Common mistakes of wriggle pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "wriggle" as /ˈrɪgəl/. This is incorrect in both US and UK pronunciations. Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable, /ˈrɪɡəl/.
- Overemphasizing the "g": It's common to pronounce "wriggle" with a hard "g" sound, like /ˈwrigəl/. This can sound unnatural. Tip: Use a soft "g" sound, /g/, as in "go," to maintain the correct pronunciation.
- Dropping the "w": Some may say "riggle" as /ˈrɪgəl/, omitting the initial "w." This changes the word entirely. Tip: Ensure to pronounce the "w" sound clearly at the beginning, /w/, to keep the meaning intact.
- Incorrect vowel sound: Learners might use the wrong vowel sound, pronouncing "wriggle" as /ˈwɪgəl/. This is not standard. Tip: Use the short "i" sound /ɪ/ as in "sit" for the first syllable to sound correct.
- Adding an extra syllable: Some people mistakenly say "wriggle" as /ˈwrɪɡəl/, adding an unnecessary vowel sound. Tip: Stick to two syllables, ensuring the pronunciation is /ˈrɪɡəl/ without any extra sounds.
