Common mistakes of monarch pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, pronouncing it as "mo-NARCH" (/məˈnɑrk/ in US, /məˈnɑːk/ in UK). Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable: "MON-arch".
- Omitting the "o": It's common to pronounce "monarch" as "man-arch" (/mænˈɑrk/ in US, /mænˈɑːk/ in UK). Tip: Ensure you include the "o" sound, making it "MON-arch".
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some might say "monarch" with a short "o" sound, like "mon-arch" (/mɒnˈɑrk/ in US, /mɒnˈɑːk/ in UK). Tip: Use the long "o" sound to pronounce it correctly: "MON-arch".
- Overemphasizing the "ch": Learners may pronounce "monarch" with a strong "ch" sound, like "mon-arch" (/mɒnˈɑːrk/). Tip: The "ch" is soft, as in "arch", so keep it subtle.
- Adding an extra syllable: Some people mistakenly pronounce "monarch" as "mon-a-arch" (/ˈmɒnərk/). Tip: Keep it to two syllables: "MON-arch".
