Common Mispronunciations of Bear In Mind
Not BEER in MYND
The opening word rhymes with air, not with ear, so the phrase begins on the same vowel as care. A drink at the front of it changes the whole sense.
Not ber in MYND
Two words carry a beat, the first and the last, and the in between them shrinks almost to nothing. Letting the first go unstressed makes the phrase sound hurried.
Tip: Native speakers reduce the middle word to a mumbled uhn, so the whole thing runs together as BER-uhn-MYND.
