Common mistakes of crepuscular pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some learners mispronounce "crepuscular" by using the wrong vowel sounds, saying /kɹɪˈpʌs.kjʊ.lər/ instead of the correct /krɪˈpʌs.kjʊ.lər/. Tip: Focus on the "e" sounding like "i" in "kit."
- Stress misplacement: A common mistake is placing stress on the first syllable, pronouncing it as /ˈkɹɛ.pʌs.kjʊ.lər/ instead of the correct /krɪˈpʌs.kjʊ.lər/. Tip: Remember that the stress is on the second syllable.
- Overemphasizing "c": Some people pronounce the "c" in "crepuscular" too strongly, sounding like /kɹɛˈpʌs.kjʊ.lər/. Tip: Keep the "c" soft, almost blending it with the "r" sound.
- Omitting syllables: Learners might drop the last syllable, saying /krɪˈpʌs.kjʊ/ instead of /krɪˈpʌs.kjʊ.lər/. Tip: Ensure you pronounce all syllables clearly to maintain the word's integrity.
- Confusing "u" sounds: Many confuse the "u" in "crepuscular," pronouncing it as /kɹɪˈpʌs.kjʊ.lɛr/ instead of /krɪˈpʌs.kjʊ.lər/. Tip: The "u" should sound like "you," not "eh."
