Common mistakes of chosen pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "cho-SEN" instead of "CHO-sen". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, as indicated by IPA /ˈtʃoʊ.zən/ (US) and /ˈtʃəʊ.zən/ (UK).
- Incorrect vowel sound: A common error is pronouncing the "o" as a long "o" sound, like "chozen". This leads to confusion with other words. Tip: Focus on the short "o" sound in "chosen", pronounced as /oʊ/ (US) and /əʊ/ (UK).
- Overemphasizing the "s": Some may pronounce "chosen" with an exaggerated "s" sound, making it sound like "cho-sen". Tip: Keep the "s" soft and blend it smoothly with the "en" to maintain the correct pronunciation.
- Dropping the "n": Learners sometimes drop the "n" at the end, saying "choze". This can alter the meaning entirely. Tip: Ensure you pronounce the final "n" clearly to articulate "chosen" correctly.
- Confusing with "chose": Some may mix up "chosen" with "chose", pronouncing it like "choze". Tip: Remember that "chosen" is the past participle of "choose" and should sound like /ˈtʃoʊ.zən/ (US) or /ˈtʃəʊ.zən/ (UK).
