Common Mispronunciations of Brie Cheese
Not BRY cheez
The ie pair is a long ee, as French spelling intends, so the first word rhymes with free. An eye vowel there would need the spelling to be bry.
Not bree CHEEZ
Both words rhyme on the same vowel and the first takes the stronger beat. Letting the second dominate makes the phrase sound like a correction.
Tip: Brie is the region and the cheese, so brie cheese says it twice, the way chai tea does.
