Common mistakes of ngo pronunciation

Misplacing the stress: Some learners may incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ngo" as /ˌɛnˈɡoʊ/. Tip: Remember that the primary stress falls on the first syllable: /ˈɛn.ɡoʊ/ in US English and /ˈɛŋ.ɡəʊ/ in UK English.
Incorrect vowel sound: A common mistake is pronouncing the "e" in "ngo" as a long vowel, resulting in /ˈiːn.ɡoʊ/. Tip: Use the short "e" sound /ɛ/ as in "bed" to achieve the correct pronunciation.
Overemphasizing the "g": Some might pronounce "ngo" with a hard "g," saying /ˈnɡoʊ/. Tip: The "g" should have a soft sound, almost blending into the "n," resulting in /ˈɛn.ɡoʊ/ in US English.
Omitting the vowel: A frequent error is dropping the vowel sound entirely, leading to /ˈnɡoʊ/. Tip: Ensure you pronounce both syllables clearly, with the vowel /ɛ/ present in the first syllable.
Confusing with similar words: Learners may confuse "ngo" with "go," pronouncing it as /ɡoʊ/. Tip: Focus on the initial "n" sound to differentiate "ngo" from "go," ensuring the correct starting sound is /ɛn/.
