Common Mispronunciations of Ganymede
Not GA-nee-meed
The middle syllable is a weak nuh, not a full nee. Only the first and last syllables carry any colour.
Not juh-NI-mid
A g before a stays hard in English, so this opens with the g of garden. The ending keeps a long ee as well.
Tip: Three syllables: GA-nuh-meed. The first rhymes with can.
