Common Mispronunciations of Range
Not RANJ
Any word spelled ange takes a long ay, as change and danger do, so the vowel of ran is never right here.
Not RAYNG
A soft j closes the word, made with the tongue flat against the ridge behind the teeth.
Tip: Ranger and arrange hold on to the same ay and the same j.
