Common mistakes of chores pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "chores" as /tʃɔːrz/ instead of the correct /tʃɔrz/. Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
- Ignoring the "ch" sound: A common mistake is pronouncing "chores" with a "sh" sound, saying "shores" as /ʃɔrz/. Tip: Practice the "ch" sound by saying "cheese" to get comfortable with it.
- Overemphasizing the vowel: Some people pronounce "chores" with an exaggerated vowel sound, saying /tʃoːrz/. This is incorrect. Tip: Keep the vowel short and crisp, as in /tʃɔrz/.
- Dropping the final "s": Learners sometimes omit the final "s" and say "chore" as /tʃɔːr/. This changes the meaning. Tip: Ensure to pronounce the "s" clearly to indicate the plural form.
- Confusing with similar words: Some may confuse "chores" with "scores," pronouncing it as /skɔrz/. Tip: Focus on the initial sound "ch" in "chores" to differentiate it from similar-sounding words.
