Do you know how to pronounce orange correctly? Pronouncing English words correctly can be tricky, but with a few simple steps, you can make sure you get it right.
First, the stress should be placed on the first syllable of the word. Say the two syllables clearly and evenly: "or-ange." The "or" should be long and drawn out, and the "ange" should be pronounced with a short, clipped sound.
Next, make sure you use the correct vowel sound. The "o" should be pronounced as in the word "more," and the "a" should be pronounced like the "a" in "cat."
Finally, the "ge" should be pronounced with a "j" sound. Keep your tongue near the roof of your mouth and pronounce the "ge" as if it were spelled "juh" or "ghee."
Practice saying the word several times in a row and pay attention to your pronunciation. With a little practice, you'll be able to pronounce orange perfectly.
