Common mistakes of conjecture pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "con-ˈjecture". The correct pronunciation is "ˈkən-ˌdʒɛk-tʃər" (US) or "kən-ˈdʒɛk-tʃə" (UK). Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable.
- Vowel sound confusion: Some may pronounce "conjecture" with a long "o" sound, saying "cōnjecture". The first syllable should have a schwa sound, pronounced as "kən". Tip: Practice saying "kən" to get the right vowel sound.
- Silent letters: Learners sometimes omit the "t" in "conjecture", pronouncing it as "con-jec-cher". The "t" is important in the word. Tip: Focus on pronouncing the "t" clearly to maintain the word's integrity.
- Ending sound mispronunciation: Some people pronounce the ending as "cher", leading to "conjecture" sounding like "conject-cher". The correct ending is "tʃər" (US) or "tʃə" (UK). Tip: Practice the "tʃ" sound to perfect the ending.
- Overemphasis on syllables: A common mistake is overemphasizing the second syllable, resulting in "con-ject-ˈure". The stress should be on the first syllable. Tip: Keep the second syllable light and quick to avoid this mistake.
