Common mistakes of chaise pronunciation

Misplacing the vowel sound: Many pronounce "chaise" with a short "a" sound, like "chase" /tʃeɪs/. The correct pronunciation is /ʃeɪz/ in both US and UK English. Tip: Focus on the "sh" sound at the beginning.
Ignoring the final "e": Some learners omit the final "e" and say "chais" /tʃaɪs/. This leads to a misunderstanding of the word. Tip: Remember that the "e" is silent but essential for correct pronunciation.
Incorrect stress placement: A common mistake is stressing the first syllable, saying "CHAise" instead of the correct "chaise" (/ʃeɪz/). Tip: Practice placing stress on the second syllable to improve clarity.
Confusing with similar words: Some may confuse "chaise" with "chase" /tʃeɪs/ or "case" /keɪs/. This can lead to miscommunication. Tip: Distinguish by practicing the "sh" sound in "chaise" to avoid mixing them up.
Using a hard "ch" sound: Learners sometimes pronounce "chaise" with a hard "ch" as in "cat" /kæt/, resulting in "chaise" sounding incorrect. Tip: Use the softer "sh" sound /ʃ/ to ensure proper pronunciation.
