Common mistakes of accessible pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners mistakenly stress the second syllable, saying "ac-cess-ˈi-ble" instead of the correct "ˈak-ses-ə-bəl". Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable for proper pronunciation.
- Mispronouncing the "c": Some may pronounce "c" as "k", saying "ak-ˈses-ə-bəl". This is incorrect. Tip: Ensure the "c" sounds like "s" as in "see" in "accessible".
- Skipping the vowel sound: A common mistake is omitting the schwa sound in the second syllable, leading to "ak-ˈses-bəl". Tip: Make sure to include the unstressed "ə" sound for clarity.
- Incorrect vowel sound in the first syllable: Learners might pronounce the first syllable as "ˈak" with a short "a" sound. The correct sound is a more open "a" as in "cat". Tip: Practice saying "ak" with an open mouth to get it right.
- Overemphasizing the last syllable: Some tend to stress the last syllable too much, saying "ac-ces-si-ˈble". This is incorrect. Tip: Keep the last syllable light and unstressed for accurate pronunciation.
