Common mistakes of changing pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Some learners incorrectly place stress on the second syllable, saying "chang-ING". The correct pronunciation is "ˈtʃeɪn.dʒɪŋ" (US) and "ˈtʃeɪn.dʒɪŋ" (UK). Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable.
  2. Overemphasizing the "g": A common mistake is pronouncing the "g" in "changing" too strongly, sounding like "chang-ing". The correct pronunciation has a soft "g" sound. Tip: Focus on a smooth transition from the "n" to the "j".
  3. Dropping the "n": Some might say "chaing" instead of "changing". This omission alters the word entirely. The correct pronunciation includes the "n" sound as in "ˈtʃeɪn.dʒɪŋ". Tip: Ensure you articulate the "n" clearly.
  4. Confusing with "change": Learners may pronounce "changing" as "change" by dropping the ending. "Changing" has an added "ing" sound. The full pronunciation is "ˈtʃeɪn.dʒɪŋ". Tip: Practice saying "ing" at the end of similar words to reinforce the sound.
  5. Mispronouncing the vowel sound: Some might pronounce the first vowel incorrectly, saying "chonging". The correct vowel sound is a long "a", as in "ˈtʃeɪn.dʒɪŋ". Tip: Listen to native speakers to grasp the correct vowel pronunciation.
