Common mistakes of corgi pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "cor-GI" instead of the correct "COR-gi" (ˈkɔrɡi in US, ˈkɔːɡi in UK). Tip: Always emphasize the first syllable for accurate pronunciation.
Overemphasizing "g": People might pronounce "corgi" with a hard "g" sound, like "corg-ee" instead of the softer "gi" (ˈkɔrɡi in US, ˈkɔːɡi in UK). Tip: Practice saying "gi" as in "giant" to soften the sound.
Ignoring the "r": Some learners pronounce it as "caw-gee," dropping the "r" sound (ˈkɔrɡi in US, ˈkɔːɡi in UK). Tip: Focus on clearly articulating the "r" to maintain the correct pronunciation.
Incorrect vowel sound: A common mistake is pronouncing the "o" as "aw," leading to "caw-gee" instead of "corgi" (ˈkɔrɡi in US, ˈkɔːɡi in UK). Tip: Practice with words like "or" to get the right vowel sound.
Mispronouncing the "i": Some may say "corg-ee" with a long "i" instead of the short "i" sound (ˈkɔrɡi in US, ˈkɔːɡi in UK). Tip: Use "igloo" as a reference for the correct short "i" sound in "corgi."
