Common mistakes of angry pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "an-GRY" instead of the correct "AN-gry" (ˈæŋɡri). Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
- Vowel confusion: Some people pronounce the "a" in "angry" as in "cat" rather than the correct "a" as in "man" (ˈæŋɡri). Tip: Practice saying "angry" with the short "a" sound to avoid confusion.
- Overemphasizing the "g": It's common to overemphasize the "g" sound, making it sound like "an-gree" instead of the correct "angry" (ˈæŋɡri). Tip: Make sure to blend the "ng" sound smoothly without pausing.
- Dropping the "r": Some speakers may drop the "r" sound, pronouncing it as "ang-gee" instead of "angry" (ˈæŋɡri). Tip: Focus on clearly articulating the "r" to ensure clarity in your speech.
- Incorrect vowel length: Learners sometimes stretch the vowel sounds, saying "aaangry" instead of the correct "angry" (ˈæŋɡri). Tip: Keep the vowel sounds short and crisp to maintain the word's proper pronunciation.
