Common mistakes of fudge pronunciation
- Misplacing the vowel sound: Some learners may pronounce "fudge" with a long "u" sound, like "fudj". This is incorrect; the correct pronunciation is /fʌdʒ/ in both US and UK English. Tip: Focus on the short "u" sound, as in "cup".
- Ignoring the "d" sound: A common mistake is to drop the "d" sound, saying "fudge" as "fuhj". This results in a loss of clarity. The correct pronunciation includes the "d" sound, /fʌdʒ/. Tip: Emphasize the "d" to maintain the word's integrity.
- Overemphasizing the "g": Some may pronounce "fudge" with a heavy emphasis on the "g", sounding like "fud-guh". This alters the intended sound. The correct pronunciation is /fʌdʒ/, with a soft "g". Tip: Practice saying "fudge" quickly to smooth out the sound.
- Confusing with similar words: Learners might confuse "fudge" with "judge", leading to mispronunciation. While they share the /dʒ/ sound, the initial consonants differ. The correct pronunciation for "fudge" is /fʌdʒ/. Tip: Focus on the initial "f" sound to differentiate the words.
- Mispronouncing the ending: Some may pronounce "fudge" as "fudj" without the correct "j" sound. This can lead to misunderstandings. The accurate pronunciation is /fʌdʒ/. Tip: Ensure you articulate the "j" clearly at the end of the word.
