Common mistakes of grant pronunciation

Dropping the final "t": Some learners may pronounce "grant" as "gran" /ɡræn/ instead of including the final "t" sound. Tip: Ensure you articulate the "t" clearly to maintain the word's integrity.
Misplacing stress: Incorrectly stressing the second syllable, saying "grant" as "granT" /ɡrænˈt/ can confuse listeners. Tip: Remember that "grant" has primary stress on the first syllable: /ɡrænt/.
Confusing vowel sounds: Mispronouncing "grant" with a different vowel, like "grent" /ɡrɛnt/, can lead to misunderstandings. Tip: Focus on the short "a" sound /æ/ in "grant" to avoid this mistake.
