Common mistakes of advice pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying /ədˈvaɪs/ instead of the correct /ədˈvaɪs/. Tip: Remember to stress the second syllable to pronounce "advice" accurately.
Overemphasizing the "a": Many people pronounce the initial "a" too strongly, making it sound like /ˈædvaɪs/. Tip: Keep the "a" soft, as in /əd/, for a clearer pronunciation of "advice."
Confusing with "advise": Some confuse "advice" with "advise," pronouncing it as /ədˈvaɪz/. Tip: Remember that "advice" is a noun and ends with /s/, while "advise" is a verb and ends with /z/.
Skipping the vowel sound: Learners sometimes omit the unstressed vowel sound, pronouncing it as /dvais/. Tip: Make sure to include the schwa sound /əd/ at the beginning to correctly say "advice."
Pronouncing the "c" as "k": Some may incorrectly pronounce the "c" in "advice" as a hard "k" sound, saying /ədˈvaɪk/. Tip: Ensure the "c" is soft, pronounced as /s/, to maintain the correct pronunciation of "advice."
