Common mistakes of compliance pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "com-PLI-ance" instead of "COM-pliance". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, /kəmˈplaɪ.əns/ in US and /kəmˈplaɪ.əns/ in UK.
- Vowel sounds: Some may pronounce the "i" in "compliance" as a long "ee" sound, saying "com-plee-ance". Tip: The "i" is a short vowel sound, pronounced as /aɪ/, not /iː/.
- Final "nce" sound: A common mistake is to omit the final "nce", leading to "compli" instead of "compliance". Tip: Ensure to articulate the final syllable clearly, as in /əns/.
- Syllable division: Learners sometimes divide the syllables incorrectly, saying "com-pli-ance". Tip: Remember that "compliance" has three syllables, and the correct division is "com-pli-ance", with the emphasis on the first syllable.
- Linking sounds: Some speakers might not link the sounds smoothly, leading to a choppy pronunciation of "compliance". Tip: Practice connecting the syllables fluidly, focusing on the transition between /kəm/ and /ˈplaɪ/.
