Common mistakes of androgynous pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "an-DROG-y-nous" instead of the correct "an-DROJ-ə-nəs". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the third syllable, "DROJ".
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some may pronounce the "o" in "androgynous" as /ɒ/ instead of /ɑː/ in the UK or /ɑ/ in the US. Tip: Focus on the "o" sounding like "ah" rather than "aw".
- Omitting syllables: A common mistake is to pronounce "androgynous" as "an-drog-nus", dropping the middle syllable. Tip: Ensure you articulate all syllables clearly: "an-DROJ-ə-nəs".
- Mispronouncing "g": Some might pronounce the "g" as a hard /g/ sound, saying "g" as in "go". Tip: The "g" in "androgynous" is soft, pronounced like /dʒ/, similar to "j" in "judge".
- Skipping the schwa: Learners often overlook the schwa sound in the second syllable, saying "an-DROG-nus" instead of "an-DROJ-ə-nəs". Tip: Include the schwa /ə/ to maintain the natural flow of the word.
