Common Mispronunciations of Soluble
Not soh-LOO-buhl
The front beat holds the word, and its vowel is the short o of sorry rather than the oh of sole.
Not SAH-loo-buhl
Between the l and the u comes a quick y, so the middle beat is lyuh and not loo.
Tip: British speech stretches that middle vowel: SAH-lyoo-buhl.
