Common mistakes of caucasian pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "cau-ˈcasion". This is incorrect. The correct stress is on the first syllable: "ˈcaucasian". Tip: Remember to emphasize the "cau" when pronouncing "caucasian".
- Incorrect vowel sound: Many pronounce the first vowel as "aw" instead of "ɔː". Saying "caw-casian" is common. The correct pronunciation is "ˈkɔː.keɪ.ʒən" in UK English. Tip: Focus on the "aw" sound, which should be more open.
- Overemphasizing the "c": Some people pronounce the initial "c" too harshly, making it sound like "k". The correct sound is softer: "ˈkɔː.keɪ.ʒən". Tip: Keep the "c" smooth and connected to the following vowel.
- Skipping the "a": Learners might skip the "a" in the second syllable, pronouncing it as "cauc-zhən". This is incorrect. The full pronunciation is "ˈkɔː.keɪ.ʒən". Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "a" clearly to maintain the word's integrity.
- Mispronouncing the ending: Some pronounce the ending as "an" instead of "ən". Saying "caucasian" with a strong "an" is a mistake. The correct ending is "ən". Tip: Practice softening the ending to sound more natural in "caucasian".
