Common mistakes of toque pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, pronouncing it as "to-ˈk" instead of the correct "ˈtoʊk" (US) or "ˈtəʊk" (UK). Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Many people mispronounce "toque" by using a short "o" sound, saying "tɒk." The correct pronunciation uses a long "o" sound, as in "toʊk" (US) or "təʊk" (UK). Tip: Practice saying "toe" before adding the "k."
- Adding extra syllables: Some might pronounce "toque" as "to-que," adding an unnecessary vowel sound. The correct pronunciation is a single syllable: "toʊk" (US) or "təʊk" (UK). Tip: Focus on blending the sounds smoothly.
- Confusing with similar words: Learners sometimes confuse "toque" with "toke" or "took." These have different meanings and pronunciations. "Toque" is pronounced "toʊk" (US) or "təʊk" (UK). Tip: Use context to differentiate these words.
- Overemphasizing the "k": Some speakers overly stress the "k" sound, making it sound harsh. The correct pronunciation is smoother, as in "toʊk" (US) or "təʊk" (UK). Tip: Relax your mouth when saying the word to achieve a softer sound.
