Common mistakes of capri pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some may incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ca-PRI" instead of the correct "CAP-ri" (ˈkæp.ri). Tip: Remember that the first syllable carries the primary stress.
- Vowel confusion: The vowel sound in the first syllable can be mispronounced as "a" (as in "cat") instead of the correct "æ" (as in "cap"). Tip: Practice the "æ" sound by saying "cat" and focusing on the mouth shape.
- Incorrect vowel length: Some learners might pronounce "capri" with a long "i" sound, saying "cap-REE" instead of "cap-ri" (ˈkæp.ri). Tip: Ensure the "i" is short and crisp, as in "it."
- Skipping the final vowel: A common mistake is to drop the final "i," resulting in "capr" instead of "capri." Tip: Always pronounce the final "i" clearly to avoid truncating the word.
- Overemphasizing the "r": Some might pronounce the "r" too strongly, saying "cap-REE" with a heavy emphasis. Tip: Keep the "r" soft and subtle to maintain the correct pronunciation.
