Common Mispronunciations of Enhance
Not EN-hans
Verbs beginning with en- carry their weight afterwards, so HANS is the loud part and the prefix stays quiet.
Not e-NANS
The h is fully pronounced, unlike the silent one in hour or honest. Dropping it leaves a different word.
Tip: Say en, then the name Hans: en-HANS.
