Common mistakes of article pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "ar-TI-cle" instead of "AR-ti-cle" /ˈɑːrtɪkl/ (US) or /ˈɑːtɪkl/ (UK). Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable.
- Overemphasizing the "t": Some people pronounce "article" with an exaggerated "t" sound, making it sound like "ar-ti-CLE" /ˈɑːrtɪkl/ (US) or "ar-ti-KL" /ˈɑːtɪkl/ (UK). Tip: Keep the "t" soft and quick.
- Dropping the vowel sound: A common mistake is to drop the vowel sound in the second syllable, saying "AR-cl" instead of "AR-ti-cle" /ˈɑːrtɪkl/ (US) or /ˈɑːtɪkl/ (UK). Tip: Ensure you pronounce each syllable clearly.
- Confusing with "article" and "articulate": Some learners confuse the pronunciation of "article" with "articulate," leading to mispronunciation. "Article" is /ˈɑːrtɪkl/ (US) or /ˈɑːtɪkl/ (UK), while "articulate" has a different stress pattern. Tip: Focus on the syllable structure of each word.
- Mispronouncing the ending: Some may pronounce "article" with an incorrect ending, saying "ar-ti-kul" instead of "ar-ti-cle" /ˈɑːrtɪkl/ (US) or /ˈɑːtɪkl/ (UK). Tip: Pay attention to the "cle" ending, keeping it distinct.
