Common mistakes of enhance pronunciation
- Vowel confusion: Many learners mispronounce "enhance" by confusing the vowel sound. In US English, it is pronounced as /ɪnˈhæns/ while in UK English, it is /ɪnˈhɑːns/. Tip: Focus on the short "e" sound in the first syllable.
- Stress misplacement: Some people place stress incorrectly on the first syllable, saying "EN-hance" instead of the correct "en-HANCE". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the second syllable, "HANCE".
- Missing "n" sound: A common mistake is omitting the "n" sound, leading to pronunciations like "eh-hance". This can confuse listeners. Tip: Practice saying the "n" clearly at the end of the first syllable.
- Overemphasizing the "h": Some learners may overemphasize the "h" sound at the beginning, making it sound like "h-enhance". Tip: Ensure the "h" is soft and blends smoothly with the "en" sound.
- Incorrect final sound: A few might pronounce "enhance" with a final "s" sound that is too harsh, sounding like "enhance-s". Tip: The final sound should be a soft "s", without an added "s" after it.
