Common mistakes of diversity pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "di-VER-sity" instead of the correct "di-VER-sity" (ˌdaɪˈvɜːr.sɪ.ti). Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the third syllable.
- Vowel sound confusion: Some pronounce the "i" in "diversity" as a long "ee" sound, saying "dee-VER-sity" (ˌdiːˈvɜːr.sɪ.ti). Tip: Focus on the short "i" sound like in "sit" for accurate pronunciation.
- Syllable omission: A common mistake is dropping the "er" sound, leading to "di-VA-sity." This mispronunciation does not reflect the correct structure of the word. Tip: Make sure to articulate all syllables clearly: "di-VER-sity."
- Final "ty" pronunciation: Some learners pronounce "ty" as "tee," resulting in "di-VER-sit-tee." The correct pronunciation ends with a short "i" sound, making it "ti." Tip: Practice saying "city" to master the ending sound in "diversity."
- Over-emphasizing consonants: A few may over-emphasize the "d" sound, saying "DIVERS-ity" with a strong initial consonant. The correct pronunciation is softer. Tip: Keep the "d" sound light, focusing on the flow into "iversity."
