Common mistakes of adjuvant pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "adjuvant" as /ˈædʒʊvənt/. The correct pronunciation is /ˈædʒəvənt/ in both US and UK English. Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable "ad".
  2. Incorrect vowel sounds: Some may pronounce the first vowel as "a" like in "cat", saying "adjuvant" as /ˈædʒʌvənt/. The first vowel should sound like "a" in "father". Tip: Focus on the "a" sounding like /æ/ in "ad".
  3. Overemphasizing the "t": Learners sometimes add an extra emphasis on the "t" at the end, pronouncing "adjuvant" as /ˈædʒəvənʧ/. The "t" should be soft and not overly pronounced. Tip: Keep the "t" subtle, just like in "went".
  4. Dropping syllables: Some speakers may unintentionally drop the second syllable, saying "adjuvant" as /ˈædʒvən/. It's important to articulate all syllables clearly. Tip: Practice saying each syllable slowly to maintain clarity.
  5. Confusing with similar words: Learners might confuse "adjuvant" with "adjunct", leading to mispronunciation. "Adjuvant" is pronounced /ˈædʒəvənt/ while "adjunct" is /ˈædʒʌŋkt/. Tip: Pay attention to the vowel sounds and syllable count to differentiate them.
