Common mistakes of condensation pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "con-den-ˈsa-tion". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "con-den-ˌˈsa-tion". Tip: Practice saying "con-den-ˈsa-tion" slowly to identify the stressed syllable.
- Vowel sound confusion: Some may pronounce the "o" in "condensation" as in "hot", leading to "ˌhɒn-den-ˈseɪ-tion". The correct vowel sound is like in "cone": "ˌkɒn-den-ˈseɪ-tion". Tip: Focus on the "o" sound by practicing with words like "cone" and "bone".
- Final syllable mispronunciation: Learners sometimes say "condensa-ˈtion", dropping the "t" sound. The correct pronunciation includes a clear "t": "con-den-ˈseɪ-tion". Tip: Emphasize the "t" sound by saying it separately before combining it back into the word.
- Syllable reduction: Some might reduce the first syllable to "con-", making it sound like "ˈkɒn-den-ˌseɪ-tion". The first syllable should be pronounced clearly as "con". Tip: Practice saying the full word slowly, ensuring each syllable is pronounced distinctly.
- Overemphasis on the last syllable: Some learners may stress the last syllable too much, saying "con-den-ˈsa-ˈtion". The correct stress pattern is "con-den-ˌˈsa-tion". Tip: Use a metronome or clapping to maintain the rhythm and stress pattern while practicing.
