Common mistakes of crevice pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place the stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "cre-VICE" instead of "CREV-ice". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, noted as ˈkrɛv.ɪs in IPA.
- Omitting the vowel sound: A common mistake is to skip the vowel sound in the second syllable, pronouncing it as "CREV-c" instead of "CREV-ice". Tip: Ensure you pronounce both syllables clearly, as in ˈkrɛv.ɪs.
- Confusing with similar words: Some confuse "crevice" with "crevice" or "crevasse", leading to mispronunciation. Tip: Be aware of the differences; "crevice" is pronounced ˈkrɛv.ɪs, while "crevasse" is pronounced /krəˈvæs/.
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some say "crevice" with a long "e" sound, resulting in "cree-vice". Tip: Use the short "e" sound as in "bed", pronounced ˈkrɛv.ɪs.
- Inconsistent regional pronunciation: In some regions, "crevice" may be pronounced with a different vowel quality, leading to variations. Tip: Familiarize yourself with the standard pronunciations, which are ˈkrɛv.ɪs in both US and UK English.
