Common mistakes of coagulation pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the wrong syllable, saying "coagulation" as /kəʊˌædʒʊˈleɪʃən/ (UK) or /koʊˌædʒʊˈleɪʃən/ (US). Tip: Remember to emphasize the "lu" syllable with primary stress: /koʊˌæɡ.jəˈleɪ.ʃən/.
  2. Incorrect vowel sounds: The vowel in the first syllable is often mispronounced as "o" instead of the correct "əʊ" (UK) or "oʊ" (US). Tip: Practice saying "coagulation" to ensure you are using the correct diphthong in the first syllable.
  3. Omitting the "g" sound: Some may pronounce "coagulation" without clearly articulating the "g," leading to confusion. Tip: Make sure to pronounce the "g" clearly, as in /kəʊˌædʒʊˈleɪʃən/ (UK) or /koʊˌædʒʊˈleɪʃən/ (US).
  4. Overemphasizing the final syllable: Learners sometimes stress the last syllable too much, saying "coagulation" as /kəʊˌædʒʊˈleɪʃən/ with extra emphasis. Tip: The stress should be on the "lu" syllable, not the last one.
  5. Mispronouncing "co": The initial "co" can be confused with "kuh" instead of the correct "ko." Tip: Focus on the correct pronunciation of "co" as /koʊ/ (US) or /kəʊ/ (UK) to start strong.
