Common mistakes of quiche pronunciation
- Misplacing the vowel sound: Many pronounce "quiche" as "kwich" with a short "i" sound. Correctly, it should be pronounced as /kiːʃ/ in both US and UK English. Tip: Focus on the long "ee" sound to avoid confusion.
- Ignoring the "qu" sound: Some speakers say "quiche" starting with a "kw" sound, like "kwich". The correct pronunciation begins with a "k" sound followed by a long "ee". Tip: Practice saying "key" to get the initial sound right.
- Adding an extra syllable: It's common to hear "quiche" pronounced with three syllables, as in "kwee-shuh". However, it should only have one syllable: /kiːʃ/. Tip: Say the word quickly to reinforce its single-syllable nature.
- Mispronouncing the ending: Some people mistakenly say "quiche" with a hard "ch", like "kwee-ch" instead of the correct soft "sh" sound. The proper pronunciation is /kiːʃ/. Tip: Think of the word "she" to help with the ending sound.
- Overemphasizing the "i": A frequent error is to stress the "i" in "quiche", leading to a pronunciation like "kwi-chay". The correct stress is on the "ee" sound, pronounced as /kiːʃ/. Tip: Break the word down: "ki" + "sh" for clarity.
