Common Mispronunciations of Broth
Not BROHTH
Broth and brought share one vowel and part only at the last sound. An oh here belongs to both, a word with a different vowel altogether.
Not BROT
A t for the final th flattens the word into something like Brought without its gh. Rest the tongue tip on the top teeth and let the air through.
Tip: The plural broths keeps the th and adds a hiss, so nothing turns into a z.
