Common mistakes of chara pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable as in "cha-RA" /ˌtʃɑːˈrɑː/ (US) instead of the first syllable "CHA-ra" /ˈtʃɑːr.ə/. Tip: Focus on emphasizing the first syllable to sound more natural.
  2. Incorrect vowel sound: A common mistake is pronouncing "chara" with a long "a" as in "day," leading to "chay-ra" /ˈtʃeɪ.rə/. The correct pronunciation uses a short "a" as in "car." Tip: Practice saying "car" to adjust your vowel sound.
  3. Overemphasizing the "r": Some may pronounce "chara" with a strong "r" sound, making it sound like "cha-ra" /ˈtʃɑːr.ə/ (UK). In standard pronunciation, the "r" should be softer. Tip: Relax your tongue when saying the "r" to achieve a smoother sound.
  4. Skipping the second syllable: A frequent error is pronouncing "chara" as a single syllable "char" /tʃɑːr/. This omits the second syllable, altering the word's meaning. Tip: Break the word into two clear syllables: "CHA-ra."
  5. Mispronouncing the "ch" sound: Some learners might say "shara" /ˈʃɑːr.ə/ instead of "chara." The "ch" should sound like "ch" in "chair." Tip: Practice with words that start with "ch" to reinforce the correct sound.
