Common mistakes of blasphemous pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "blas-ˈfem-ous." The correct stress is on the first syllable: "ˈblasp" in both US and UK pronunciations. Tip: Practice saying "ˈblasp" clearly before adding the rest of the word.
  2. Ignoring the "p": Some people omit the "p" sound, pronouncing it as "blas-ˈfem-ous." The "p" is essential and should be pronounced as "blasp." Tip: Emphasize the "p" to maintain clarity and correctness in your speech.
  3. Vowel confusion: Learners may pronounce the first vowel incorrectly, saying "blas-fə-mous" instead of "blasp-ə-mous." The first vowel is a short "a" sound. Tip: Focus on the "a" in "blasp" to ensure accurate pronunciation.
  4. Incorrect vowel length: Some might say "blasphemous" with a long "u" sound, like "blasphem-oo-us." The "u" should be pronounced as a short "ə." Tip: Listen to native speakers to grasp the correct vowel length and sound.
  5. Overemphasizing syllables: People sometimes overly stress the last syllable, saying "blasphe-ˈmous." The correct pronunciation has a softer ending: "blasp-ə-mous." Tip: Practice saying the word slowly to balance the stress across all syllables.
