Common mistakes of choreography pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners place stress incorrectly, saying "choreography" as /ˌtʃɔːrˈɛɡrəfi/ instead of /ˌkɔːriˈɒɡrəfi/. Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the "og" syllable in the UK pronunciation.
- Vowel sound confusion: Some people mispronounce "choreography" by using a short "o" sound, saying /ˈtʃɔːrəɡrəfi/ instead of /ˈkɔːrəɡrəfi/. Tip: Practice the long "o" sound as in "more" to improve clarity.
- Silent letters: Learners often pronounce the "h" in "choreography," resulting in "chor" being pronounced as /hɔːr/. Tip: Remember that in "choreography," the "h" is silent, so it should start with "ch" as in "chocolate."
- Syllable division: Some speakers incorrectly break "choreography" into too many syllables, saying /ˌtʃɔːr.iˈɒɡ.rə.fi/. Tip: Focus on three main syllables: "cho-re-og-ra-phy" to maintain the correct flow.
- Final "y" sound: A common mistake is to pronounce the final "y" in "choreography" as /i/, leading to "choreographi." Tip: The "y" should be pronounced as a schwa sound /ə/ in this context, sounding like "choreography."
