Common mistakes of convey pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "con-VEY" /kənˈveɪ/. The correct stress is on the second syllable in both US and UK English. Tip: Focus on saying "con-VEY" with emphasis on "VEY".
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some pronounce the first syllable as "con" /kɒn/ instead of the correct "con" /kən/. This can lead to confusion. Tip: Practice saying "con" with a schwa sound, like "kuhn".
- Overemphasizing the "y": A common mistake is to pronounce the "y" at the end as a separate syllable, saying "convey-y" /kənˈveɪ.i/. In reality, it's a single syllable. Tip: Blend the sounds smoothly without adding extra syllables.
- Omitting the "v" sound: Some may say "con-kay" /kənˈkeɪ/ instead of "convey" /kənˈveɪ/. This changes the meaning entirely. Tip: Ensure the "v" sound is clear and pronounced, like in "very".
- Confusing with similar words: Learners often mix up "convey" with "convoy" /ˈkɒnvɔɪ/. While they sound similar, their meanings are different. Tip: Listen to native speakers to distinguish between the two words clearly.
