Common mistakes of google pronunciation
- Stress placement: Some learners mistakenly stress the second syllable, saying "goo-GLE." The correct stress is on the first syllable: /ˈɡuː.ɡəl/. Tip: Keep the emphasis on the long "goo-" at the start.
- Overemphasizing the initial /ɡ/: A few pronounce the first "g" too harshly, like "GUH-guhl." The correct pronunciation is a smooth /ɡ/ at the beginning: /ˈɡuː.ɡəl/. Tip: Let the /ɡ/ blend smoothly into the vowel.
- Vowel shortening: Learners often use a short /ʊ/ as in "good," pronouncing it /ˈɡʊ.ɡəl/. The correct vowel is the long /uː/, as in "food": /ˈɡuː.ɡəl/. Tip: Stretch the "oo" to make it sound natural.
- Dropping the second /ɡ/: Some reduce it to /ˈɡuː.əl/, skipping the middle consonant. The correct form has both /ɡ/ sounds: /ˈɡuː.ɡəl/. Tip: Clearly pronounce the second /ɡ/ to keep the word intact.
- Weak final /l/: Sometimes the ending "l" is dropped or muffled, resulting in /ˈɡuː.ɡə/. The proper pronunciation finishes with a clear /l/: /ˈɡuː.ɡəl/. Tip: Lightly lift your tongue to the roof of your mouth to pronounce the /l/ cleanly.
