The spelling of the word "hanneman" can be confusing for non-native English speakers due to the presence of the letter "n" after two consonants "h" and "m". In IPA phonetic transcription, it is pronounced /ˈhænəmən/. The "n" represents the nasal sound which occurs when the air flows out through the nose while pronouncing the "m". Therefore, the correct spelling is "hanneman" even though it might appear counterintuitive.
