How to Pronounce Meringue in American Accent #learnenglish #learning
Okay, let's look at the American English pronunciation of the word "meringue."
The typical American pronunciation is "muh-RANG."
Here's a breakdown:
1. "muh" - This first syllable has a schwa sound, similar to the "a" in "about."
2. "RANG" - The second syllable is stressed and has a long "a" sound, like in the word "father."
The primary stress is on the second syllable, "RANG."
Some additional notes on the American English pronunciation:
- The first syllable "muh" is reduced to a schwa sound.
- The second syllable "RANG" is emphasized with a long "a" vowel.
- There are only two syllables in the American pronunciation.
- The stress falls on the second "RANG" syllable.
To practice, try saying "muh-RANG" out loud a few times, placing the emphasis on that second stressed syllable.
Getting the rhythm and stress pattern down will help this sound natural in an American accent. The key is emphasizing that long "a" sound in the second syllable.
