Common mistakes of cheyenne pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "chey-ENNE" /ʃaɪˈɛn/. This is incorrect; the primary stress is on the first syllable. Tip: Remember to emphasize the first part: "cheyenne" /ʃaɪˈæn/.
- Incorrect vowel sound: A common mistake is pronouncing "cheyenne" with a short "e" sound, resulting in "chey-EN" /ʃaɪˈɛn/. The correct pronunciation has a long "a" sound. Tip: Focus on the "ai" as in "my" for clarity.
- Adding an extra syllable: Some may say "chey-ANNE" /ʃaɪˈæn/, adding an unnecessary syllable. This alters the word significantly. Tip: Practice saying "cheyenne" /ʃaɪˈæn/ as a two-syllable word to avoid confusion.
- Mispronouncing the "ch": The "ch" in "cheyenne" can be mispronounced as "k" or "sh," leading to "kye-enne" or "shy-enne." Tip: Remember that "ch" is pronounced as "sh," making it "shy" plus "enne."
- Ignoring the silent letters: Some learners pronounce the "n" in "cheyenne," saying "cheyenn." This is incorrect as the "n" is silent. Tip: Focus on the pronunciation: "cheyenne" /ʃaɪˈæn/ with no "n" sound.
