Common mistakes of epergne pronunciation

- Ignoring the silent letters: Some may pronounce the "g" in "epergne", resulting in /ɛpərˈɡɛn/. The correct pronunciation is /ˈɛpərn/. Tip: Focus on the silent "g" to avoid confusion.
- Overemphasizing the final sound: Learners often pronounce "epergne" with a strong ending, like /ˈɛpərnɛ/. The correct pronunciation ends softly with /ˈɛpərn/. Tip: Keep the final sound light and subtle.
