Common mistakes of ares pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable in "ares" as /ˈɛər.ɪz/. This alters the intended pronunciation. Tip: Remember to place the primary stress on the first syllable: /ˈɛər.iz/.
Incorrect vowel sound: Some pronounce "ares" with a short "a" sound, like /æ/. This is not standard. Tip: Use the long "a" sound as in /ɛər/ to ensure clarity in pronunciation.
Overemphasizing the "r": A common mistake is to overly roll the "r" in "ares," resulting in /ˈɛərs/. This can sound unnatural. Tip: Keep the "r" sound smooth and subtle, focusing on the vowel sounds.
Adding an extra syllable: Some may mistakenly pronounce "ares" as /ˈɛər.ɪs/, adding an unnecessary syllable. Tip: Stick to the two-syllable structure: /ˈɛər.iz/ to maintain correct pronunciation.
Confusing with "airs": Learners sometimes confuse "ares" with "airs," pronouncing it as /ɛrz/. This changes the meaning. Tip: Distinguish by focusing on the vowel sounds; "ares" has a clear /ɛər/ sound.
