Common mistakes of assuaged pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Some learners put stress on the second syllable, saying "as-SUA-ged" instead of "as-SWAJED" (ˈæs.weɪdʒd). Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the second syllable, "SWAJED".
Incorrect vowel sounds: A common mistake is mispronouncing the "u" as "ʌ" (as in "cup") instead of the correct "eɪ" sound. Tip: Practice saying "sway" to get the right vowel sound before adding "ged".
Omitting the final "d": Some may say "assuage" without the final "d," pronouncing it as "as-SWAJ." Tip: Always include the "d" sound at the end to pronounce "assuaged" correctly.
Confusing with similar words: Learners might confuse "assuaged" with "assuage" (the base form). Tip: Remember that "assuaged" indicates past action, while "assuage" is present tense.
Overemphasizing the "g": Some may pronounce the "g" too strongly, saying "as-SWAJ-ged" with an exaggerated "g." Tip: Keep the "g" soft and blend it smoothly with the preceding sounds for clarity.
