Common mistakes of champagne pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "cham-PAGNE". The correct pronunciation is "ˌʃæmˈpeɪn" in US English and "ʃæmˈpeɪn" in UK English. Tip: Focus on placing the primary stress on the last syllable.
- Overemphasizing the "ch": Some learners pronounce "champagne" with a hard "ch" sound, like "ch" in "cat". Instead, use the softer "sh" sound as in "shoe". Tip: Practice saying "sh" before "champagne" to get comfortable.
- Ignoring the silent "g": It's common to hear "champagne" pronounced with a pronounced "g" sound, like "champ-GANE". The "g" is silent, making the correct pronunciation "ˌʃæmˈpeɪn". Tip: Remember that in "champagne", the "g" is not pronounced.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some may say "champagne" with an incorrect vowel sound, like "æ" in "cat". The correct vowel sound is "eɪ" as in "day". Tip: Listen to native speakers to hear the correct vowel pronunciation.
- Skipping the nasal sound: Learners sometimes neglect the nasal sound in the first syllable, making it sound flat. The "n" in "champagne" is pronounced softly. Tip: Practice saying "champagne" with a slight nasal quality in the first syllable.
