Common mistakes of brasserie pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "bra-ˈsə-ree". The correct stress is on the first syllable: "ˈbræs.ə.ri". Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable when saying "brasserie".
Vowel confusion: Some people pronounce "brasserie" with a long "a" sound, resulting in "bra-ˈser-ee". The correct pronunciation uses a short "a": "ˈbræs". Tip: Practice saying "brass" to get the vowel sound right.
Ignoring the final "e": A common mistake is to drop the final "e", pronouncing it as "ˈbræs.ri". In English, the "e" is silent but still should be acknowledged in the flow. Tip: Always include a soft ending when pronouncing "brasserie".
Overemphasizing the "r": Some learners pronounce "brasserie" with a heavy "r" sound, saying "ˈbrar.sə.ri". The "r" should be softer, especially in the second syllable. Tip: Keep the "r" light and smooth for a more natural sound.
Mispronouncing the "s": Some may mistakenly pronounce the "s" as a "z", saying "brasserie" like "bra-ˈzɛr-ee". In "brasserie", the "s" is pronounced as an "s" sound. Tip: Focus on the clear "s" sound to ensure correct pronunciation.
