"Bartol" is a word that can be difficult to spell due to its uncommon pronunciation. It is pronounced as /ˈbɑrtɔl/, with the stress on the first syllable. The "a" in the first syllable is pronounced as "ah", while the "o" in the second syllable has a short sound. The "t" and "l" sounds are made by placing the tip of the tongue against the front teeth and then pulling it back quickly.
