Common Mispronunciations of Springer

Not SPRIN-ger

No hard g is released after the ng. The nasal of sing runs straight into the er, as it does in singer and ringer.

Not spring-ER

Everything lands on the opening, and the er behind it is as weak as the one in finger.

Tip: Finger and anger do release a g; singer, ringer and springer do not, because they are built on verbs.
