Common Mispronunciations of Hare
Not HAHR
The vowel is the air of care, so the word never shares its sound with the first part of harvest.
Not HEER
Open the mouth wider than you would for here, since the two words differ only in that vowel.
Tip: Hare and hair are said identically, so only the spelling and the meaning separate them.
