Common mistakes of beverage pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Many learners stress the second syllable "beverage" as /ˈbɛv.ər.ɪdʒ/. Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable /ˈbɛv.ər.ɪdʒ/ in both US and UK pronunciations.
  2. Incorrect vowel sound: Some pronounce "beverage" with an "a" sound, like "bav-er-idge". Tip: Focus on the "e" in the first syllable, pronounced as /ɛ/, not /æ/.
  3. Omitting the second syllable: A common mistake is saying "bev-idge" instead of "beverage". Tip: Ensure you articulate all syllables clearly: /ˈbɛv.ər.ɪdʒ/.
  4. Confusing with similar words: Learners sometimes confuse "beverage" with "average". Tip: Pay attention to the initial sound; "beverage" starts with /b/, while "average" starts with /ˈæv/.
