Common Mispronunciations of Porsche
Not PORSH
German gives the final e its own quiet syllable, so the name has two beats. The one-syllable version is common in English but is not what the company says.
Not por-SHAY
Overcorrecting sends the ending too far. The second syllable is an unstressed shuh, not a bright ay.
Tip: Two beats, weight on the first: PAWR-shuh.
