Common mistakes of cabbage pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some learners pronounce "cabbage" with a long "a" sound, like "cah-bbaj" /ˈkæbɪdʒ/. Tip: Remember the short "a" sound /æ/ as in "cat."
- Missing syllable stress: People often stress the second syllable, saying "cab-BA-ge" /kæˈbɪdʒ/. Tip: The primary stress is on the first syllable: "CAB-bage" /ˈkæbɪdʒ/.
- Overemphasizing the "g": Some may pronounce "cabbage" with a hard "g" sound, like "cab-bag" /ˈkæbæɡ/. Tip: The "g" is soft, pronounced as /dʒ/ in "cabbage."
- Skipping the final "e": Learners might say "cabbag" /ˈkæbɪɡ/. Tip: Always include the final "e" sound, which helps maintain the correct pronunciation /ˈkæbɪdʒ/.
- Confusing with similar words: Some confuse "cabbage" with "cabbie" /ˈkæbi/. Tip: Focus on the distinct ending "-age" in "cabbage," pronounced /ɪdʒ/, to differentiate between the two.
