Common mistakes of brochure pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "bro-'chure" instead of the correct "'bro-chure". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, as indicated by IPA /broʊˈʃʊr/ (US) and /brəʊˈʃʊə/ (UK).
  2. Incorrect vowel sound: Some people pronounce "brochure" with a short "o" sound, like "bɒr-'chure". This is incorrect. Tip: Focus on using the long "o" sound as in /broʊ/ (US) or /brəʊ/ (UK) for accuracy.
  3. Omitting the "r": A common mistake is dropping the "r" sound, saying "bo-shure" instead of "brochure". Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "r" clearly, as in /ʃʊr/ (US) and /ʃʊə/ (UK) to maintain clarity.
  4. Overemphasizing the "ch": Some learners say "bro-'shure" with too much emphasis on the "ch". Tip: The "ch" should be pronounced smoothly as /ʃ/ without extra stress, keeping the flow natural.
  5. Mispronouncing the final syllable: A frequent error is pronouncing the last syllable as "ure" like "your". This is incorrect. Tip: Use the correct pronunciation /ʊr/ (US) or /ʊə/ (UK) to avoid confusion.
