Even though 'fans' can refer to people of any gender, the word itself is treated as masculine in Spanish: 'los fans' (the fans).

Mistake: "Using 'fán' with an accent mark for the singular."

Correction: The singular is simply 'fan' (no accent mark), as it’s an English loanword. The plural is 'fans'.

Pronounce it just like the English word 'fans,' not trying to force a Spanish vowel sound onto the 'a'.
