Common mistakes of aioli pronunciation

Misplacing the stress: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ai-'oli". The correct stress is on the last syllable, pronounced as "ˌeɪˈoʊli" in US English and "ˌaɪˈəʊli" in UK English. Tip: Focus on emphasizing the "o" sound.
Incorrect vowel sounds: Some learners pronounce "aioli" with an "a" sound like in "cat", saying "ˈaɪoli". The first syllable should sound like "ay" as in "say". Tip: Practice saying "ay" before moving to the full word.
Omitting the "i" sound: A common mistake is to drop the final "i", pronouncing it as "ˈeɪoʊl". The word should be fully pronounced as "ˌeɪˈoʊli" or "ˌaɪˈəʊli". Tip: Always finish with a clear "i" sound.
Confusing with similar words: Some confuse "aioli" with "oli", saying "ˈeɪoʊ" instead. Remember, "aioli" has a distinct pronunciation with both "a" and "i" present. Tip: Break it down into syllables: "ay-o-li".
Mispronouncing the "o" sound: Some say "ai-'o-lee" with a long "o" sound. The correct pronunciation has a shorter "o" sound, as in "go". Tip: Listen to audio examples to master the correct vowel length.
