Common mistakes of patisserie pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "pati-ˈsserie". In both US and UK English, the primary stress is on the last syllable: "pəˈtɪs.ə.ri". Tip: Focus on the final syllable for correct emphasis.
  2. Incorrect vowel sounds: Many pronounce the first syllable as "pat" instead of "pə". The correct pronunciation is "pə" as in "sofa" in both US and UK English. Tip: Practice saying "pə" to master the initial vowel.
  3. Ignoring the "s" sound: Some may say "patisserie" as "patisserie" without the "s" sound. The "s" is pronounced like "s" in "see". Tip: Emphasize the "s" to make the word clear.
  4. Overemphasizing the "r": In "patisserie", the "r" should be soft and not rolled. Many learners pronounce it strongly, leading to "patisser-ree". Tip: Keep the "r" light, as in "far", to sound more natural.
  5. Mispronouncing the final "ie": Some may say "patisserie" as "patisser-ee". The correct ending is "ri", pronounced like "ree" in both US and UK English. Tip: Practice the "ri" ending to ensure accuracy.
