Common mistakes of coiffure pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "coiffure" as /kwoʊˈfjʊr/ (US) or /kwoɪˈfjʊə/ (UK). Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable: /ˈkwɑːf.jʊr/ (US) or /ˈkwɒf.jʊə/ (UK).
- Omitting the "f" sound: Some people say "coiffure" without clearly pronouncing the "f," resulting in /ˈkwɑːjʊr/ (US) or /ˈkwɒjʊə/ (UK). Tip: Make sure to articulate the "f" sound distinctly to maintain clarity.
- Mispronouncing the "u" sound: A common error is pronouncing the "u" as /ʌ/, leading to "coiffure" sounding like /ˈkwɑːfʌr/ (US) or /ˈkwɒfʌ/ (UK). Tip: Use the correct "u" sound as /jʊr/ (US) or /jʊə/ (UK).
- Confusing "coiffure" with similar words: Some learners mix "coiffure" with "coif," saying it as /ˈkɔɪf/ (US) or /ˈkɔɪf/ (UK). Tip: Remember that "coiffure" has two syllables, while "coif" is only one.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Many pronounce the first vowel incorrectly, saying "coiffure" as /kɔɪˈfjʊr/ (US) or /kɔɪˈfjʊə/ (UK). Tip: Focus on the correct vowel sound /kwɑː/ (US) or /kwɒ/ (UK) for accuracy.
