Common mistakes of consequence pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "con-se-ˈquence". Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable: "ˈkɒn.sɪ.kwəns" (UK) or "ˈkɑːn.sə.kwəns" (US).
- Vowel sounds: Some pronounce the first syllable as "kən", leading to "kən-se-kwəns". Tip: Ensure the first syllable is pronounced with an "o" sound, as in "kɒn" (UK) or "kɑn" (US).
- Syllable count: A common mistake is to add an extra syllable, saying "con-se-quence" instead of "con-se-ˈquence". Tip: Focus on the three-syllable structure: "ˈkɒn.sɪ.kwəns" (UK) or "ˈkɑːn.sə.kwəns" (US).
- Ending sound: Some learners omit the final "s" sound, pronouncing it as "consequence" without the "s". Tip: Make sure to clearly pronounce the "s" at the end: "ˈkɒn.sɪ.kwəns" (UK) or "ˈkɑːn.sə.kwəns" (US).
- Linking sounds: When saying "consequence" in a sentence, some may not link it smoothly with the following word. Tip: Practice linking the final "s" sound to the next word for a more natural flow.
