Common mistakes of aram pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, saying "A-ram" instead of "Ar-am". Tip: Remember that in "Aram", the stress is on the first syllable, as indicated by the IPA /ˈær.əm/ in US English.
  2. Incorrect vowel sounds: A common mistake is pronouncing "Aram" with an "a" sound like in "cat". This leads to "cɑr-əm". Tip: Use the IPA /ˈær.əm/ to practice the correct short "a" sound in "Aram".
  3. Overemphasizing the final consonant: Some people pronounce "Aram" with a heavy "m" sound, sounding like "Arammm". Tip: Keep the "m" soft and concise, as shown in the IPA /ˈær.əm/, to avoid elongation.
  4. Ignoring the unstressed syllable: Learners may pronounce both syllables equally, resulting in "A-ram". Tip: Focus on the first syllable being stressed and the second being a quick, unstressed sound, as indicated by the IPA /ˈær.əm/.
  5. Mispronouncing the initial sound: Some may start with a sound like "uh" instead of "a", leading to "Uh-ram". Tip: Start with the clear "a" sound as in "cat", using the IPA /ˈær.əm/ to refine your pronunciation.
