Common mistakes of bronze pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the vowel sound: Some learners pronounce "bronze" as /brɒnz/ (UK) or /brɑnz/ (US), confusing it with "brawn." Tip: Focus on the "o" sound, which should be pronounced like "on" in "song."
  2. Overemphasizing the "n": A common mistake is to pronounce "bronze" with a heavy "n" sound, leading to /brɒnz/ or /brɑnz/. Tip: Keep the "n" subtle, blending it smoothly with the preceding vowel.
  3. Ignoring the final "z": Some may pronounce "bronze" as /brɒn/ or /brɑn/, dropping the "z" sound at the end. Tip: Ensure the "z" is clear, as it is essential for correct pronunciation.
  4. Confusing with "bronzed": Learners sometimes mix up "bronze" with "bronzed," leading to a longer vowel sound. Tip: Remember that "bronze" is pronounced /brɒnz/ (UK) or /brɑnz/ (US) with a short vowel sound.
  5. Stressing the wrong syllable: Some might incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "bron-ZE." Tip: The stress should be on the first syllable, pronounced as "BRON-ze," to sound natural.
