Common mistakes of traipse pronunciation

Misplacing the vowel sound: Some learners pronounce "traipse" with an incorrect vowel sound, saying /trɛɪps/ instead of the correct /treɪps/. Tip: Focus on the diphthong /eɪ/ to ensure clarity in pronunciation.
Ignoring the final "e": A common mistake is to drop the final "e," resulting in "traips" pronounced as /treɪps/. This alters the word's meaning. Tip: Remember that the final "e" is silent but essential for the correct spelling and meaning.

Mispronouncing the initial consonant cluster: Some may pronounce "traipse" as /tʃreɪps/, incorrectly adding a "ch" sound. The correct pronunciation is /treɪps/. Tip: Pay attention to the initial "tr" sound, ensuring it is clear and distinct.
