Common mistakes of apparel pronunciation
- Stress on the wrong syllable: Many learners stress the first syllable, saying "AP-parel" instead of the correct "a-PAR-el" (ˌæpˈɛr.əl). Tip: Focus on the second syllable for correct pronunciation.
- Mispronouncing the vowel sounds: Some people may pronounce "apparel" with a short "a" sound, saying "a-PAR-el" (ˌæpˈɛr.əl) instead of the correct longer "a" sound. Tip: Practice elongating the "a" to sound like "æ" as in "cat."
- Omitting the final syllable: A common mistake is dropping the last syllable, pronouncing it as "AP-par" instead of "apparel" (ˌæpˈɛr.əl). Tip: Make sure to articulate the final "el" clearly to complete the word.
- Confusing "apparel" with "apparel" (ˈæp.ə.rəl): Some may mix it up with similar-sounding words, leading to confusion. Tip: Remember that "apparel" refers specifically to clothing, while the other pronunciation has a different meaning.
- Incorrectly pronouncing the "r": Some learners may pronounce the "r" too softly, saying "a-PAH-el" instead of "a-PAR-el" (ˌæpˈɛr.əl). Tip: Emphasize the "r" to ensure clarity in your speech.
