Common mistakes of ogle pronunciation

Misplacing the stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "o-GLE". The correct pronunciation is "ˈoʊ.ɡəl" in US English and "ˈɒ.ɡəl" in UK English. Tip: Focus on emphasizing the first syllable.
Incorrect vowel sound: Many pronounce "ogle" with a short "o" sound, saying "ˈɒ.ɡəl". In US English, it should be pronounced with a long "o" sound as in "go", "oʊ". Tip: Practice saying "go" to get the correct vowel sound.
Adding an extra syllable: Some might say "o-guh-l" instead of "ogle". This adds an unnecessary syllable. The correct pronunciation has only two syllables. Tip: Break it down into "o" and "gle" to simplify.
Confusing with similar words: Learners sometimes confuse "ogle" with "ogle" (to stare) and "ogle" (to ogle). Ensure you differentiate by focusing on context. Tip: Remember that "ogle" means to look at in a flirtatious way.
Mispronouncing the "g": Some may pronounce the "g" as a "j" sound, saying "o-jəl". The "g" in "ogle" should be hard, as in "go". Tip: Think of the word "go" to reinforce the correct hard "g" sound.
