Common mistakes of conjuring pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Some learners put the stress on the second syllable, saying "con-JUR-ing" instead of "CON-jur-ing" (ˈkɒn.dʒər.ɪŋ in UK, ˈkɑn.dʒɚ.ɪŋ in US). Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable.
  2. Overemphasizing "j": People might pronounce the "j" too harshly, making it sound like "con-JUHR-ing." This can confuse listeners. Tip: Keep the "j" soft and smooth, as in "juice."
  3. Dropping the "g": Some may say "conjurin'" instead of "conjuring," omitting the final "g." This is common in casual speech but incorrect in formal contexts. Tip: Always pronounce the "g" clearly to maintain formality.
  4. Incorrect vowel sound: Learners sometimes pronounce the first vowel as "ah" instead of the correct "o" sound, saying "cahn-juring." This can lead to misunderstandings. Tip: Focus on the "o" sound in "con" to ensure clarity.
  5. Confusing the "r" sound: Some might pronounce "conjuring" with a more pronounced "r," sounding like "con-jur-ing." This can alter the word's flow. Tip: Keep the "r" subtle and blend it smoothly into the following vowel.
