Common mistakes of maraschino pronunciation

Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ma-ra-SHEE-no". The correct stress is on the third syllable: /ˌmærəˈskiːnoʊ/ (US) or /ˌmærəˈkiːnəʊ/ (UK). Tip: Remember to emphasize the "chi" syllable.
Mispronouncing the "ch": Some pronounce "maraschino" with a hard "ch" as in "chop", resulting in "ma-ra-CHI-no". The correct pronunciation uses a soft "ch" as in "cheese". Tip: Focus on the "chi" sounding like "key".
Omitting the last vowel: A common mistake is dropping the final "o", resulting in "maraschin". This alters the word's identity and meaning. The correct pronunciation includes the last vowel: /ˌmærəˈskiːnoʊ/ (US) or /ˌmærəˈkiːnəʊ/ (UK). Tip: Always finish with the "no".
Incorrect vowel sounds: Some learners mispronounce the first vowel, saying "maraschino" with an "a" sound as in "cat". It should have a short "a" as in "car": /ˌmærəˈskiːnoʊ/ (US) or /ˌmærəˈkiːnəʊ/ (UK). Tip: Practice the "a" sound by saying "mare".
Blending syllables: Some people blend the syllables together, saying "maraschino" too quickly, which can lead to confusion. Each syllable should be distinct: /ˌmærəˈskiːnoʊ/ (US) or /ˌmærəˈkiːnəʊ/ (UK). Tip: Slow down and separate each part clearly.
