Common mistakes of beauty pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many learners place stress on the second syllable, saying "beau-'ty" instead of ""beauty". In both US and UK English, the primary stress is on the first syllable: /ˈbjuːti/.
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some pronounce "beauty" with a short "u" sound, saying /ˈbʌti/. This is incorrect. The correct pronunciation features a long "u" sound as in /ˈbjuːti/.
- Adding an extra syllable: A common mistake is pronouncing "beauty" as having three syllables, like "beau-ti-'ty". This is incorrect; "beauty" is a two-syllable word: /ˈbjuːti/.
- Confusing with similar words: Learners sometimes confuse "beauty" with "beet" or "boot", leading to mispronunciation. Remember that "beauty" has a distinct "y" sound at the end, represented as /ˈbjuːti/.
- Overemphasizing the "t": Some speakers may overemphasize the "t" in "beauty", making it sound harsh. The "t" should be clear but not overly stressed, as in /ˈbjuːti/.
