Common mistakes of condemn pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "con-ˈdem" instead of the correct "ˈcon-demn". Tip: Always emphasize the first syllable to pronounce "condemn" correctly.
- Omitting the "n" sound: Some speakers may drop the "n" sound, pronouncing it as "ˈkɒd-ɛm" instead of "ˈkɒn-dɛm" (UK). Tip: Focus on clearly articulating the "n" in the first syllable for clarity.
- Confusing vowel sounds: The vowel sound in the second syllable can be confused, leading to mispronunciation as "kən-ˈdɛm" instead of "kɒn-ˈdɛm" (UK). Tip: Practice the correct vowel sound by listening to native speakers.
- Incorrectly pronouncing "d": Some may pronounce "d" as a softer "t", saying "kɒn-ˈtɛm" instead of "kɒn-ˈdɛm" (UK). Tip: Ensure you enunciate the "d" clearly to avoid confusion.
- Overemphasizing syllables: Learners sometimes overemphasize the second syllable, resulting in "con-DEM" instead of "CON-dem". Tip: Maintain a balanced emphasis to ensure the rhythm of "condemn" sounds natural.
