Common mistakes of blouse pronunciation
- Misplacing the vowel sound: Some learners pronounce "blouse" with a long "o" sound, like "blowse" (/blaʊz/). Tip: Remember that the "ou" in "blouse" creates the /aʊ/ diphthong, similar to "house".
- Ignoring the final "s": A common mistake is to drop the final "s" sound, saying "blou" instead of "blouse" (/blaʊs/). Tip: Always ensure you pronounce the final "s" to complete the word clearly.
- Overemphasizing the "b": Some speakers may stress the "b" too much, leading to an unnatural pronunciation. Tip: Focus on a balanced stress on the first syllable, as in /blaʊs/, to sound more natural.
- Confusing with "blows": Learners sometimes mix up "blouse" with "blows," pronouncing it as /bloʊz/. Tip: Pay attention to the vowel sound in "blouse" (/aʊ/) to differentiate between the two words effectively.
- Incorrect syllable stress: Some may incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "blou-se" instead of "blouse." Tip: Remember that "blouse" is a single-syllable word, so keep the stress on the first and only syllable.
