Common mistakes of sachet pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "sa-ˈʃeɪ" instead of the correct "ˈsæʃ.eɪ" (US) or "ˈʃæʃ.eɪ" (UK). Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable, "sach".
Incorrect vowel sound: Some pronounce "sachet" with a long "a" sound, saying "sah-" instead of the correct short "a" as in "cat". This leads to "ˈsɑːʃ.eɪ" (US) instead of "ˈsæʃ.eɪ". Tip: Use the short "a" sound for clarity.
Omitting the final "t": A common mistake is dropping the final "t" sound, leading to "sa-ˈʃeɪ" instead of "ˈsæʃ.eɪt" (US) or "ˈʃæʃ.eɪt" (UK). Tip: Always pronounce the "t" at the end for proper articulation.
Confusing with similar words: Some confuse "sachet" with "sash" or "sachem", leading to mispronunciation. "Sachet" should be pronounced "ˈsæʃ.eɪ" (US) or "ˈʃæʃ.eɪ" (UK). Tip: Focus on the distinct "eɪ" sound at the end.
Mispronouncing "ch": Learners often pronounce "ch" as "k", saying "sa-ket" instead of "sachet". This results in "sæˈkeɪ" (incorrect). Tip: Remember that "ch" in "sachet" is pronounced like "sh".
