Common mistakes of cloche pronunciation

Misplacing the stress: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, saying "clo-CHE." The correct pronunciation emphasizes the first syllable, /ˈklɒʃ/ (UK) or /ˈkloʊʃ/ (US). Tip: Focus on saying "CLO" with more emphasis.
Ignoring the "ch" sound: A common mistake is pronouncing "cloche" with a hard "ch" as in "church." Instead, it should sound like "sh," /ʃ/. Tip: Practice saying "shoe" to get the "sh" sound right.
Overemphasizing the "o": Some may pronounce "cloche" with a long "o" sound, as in "close." The correct sound is shorter, resembling the "o" in "lot," /ɒ/ (UK) or /oʊ/ (US). Tip: Keep the vowel sound brief.
Mispronouncing as "cloch": Some learners mistakenly pronounce "cloche" as "cloch," rhyming with "loch." This is incorrect; the final sound is /ʃ/. Tip: Remember that "cloche" ends with a soft "sh" sound.
Confusing the vowel sounds: Some may use the wrong vowel sound, saying "cloch" with an "aw" sound. The correct pronunciation has a different vowel sound, /ɒ/ (UK) or /oʊ/ (US). Tip: Listen to native speakers to distinguish the vowel sounds.
