Common Mispronunciations of Fungal
Not FUHN-juhl
The g stays hard here, as in gull, so the middle is ng followed by g rather than a j.
Not fuhn-GAL
The opening beat takes the volume and the ending reduces to guhl.
Tip: Fungal and fungus both keep the hard g. Fungi goes either way, FUHN-jy or FUHNG-gee.
