Common mistakes of haze pronunciation
- Misplacing the vowel sound: Many learners pronounce "haze" with a short "a" sound, like in "cat." The correct pronunciation is /heɪz/ in both US and UK English. Tip: Focus on the long "a" sound, as in "face."
- Ignoring the "h" sound: Some may drop the initial "h," saying "aze" instead of "haze." This alters the word entirely. The correct pronunciation starts with /h/. Tip: Practice the "h" sound by breathing out gently before saying "haze."
- Stressing the wrong syllable: "Haze" is a single-syllable word, but some might mistakenly add a secondary stress, leading to confusion. The correct stress is on the only syllable: /heɪz/. Tip: Remember, there's no extra syllable to stress.
- Confusing with similar words: Learners often mix up "haze" with "has" due to similar starting sounds. "Haze" is pronounced /heɪz/, while "has" is /hæz/. Tip: Practice by saying both words in pairs to differentiate their sounds.
- Overemphasizing the "z" sound: Some may pronounce "haze" with an exaggerated "z," making it sound harsh. The correct pronunciation is softer, /heɪz/. Tip: Relax your tongue and teeth when pronouncing the "z" to achieve a smoother sound.
