Common mistakes of conclude pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, saying "con-ˈclude". This is incorrect. The primary stress is on the last syllable: "con-ˈclude". Tip: Focus on placing stress on "clude".
- Overemphasizing the "o": Many pronounce "conclude" with a strong "o" sound, like "cónclude". The correct pronunciation is with a schwa sound, /kənˈkluːd/ in US and /kənˈkluːd/ in UK. Tip: Use a softer "o" sound.
- Dropping the final "e": Some speakers omit the final "e", pronouncing it as "conclud". This is incorrect. The "e" is silent, and "conclude" should end with the "d" sound. Tip: Always pronounce the final "d" clearly.
- Incorrect vowel sound: A common mistake is pronouncing the "u" as in "cup", leading to "con-cʊd". The correct vowel sound is /uː/, as in "food". Tip: Practice saying "clue" to get the vowel right.
- Confusing with similar words: Some confuse "conclude" with "include". "Conclude" ends with a "d" sound, while "include" has a "d" sound as well but starts with a different vowel sound. Tip: Pay attention to the initial sounds to differentiate them.
