Common mistakes of cinema pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners put stress on the second syllable, saying "ci-NE-ma" /sɪˈnɛmə/. Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, "CIN" /ˈsɪn/.
- Vowel confusion: The first vowel can be mispronounced as "i" like in "sit" instead of the correct "i" in "cinema" /sɪnəˌmə/. Tip: Practice saying "sin" /sɪn/ to get the right vowel sound.
- Omitting syllables: Some might say "cinma" /sɪnə/, dropping the last syllable. Tip: Ensure to pronounce all three syllables clearly: "CIN-e-ma" /ˈsɪnəmə/.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: The last syllable is often pronounced with an "a" like in "cat," which is incorrect. Tip: Use the schwa sound /ə/ for the final syllable, making it sound like "ma" in "sofa."
- Blending sounds: Some learners blend the "n" and "e" sounds, making it sound like "cinnema." Tip: Keep the "n" and "e" distinct, pronouncing it as "CIN-e-ma" /ˈsɪnəmə/.
