Common mistakes of assess pronunciation
- Stress placement: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "a-ˈsess" instead of the correct "ˈas-sess". Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable for proper pronunciation.
- Vowel sounds: Mispronouncing the vowel in the first syllable as "e" instead of "a" leads to "e-ˈsess". The correct pronunciation is "ˈas-sess". Tip: Focus on the "a" sound, similar to "cat".
- Ending sound: Some may drop the final "s" sound, saying "as-sess" instead of "as-sess". This can change the clarity of the word. Tip: Ensure you pronounce both "s" sounds clearly.
- Length of syllables: Overemphasizing the second syllable can lead to a drawn-out sound like "as-ˈsess". The correct form is "ˈas-sess". Tip: Keep the syllables balanced, with a clear emphasis on the first.
- Consonant clarity: Some speakers might soften the initial "a" sound, pronouncing it like "uh" in "uh-sess". The proper pronunciation is "ˈas-sess". Tip: Start with a strong "a" sound to maintain clarity.
