Common mistakes of chevre pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Many speakers incorrectly stress the first syllable, saying "CHEV-re." The correct pronunciation is ˈʃɛv.rə, with the stress on the second syllable. Tip: Focus on the second syllable to sound more natural.
  2. Incorrect vowel sound: Some pronounce "chevre" with an "ay" sound, like "chev-ray." The correct vowel sound is a short "ɛ," as in "bed." Tip: Practice saying "eh" to get the right vowel sound.
  3. Ignoring the french influence: "Chevre" is a French word, pronounced ˈʃɛv.rə in English. Many forget this and pronounce it phonetically in English. Tip: Remember the French origin to adjust your pronunciation accordingly.
  4. Overemphasizing the "r": Some speakers roll the "r" too much, leading to "chevrr." In English, the "r" is softer, as in "car." Tip: Keep the "r" light and blend it smoothly into the next syllable.
  5. Adding an extra syllable: A common mistake is saying "chev-reh," adding an unnecessary "eh" sound. The correct pronunciation is two syllables: ˈʃɛv.rə. Tip: Practice saying it quickly to avoid adding extra sounds.
