Common Mispronunciations of Strength
Not STRENT
Three consonants close this word and all three matter: ng, then k, then th. Cutting the ending short is what leaves you with strent.
Not stuh-RENGTH
The str at the front runs together without a vowel. Adding one splits a single syllable into two.
Tip: Most American speakers slip a small k in before the th, giving STRENGKTH. British speakers usually leave it out.
