Common mistakes of asynchronous pronunciation

  1. Stress misplacement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "a-SYN-chronous" instead of the correct "a-SYN-chronous" (ˌeɪˈsɪŋ.krə.nəs). Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the third syllable.
  2. Incorrect vowel sounds: Some pronounce the "y" as a long "e" sound, saying "a-syn-CHRO-nous" instead of "a-SYN-chronous". Tip: Focus on the short "i" sound in the second syllable, pronounced as "ɪ".
  3. Missing syllable: A common mistake is omitting the "chro" syllable, leading to "a-syn-ous". This drops the important middle sound. Tip: Practice saying all four syllables clearly: "a-SYN-CHRO-nous" (ˌeɪˈsɪŋ.krə.nəs).
  4. Overemphasizing "a": Some learners stress the initial "a", making it sound like "A-synchronous". The correct pronunciation starts with a schwa sound. Tip: Say "a-SYN-chronous" with a quick, soft "a" sound: /ə/.
  5. Final "ous" confusion: The ending "ous" is often mispronounced as "ous" like in "house". The correct pronunciation is more like "əs". Tip: Practice the ending by saying "a-SYN-CHRO-nəs" to get the sound right.
