Common mistakes of bisque pronunciation
- Misplacing the vowel sound: Many pronounce "bisque" with a short "i" sound, like in "bit". Correct pronunciation is /bɪsk/ (US) and /bɪsk/ (UK). Tip: Focus on the "i" sounding like "ih".
- Ignoring the final "que": Some speakers omit the "que" ending, saying "bisk". The correct form is /bɪsk/ with the "que" pronounced. Tip: Remember to articulate the "que" as part of the word.
- Stressing the wrong syllable: A common mistake is to stress the second syllable, saying "bis-QUE". The correct stress is on the first syllable: /ˈbɪsk/. Tip: Emphasize "bis" when saying "bisque".
- Overemphasizing the "s": Some people pronounce "bisque" with a heavy "s" sound, like "biss-k". The correct pronunciation is smoother: /bɪsk/. Tip: Keep the "s" soft and quick to maintain fluidity.
- Confusing with "brisk": Some confuse "bisque" with "brisk", leading to incorrect pronunciation. "Brisk" has a different vowel sound: /brɪsk/. Tip: Distinguish by focusing on the initial "b" and the vowel sound in "bisque".
