Common mistakes of consecration pronunciation

Stress placement: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "con-se-ˈcra-tion". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "ˌkɒn.sɪˈkreɪ.ʃən" (UK), "ˌkɑn.səˈkreɪ.ʃən" (US). Tip: Remember to emphasize the "crea" part.
Vowel confusion: Mispronouncing the "o" in the first syllable as "a" can lead to saying "ˈkɒn.sə.kreɪ.ʃən". The correct vowel sound is "ɒ" (UK) or "ɑ" (US). Tip: Focus on a clear "con" sound, not "can".
Final "tion" sound: Some might pronounce the ending as "shun" instead of "ʃən". The correct pronunciation is "ˈkreɪ.ʃən", not "ˈkreɪ.shun". Tip: Practice the "shun" sound by repeating "station" or "nation".
Syllable omission: A common mistake is dropping the first syllable, leading to "se-ˈkreɪ.ʃən". Each syllable is important, so say "ˌkɒn.sɪˈkreɪ.ʃən" (UK) or "ˌkɑn.səˈkreɪ.ʃən" (US). Tip: Break it down into parts when practicing.
Overemphasis on "s": Some learners stress the "s" too much, saying "con-se-ˈkra-tion". The "s" should be softer, as in "ˌkɒn.sɪˈkreɪ.ʃən" (UK), "ˌkɑn.səˈkreɪ.ʃən" (US). Tip: Keep the "s" light and focus on the vowel sounds.
