Common mistakes of diseases pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "di-ˈziːz-ɪz". This is incorrect. The primary stress is on the second syllable: "dɪ-ˈziːz-ɪz". Tip: Focus on emphasizing "ziːz" when pronouncing "diseases".
- Omitting the vowel sound: Many people drop the vowel in the first syllable, saying "diz-iz". This can lead to confusion. The correct pronunciation includes the initial vowel: "dɪ". Tip: Practice saying "diseases" slowly to ensure you pronounce the "dɪ" clearly.
- Incorrect vowel length: Some may pronounce the second syllable too short, saying "dɪ-ˈziz-ɪz". In reality, it should be "ziː" as in "see". Tip: Stretch the "zi" to match the sound in "disease".
- Adding an extra syllable: A common mistake is saying "diseases" with four syllables, like "di-ˈziː-siz-iz". This is incorrect; it has only three syllables. Tip: Count the syllables as you say "diseases" to reinforce the correct structure.
- Confusing with similar words: Some confuse "diseases" with "diseased", leading to mispronunciation. "Diseases" is pronounced "dɪ-ˈziːz-ɪz", while "diseased" is "dɪ-ˈziːzd". Tip: Practice these words in pairs to distinguish their sounds clearly.
