Common mistakes of atelier pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "at-e-ˈli-er". The correct stress is on the last syllable: "ˈat-e-ˌli-er" in US and "ˈat.ə.lie" in UK. Tip: Remember to emphasize the final syllable.
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some people pronounce "atelier" with a short "a" as in "cat", saying "ˈat-e-ˌli-er". The correct pronunciation has a long "a" sound: "ˈɑː-teɪ-li-eɪ" in UK. Tip: Focus on the long "a" sound when starting the word.
- Adding extra syllables: Learners might say "at-e-li-er" with an extra syllable, leading to "ˌat-e-ˈli-er". The correct pronunciation has only three syllables: "ˈat-e-ˌli-er" in US and "ˈat.ə.lie" in UK. Tip: Count the syllables to ensure you're pronouncing it correctly.
- Pronouncing "t" too strongly: Some may overemphasize the "t" in "atelier", saying "ˈat-e-li-er". The "t" should be softer, almost blending into the following "e". Tip: Keep the "t" light and fluid to sound more natural.
- Ignoring the "r": A common mistake is to drop the final "r", leading to "ˈat-e-li". In both US and UK pronunciations, the "r" should be pronounced clearly. Tip: Articulate the "r" to maintain the integrity of the word.
