Common mistakes of applied pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly, saying "a-ˈplaid" instead of "ə-ˈplaɪd". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the second syllable, "plaid".
- Vowel confusion: People often mispronounce the vowel sound, saying "ap-ˈleed" instead of "ə-ˈplaɪd". Tip: Focus on the "aɪ" sound in the second syllable, which should sound like "eye".
- Omitting the final "d": A common mistake is dropping the ending, saying "a-ˈplai" instead of "ə-ˈplaɪd". Tip: Ensure you pronounce the final "d" clearly to complete the word.
- Incorrect vowel length: Some may pronounce it as "ə-ˈpleɪd", confusing it with similar words. Tip: Pay attention to the diphthong "aɪ" in "applied" to avoid this error.
- Overemphasizing the first syllable: Learners might stress the first syllable, saying "ˈap-lied" instead of "ə-ˈplaɪd". Tip: Keep the first syllable light and focus on the second syllable for proper stress.
