Ways to get it wrong
Pronouncing 'encore'
The 'en' is a nasal sound, and the 'r' at the end is soft, not a hard English R.
Forgetting 'un'
Saying 'encore verre' is incomplete; you need 'un' to mean 'another glass'.
A small cultural note
In France, it's common to order drinks one at a time rather than a whole round for everyone at once, unless you are specifically offering to pay for everyone.
