpeaking too fast too early
RightBuild rhythm first, then speed

Slow down. Tut is rhythmic. Speed comes naturally after the rhythm is locked in.
