Common mistakes of disease pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the first syllable, pronouncing it as "ˈdɪziːz." The correct stress is on the second syllable: "disease" is pronounced "dɪˈziːz" in both US and UK English. Tip: Remember to emphasize the second part of the word.
- Vowel confusion: Some might pronounce "disease" with a short "i" sound, saying "dɪˈzɪz." The correct pronunciation has a long "ee" sound: "dɪˈziːz." Tip: Practice elongating the "ee" sound to avoid this mistake.
- Adding an extra syllable: It's common to hear learners say "dɪˈziːəz," adding an unnecessary sound. The correct pronunciation has only two syllables: "disease" is "dɪˈziːz." Tip: Focus on the two clear syllables when saying the word.
- Mispronouncing the "s" sound: Some may pronounce "disease" with a "z" sound, saying "dɪˈziːz." The correct pronunciation is with a soft "s": "disease" is pronounced "dɪˈziːz." Tip: Practice the "s" sound to ensure clarity.
- Confusing "disease" with "diseased": Learners sometimes mix up the noun "disease" with the adjective "diseased," pronouncing them similarly. "Disease" is "dɪˈziːz," while "diseased" has a different stress: "dɪˈziːzd." Tip: Pay attention to the endings to differentiate between the two.
