Common mistakes of sangria pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Some people stress the second syllable, saying "san-ˈgri-a". The correct pronunciation is "ˈsæŋ-ɡri-ə" in US English and "sæŋ-ˈɡrɪə" in UK English. Tip: Focus on the first syllable for proper emphasis.
  2. Incorrect vowel sound: A common mistake is pronouncing the first syllable like "san" instead of "sæŋ". The correct sound is represented as "æŋ". Tip: Practice saying "hang" to get the right vowel sound for "sangria".
  3. Overemphasizing the "g": Some may pronounce the "g" too strongly, saying "san-ˈgri-a". The correct pronunciation is softer, as in "ˈsæŋ-ɡri-ə". Tip: Keep the "g" subtle, almost blending it with the following "r".
  4. Ignoring the final vowel: Many people drop the final "a", saying "sangri". The full pronunciation is "ˈsæŋ-ɡri-ə" or "sæŋ-ˈɡrɪə". Tip: Always finish with a clear "ə" sound to complete the word.
  5. Mispronouncing the "r": Some may say "sang-ˈra" with a rolled "r". The correct pronunciation has a softer "r" sound as in "ˈsæŋ-ɡri-ə". Tip: Lightly touch your tongue to the roof of your mouth for a softer "r".
