Common mistakes of glossier pronunciation

Misplacing the stress: Many speakers incorrectly stress the first syllable, saying "GLA-sier" instead of the correct "GLOS-sier" (ˈɡlɑː.si.ər in UK, ˈɡlɑ.sɪ.ɚ in US). Tip: Remember to emphasize the second syllable.
Overemphasizing the "g": Some people pronounce "glossier" with a hard "g," making it sound like "glo-sier." The correct pronunciation starts with a softer "g" sound (ˈɡlɑː.si.ər in UK, ˈɡlɑ.sɪ.ɚ in US). Tip: Focus on a gentle "g" sound.
Ignoring the vowel sound: A common mistake is to pronounce the second syllable as "see" instead of the correct "sier." This changes the word's meaning (ˈɡlɑː.si.ər in UK, ˈɡlɑ.sɪ.ɚ in US). Tip: Practice the "sier" part to ensure clarity.
Mispronouncing the ending: Some speakers drop the final "er," saying "glossy" instead of "glossier." This alters the comparison (ˈɡlɑː.si.ər in UK, ˈɡlɑ.sɪ.ɚ in US). Tip: Always include the "er" to maintain the comparative form.
Using a short "o" sound: A few may pronounce "glossier" with a short "o," resulting in "glosser." The correct vowel sound is long (ˈɡlɑː.si.ər in UK, ˈɡlɑ.sɪ.ɚ in US). Tip: Make sure to elongate the "o" for accuracy.
