Common mistakes of bibliography pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners place the stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "bi-ˌbli-ˈography". Tip: Remember to emphasize the third syllable, "ˌbi-ˈbli-ˌography" in US and "ˌbi-ˈbli-ˌɒɡrəfi" in UK.
- Overlooking the "g": It's common to skip the "g" sound, pronouncing it as "bi-ˈbli-ography". Tip: Make sure to pronounce the "g" clearly, as in "bi-ˈbli-ˌɡrafi" for both US and UK.
- Shortening the vowels: Some tend to shorten the vowels, saying "bibl-i-ography". Tip: Ensure you pronounce the full vowel sounds, especially in the second syllable, "ˈbi-bli-ˌɒɡrəfi".
- Ignoring the "y" sound: Learners might drop the "y" sound at the end, resulting in "bibliograph". Tip: Include the "y" sound to complete the word correctly as "bi-ˈbli-ˌɒɡrəfi".
- Incorrectly pronouncing the "o": Some may pronounce "o" as "a", saying "bibla-graphy". Tip: Use the correct vowel sound for "o", ensuring it sounds like "o" in "lot" in US and "o" in "hot" in UK.
