Common mistakes of conduction pronunciation
- Vowel sound confusion: Some learners mispronounce "conduction" by using the wrong vowel sounds, like saying /kənˈdʌkʃən/ instead of /kənˈdʌkʃən/ (US) or /kənˈdʌkʃən/ (UK). Tip: Focus on the short "u" sound in the second syllable.
- Stress placement error: A common mistake is placing stress incorrectly on the first syllable, saying "CON-duction" instead of the correct "con-DUC-tion". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the second syllable.
- Missing the "t" sound: Some pronounce "conduction" without clearly articulating the "t", making it sound like "conducion". Tip: Make sure to emphasize the "t" sound clearly, as in /kənˈdʌkʃən/.
- Overemphasizing syllables: Learners sometimes stress all syllables equally, making "conduction" sound choppy. Tip: Focus on the natural rhythm of the word, stressing only the second syllable.
- Incorrect vowel length: Some may pronounce the "u" in "conduction" too long, resulting in /kənˈduːkʃən/. Tip: Use a short vowel sound for the "u", as in /kənˈdʌkʃən/.
