Common mistakes of condemned pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, pronouncing it as "con-'DEMNED". The correct stress is on the second syllable: /kənˈdɛmd/. Tip: Remember to emphasize the "demned" part.
- Omitting the vowel sound: Some speakers skip the schwa sound in the first syllable, saying "CND" instead of "con". The correct pronunciation includes the vowel: /kənˈdɛmd/. Tip: Practice saying the full first syllable clearly.
- Confusing the vowel sound: A common mistake is pronouncing the "e" in "condemned" as a long "ee" sound, resulting in "condeemned". The correct sound is a short "e": /kənˈdɛmd/. Tip: Focus on a quick, short "e" sound.
- Incorrectly pronouncing the final "d": Some may drop the final "d", saying "condemn" instead of "condemned". The final "d" is crucial: /kənˈdɛmd/. Tip: Make sure to articulate the "d" clearly at the end.
- Overemphasizing the "n": Some learners put too much emphasis on the "n", making it sound like "con-DEN-nd". The correct pronunciation is more fluid: /kənˈdɛmd/. Tip: Keep the "n" sound soft and connected to the "d".
