Common Mispronunciations of Review
Not RE-vyoo
The beat lands on the second half in both the noun and the verb. A front-loaded version sounds like revue, the stage show, which is a different word.
Not ree-VOO
The view part keeps its y glide, so it is vyoo. Losing the glide leaves you saying revue or something close to remove.
Tip: It contains the word view. Say ree and then view.
