Common mistakes of cappuccino pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners stress the wrong syllable, saying "ca-pu-CHIN-o" instead of "cap-pu-CHI-no" (ˌkæp.ʊˈtʃiː.noʊ in US, ˌkæp.ʊˈtʃiː.nəʊ in UK). Tip: Focus on the third syllable for correct stress.
- Dropping syllables: Some people say "cap-CHIN-o" instead of "cap-pu-CHI-no". This omits the second syllable and alters the pronunciation. Tip: Practice saying each syllable clearly to maintain the full word.
- Mispronouncing vowels: The "u" in "cappuccino" is often mispronounced as "a" or "e", leading to "cap-CHIN-o" or "cap-CHEN-o". The correct vowel sound is /ʊ/. Tip: Listen to native speakers to grasp the correct vowel sounds.
- Incorrect ending: Some learners pronounce "cappuccino" with a long "o" sound, saying "cappuccinO" instead of the correct "cappuccinO" (ˌkæp.ʊˈtʃiː.nəʊ in UK, ˌkæp.ʊˈtʃiː.noʊ in US). Tip: Pay attention to the short vowel sound at the end.
- Confusing similar words: "Cappuccino" is sometimes confused with "latte" or "espresso", leading to mispronunciations. Each has distinct sounds and structures. Tip: Familiarize yourself with the differences in pronunciation and meaning.
