Common mistakes of analogous pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "a-ˈnal-og-us" instead of the correct "ˈan-al-og-us". Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable to sound natural.
- Vowel sounds: Some mispronounce "analogous" with a short "a" sound, saying "ˈan-ə-log-us". The correct pronunciation features a clear "a" as in "cat" /æ/. Tip: Practice saying "an" with an open "a" sound.
- Syllable division: A common mistake is to break "analogous" into too many syllables, such as "a-nal-o-gus". The correct division is "an-al-og-us". Tip: Count the syllables and ensure you are pronouncing three clear parts.
- "g" pronunciation: Some pronounce the "g" in "analogous" as a hard "g" sound, saying "an-al-ˈgo-us". The correct sound is soft, as in "giraffe" /dʒ/. Tip: Focus on the soft "g" to maintain the word's flow.
- Final "us" sound: Learners often say "analogous" with a pronounced "u" as in "bus", resulting in "an-al-og-ˈus". The correct ending is softer, almost like "us" in "famous". Tip: Practice the ending to blend it smoothly.
