Common mistakes of cicero pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable as in "ci-ˈcer-o". The correct stress is on the first syllable: "ˈcic-er-o". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is marked with "ˈ" before the stressed syllable.
- Vowel confusion: The first vowel sound may be mispronounced as "i" in "bit" instead of "i" in "machine". The correct pronunciation is "ˈsɪs.ə.roʊ" in US English and "ˈsɪs.ə.rəʊ" in UK English. Tip: Focus on the "i" sound being long, as in "see".
- Incorrect ending sound: Some may pronounce the last syllable as "o" like "go", instead of the correct "o" as in "so". The accurate pronunciation is "roʊ" in US and "rəʊ" in UK. Tip: Practice the ending by saying "row" to get the right sound.
- Overemphasizing the "c": Learners might pronounce the "c" as a hard "k" sound, resulting in "kicero". The correct pronunciation starts with a soft "s" sound: "ˈsɪs". Tip: Remember that "ci" in "cicero" sounds like "si".
- Ignoring syllable separation: Some may blend the syllables, saying "cicero" in one smooth flow. The correct pronunciation separates the syllables: "ˈcic-er-o". Tip: Break it down into three parts to ensure clarity and correct pronunciation.
