Common mistakes of vengeance pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many speakers incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ven-'geance" instead of the correct "'ven-geance." Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, indicated by the IPA /ˈvɛn.dʒəns/ in both US and UK pronunciations.
- Vowel sound confusion: Some may pronounce the first vowel as "ee" instead of "eh," resulting in "veen-geance." Tip: Focus on the "eh" sound /ɛ/ in "vengeance" to ensure clarity, as in "pen" or "ten."
- Silent "e" mispronunciation: A common mistake is to add an extra "e" sound at the end, saying "vengeance-e." Tip: The final "e" is silent; keep the pronunciation to /ˈvɛn.dʒəns/ without adding an extra sound.
- Overemphasizing the "g": Some speakers may overly stress the "g" sound, pronouncing it as "ven-geance" with a hard "g." Tip: The "g" in "vengeance" should be soft, pronounced as /dʒ/, similar to "judge."
- Mispronouncing "ven" as "vin": A frequent error is to say "vin-geance" instead of "ven-geance." Tip: Make sure to pronounce the first syllable clearly with the "e" sound /ɛ/, ensuring it sounds like "ven."
