Common mistakes of consideration pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, saying "con-si-ˌder-a-tion". This is incorrect. The primary stress is on the third syllable: "con-si-ˈder-a-tion". Tip: Focus on saying "der" louder and longer.
- Skipping syllables: A common mistake is to shorten "consideration" to "con-sid-ra-tion". This omits the "e" sound, making it unclear. The full pronunciation is "con-si-ˈder-a-tion". Tip: Practice saying each syllable clearly to avoid skipping.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some people pronounce the "o" in "consideration" like "aw", saying "con-sid-ˌer-a-tion". The correct sound is a short "o" as in "cot". Tip: Listen to native speakers to catch the right vowel sounds.
- Overemphasizing "tion": Learners may stress the "tion" ending too much, saying "con-si-der-a-ˈtion". This can sound unnatural. The correct stress pattern is "con-si-ˈder-a-tion". Tip: Keep the "tion" softer and blend it into the previous syllable.
- Confusing consonant sounds: Some mispronounce the "s" in "consideration" as a "z", resulting in "con-zi-der-a-tion". This changes the word's sound. The correct pronunciation has an "s" sound: "con-si-ˈder-a-tion". Tip: Pay attention to the "s" sound in similar words.
