Common mistakes of range pronunciation
- Misplacing the vowel sound: Some learners pronounce "range" with a short "a" sound, like "ran". The correct pronunciation is /reɪndʒ/ in both US and UK English. Tip: Focus on the long "a" sound, as in "day".
- Ignoring the "g" sound: A common mistake is to drop the "g" at the end, saying "ran". The correct pronunciation includes the "g", pronounced as /dʒ/. Tip: Practice saying "range" slowly to emphasize the "g" sound.
- Stressing the wrong syllable: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ran-ge". The correct stress pattern is on the first syllable, /ˈreɪndʒ/. Tip: Remember that "range" is a one-syllable word, so keep it concise.
- Overemphasizing the "r": Non-native speakers may pronounce the "r" too harshly, making it sound unnatural. The correct pronunciation is softer, /reɪndʒ/. Tip: Relax your tongue and lips when saying the "r" to achieve a smoother sound.
- Confusing "range" with similar words: Some may mix up "range" with "rain" or "ranged". While "range" is /reɪndʒ/, "rain" is /reɪn/, and "ranged" is /reɪndʒd/. Tip: Pay attention to the context and practice each word separately to avoid confusion.
