Common mistakes of details pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, saying "de-ˈtails" instead of the correct "ˈdetails". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
- Overemphasizing the "t": A common mistake is overpronouncing the "t" in "details", making it sound like "deh-ˈtales". Tip: Keep the "t" soft and quick for a more natural sound, as in "ˈdetails".
- Dropping the "s": Some people say "detail" without the final "s", pronouncing it as "ˈdeɪ.təl". Tip: Always include the "s" sound at the end to indicate the plural form, as in "ˈdetails".
- Incorrect vowel sound: A frequent error is mispronouncing the first vowel, saying "dee-tails" instead of "ˈdetails". Tip: Use the short "e" sound as in "bed" for the first syllable to pronounce it correctly.
- Blending sounds: Some learners blend the "d" and "e" sounds, pronouncing it as "dee-tails". Tip: Keep the sounds distinct, pronouncing the "d" clearly followed by the short "e" sound for clarity in "ˈdetails".
