Common mistakes of voucher pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "vou-ˈcher." The correct stress is on the first syllable: "ˈvaʊ.tʃər" (US) and "ˈvəʊ.tʃə" (UK). Tip: Practice saying "voucher" with emphasis on "vau."
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some pronounce "voucher" with a short "a" sound, saying "ˈvætʃər." The correct pronunciation uses the diphthong "au," as in "ˈvaʊ.tʃər" (US) and "ˈvəʊ.tʃə" (UK). Tip: Focus on the "ou" sound, similar to "how."
- Overemphasizing "ch": Learners might say "vou-cher" with a pronounced "ch" as in "cheese." The correct sound is softer, represented as "tʃ." Tip: Listen to native speakers to catch the subtlety in the "ch" sound.
- Skipping the "r": Some drop the "r" at the end, saying "ˈvaʊ.tʃə." In both US and UK pronunciation, the "r" is important, making it "ˈvaʊ.tʃər" (US) and "ˈvəʊ.tʃə" (UK). Tip: Ensure you articulate the "r" clearly at the end.
- Confusing with "voucher" and "vouch": Some mix up "voucher" with "vouch," pronouncing both the same. "Vouch" is "vaʊtʃ," while "voucher" includes the additional syllable. Tip: Practice the two words separately to distinguish their sounds.
