Common mistakes of atherosclerosis pronunciation
- Stress misplacement: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "a-CET-yl-choline," but the correct stress is on the "TYL" syllable: UK /ˌæs.ɪˈtɪl.kəʊ.liːn/, US /ˌæs.ɪˈtɪl.koʊ.lin/. Tip: Emphasize "-TYL-" when pronouncing.
- Vowel confusion in "choline": Some pronounce the "o" as a short vowel, saying "chol-in." The correct form is a long "o": /kəʊ.liːn/ (UK), /koʊ.lin/ (US). Tip: Think of the "o" in "go."
- Syllable omission: A common mistake is dropping the "tyl," producing "acetocholine." Tip: Break it into five parts — ac-e-tyl-cho-line — to keep every syllable.
- Incorrect first vowel: Some say "ah-cetyl" with /ɑː/ instead of the short /æ/ as in "cat." Tip: Start with /ˌæs-/ to stay accurate.
- Final sound confusion: Learners sometimes reduce "choline" to "cholin." Tip: Always pronounce the full "-line" ending, /liːn/ or /lin/, to maintain clarity.
