Common mistakes of bouillon pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "boul-LON" instead of the correct "BOO-yon" (ˈbuː.jɒn in UK, ˈbuː.jɑːn in US). Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some pronounce the first syllable as "bowl" instead of "boo." This leads to saying "bowl-yon." The correct pronunciation is "BOO-yon." Tip: Focus on the "oo" sound, as in "food."
- Overemphasizing the "n": A common mistake is to overly pronounce the "n" at the end, resulting in "bouillon" sounding like "bouillonn." The correct ending is softer, simply "yon." Tip: Practice saying "yon" quickly to soften the "n."
- Ignoring the "l": Some might skip the "l" entirely, pronouncing it as "boo-yawn." The correct pronunciation includes the "l," making it "BOO-yon." Tip: Make sure to articulate the "l" clearly to maintain the correct sound.
- Mispronouncing the "ou": Some speakers confuse "bouillon" with "boulanger," saying "boul-yawn" instead. The correct pronunciation is "BOO-yon." Tip: Pay attention to the "ou" sound, which should be pronounced as "oo."
