Common mistakes of visage pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sound: Many people pronounce "visage" with a short "i" sound, like "vɪzɪdʒ". This is incorrect. Tip: Use the correct pronunciation /ˈvɪz.ɪdʒ/ in US English and /ˈvɪz.ɑːʒ/ in UK English.
- Misplaced stress: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, saying "vi-SAGE". This is not correct. Tip: Emphasize the first syllable: "VIS-age" /ˈvɪz.ɪdʒ/ in US and /ˈvɪz.ɑːʒ/ in UK.
- Overemphasis on "g": A common mistake is to pronounce the "g" in "visage" too strongly, leading to "vi-zahj". This is incorrect. Tip: The "g" should be soft, blending smoothly into the "age" sound.
- Dropping the final "e": Some speakers might drop the "e" at the end, saying "visag". This is not correct. Tip: Always pronounce the final "e" softly, as in "visage" /ˈvɪz.ɪdʒ/ or /ˈvɪz.ɑːʒ/.
- Confusing with "visage": Some confuse "visage" with "visage", a different word. This can lead to incorrect usage. Tip: Remember that "visage" refers to the face or appearance, while "visage" has a different meaning.
