Common mistakes of artichoke pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners stress the second syllable, saying "ar-ti-CHOKE" instead of the correct "AR-ti-choke" (ˈɑr.tɪˌtʃoʊk in US, ˈɑː.tɪ.ʧəʊk in UK). Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable.
- Omitting the "t" sound: Some people pronounce "artichoke" as "AR-i-choke," dropping the "t" sound. This can lead to misunderstandings. Tip: Practice saying the "t" clearly to maintain the word's integrity.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: The first vowel is often mispronounced as "a" in "cat." The correct pronunciation is "ar" as in "car" (ˈɑr in US, ˈɑː in UK). Tip: Listen to native speakers to grasp the correct vowel sound.
- Confusing the "ch" sound: Some learners say "art-i-CHOK" with a hard "k" sound at the end instead of the softer "ch" (ˈtʃ) sound. Tip: Focus on the "ch" as in "chair" for accurate pronunciation.
- Adding extra syllables: Occasionally, learners pronounce "artichoke" as "ar-ti-CHO-kee," adding an unnecessary syllable. The correct form is three syllables: "AR-ti-choke." Tip: Break the word down into its three distinct syllables to avoid this mistake.
