Common Mispronunciations of Tree
Not TUH-ree
One beat only, and the t and the r are released together as a single opening.
Not TRI
Hold the vowel long, the ee of see, since a short one leaves something closer to trick without its k.
Tip: Said at speed, the tr comes out close to a ch sound, which is ordinary English rather than a fault.
