Common mistakes of artery pronunciation
- Stressing the wrong syllable: Many learners stress the second syllable, saying "ar-'TER-y" instead of the correct "'AR-ter-y" (ˈɑːrtəri in US, ˈɑːtə-ri in UK). Tip: Emphasize the first syllable for accurate pronunciation.
- Mispronouncing the "t": Some pronounce "artery" with a hard "t" sound, like "ar-'TAY-ry". The correct pronunciation uses a softer "t" (ˈɑːrtəri in US, ˈɑːtə-ri in UK). Tip: Keep the "t" light and quick.
- Omitting the second syllable: A common mistake is to say "AR-ree" or "ART-ree", dropping the middle syllable. The full pronunciation is "'AR-ter-y" (ˈɑːrtəri in US, ˈɑːtə-ri in UK). Tip: Practice saying all three syllables clearly.
- Confusing vowel sounds: Some learners may say "ar-tuh-ree" with an unclear "tuh" sound. The correct pronunciation has a clear vowel sound in the second syllable (ˈɑːrtəri in US, ˈɑːtə-ri in UK). Tip: Focus on the "ter" to ensure clarity.
- Incorrectly blending sounds: Avoid blending the last syllable into the previous one, which can lead to "ART-ree" or "AR-ter-ee". The correct pronunciation is distinct: "'AR-ter-y" (ˈɑːrtəri in US, ˈɑːtə-ri in UK). Tip: Pause slightly between syllables for better clarity.
