Common mistakes of decomposition pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, pronouncing "decomposition" as /ˌdiː.kəmˈpəʊ.zɪʃ.ən/ (UK) or /ˌdi.kəmˈpɑː.zɪʃ.ən/ (US). Tip: Remember to stress the third syllable instead: /ˌdiː.kəm.pəˈzɪʃ.ən/.
- Vowel sounds: Some people mispronounce the first vowel sound, saying "decomposition" with a short "i" as in "bit." This leads to /ˌdɪ.kəm.pəˈzɪʃ.ən/. Tip: Use a long "e" sound as in "see" for the first syllable: /ˌdiː.kəm.pəˈzɪʃ.ən/.
- Missing syllables: A common mistake is omitting the second syllable, leading to a pronunciation like "decomposition" as /ˈdiː.kəˌpɑː.zɪʃ.ən/. Tip: Ensure to pronounce all syllables clearly: /ˌdiː.kəm.pəˈzɪʃ.ən/.
- Incorrect "c" sound: Some learners pronounce the "c" in "decomposition" as a hard "k," resulting in /ˌdiː.kəˈkɒm.pəˈzɪʃ.ən/. Tip: Pronounce the "c" as a soft "s" sound: /ˌdiː.kəm.pəˈzɪʃ.ən/.
- Final syllable confusion: Many pronounce the last syllable as "shun," leading to /ˌdiː.kəm.pəˈzɪʃ.ən/. Tip: The correct pronunciation ends with "shun" as /ˌdiː.kəm.pəˈzɪʃ.ən/.
