Common mistakes of coalesce pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "co-a-ˈles-c" instead of the correct "ˌkoʊəˈlɛs". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the last syllable.
Vowel confusion: Some people pronounce the first vowel as "oʊ" instead of "oʊə". This leads to saying "ˈkoʊ-ə-les" instead of "ˌkoʊəˈlɛs". Tip: Focus on blending the sounds smoothly in "coalesce".
Missing the "c" sound: A common error is omitting the "c" sound, resulting in "ˌkoʊəˈlɛs" instead of "ˌkoʊəˈlɛs". Tip: Pay attention to the "c" to ensure clarity in pronunciation.
Incorrect vowel length: Some learners pronounce the "e" too short, saying "ˌkoʊəˈles" instead of "ˌkoʊəˈlɛs". Tip: Make sure to elongate the "e" sound to match the correct pronunciation.
Overemphasizing syllables: People may stress the wrong syllables, leading to "ˈco-a-les-c" instead of "ˌkoʊəˈlɛs". Tip: Practice saying the word slowly to identify the correct stress pattern.
