Common mistakes of regime pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sound: Many people pronounce "regime" with an "a" sound, like "raze." The correct pronunciation is /rəˈʒiːm/ in US and /reɪˈʒiːm/ in UK. Tip: Focus on the "ʒ" sound, as in "measure."
- Stress misplacement: Some learners stress the first syllable, saying "RE-gime." The correct stress is on the second syllable: /rəˈʒiːm/ (US) and /reɪˈʒiːm/ (UK). Tip: Practice saying the second syllable louder to emphasize it.
- Overemphasizing the "g": A common mistake is to pronounce "g" like "g" in "go." In "regime," it should sound like "zh" as in "vision." Tip: Listen to native speakers to catch the subtle "ʒ" sound.
- Missing the final "e": Some may drop the final "e," pronouncing it as "regim." The correct pronunciation includes the "e" sound, /rəˈʒiːm/ (US) and /reɪˈʒiːm/ (UK). Tip: Always finish the word with a clear "m" sound.
- Confusing with "regimen": Learners sometimes mix up "regime" with "regimen," pronouncing them similarly. "Regime" refers to a government or system, while "regimen" is a prescribed course of medical treatment. Tip: Remember their distinct meanings to avoid confusion.
