Common Mispronunciations of Adventure
Not ad-ven-TOOR
Pulling the beat onto the last part leaves the word sounding translated. Those four letters make one quiet cher and never a full oo.
Not ad-VEN-tyoor
A t followed by u blends into ch in this position, so no separate y survives. That blending is why nature is NAY-cher and not NAY-tyoor.
