Common mistakes of ejaculation pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ejaculation" as /ɪˌdʒæk.jʊˈleɪ.ʃən/. Tip: Remember to stress the third syllable, as in /ɪˌdʒæk.jʊˈleɪ.ʃən/ in US and UK pronunciation.
Overemphasizing vowels: A common mistake is overemphasizing the "u" sound, resulting in "ejaculation" pronounced as /ɪˌdʒæk.jʊˈleɪ.ʃən/. Tip: Keep the "u" sound short and subtle, as in /ɪˌdʒæk.jʊˈleɪ.ʃən/.
Ignoring the "j" sound: Some learners pronounce "ejaculation" without a clear "j" sound, saying /ɪˌæk.jʊˈleɪ.ʃən/. Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "j" distinctly, as in /ɪˌdʒæk.jʊˈleɪ.ʃən/.
Skipping the "e" at the beginning: Occasionally, speakers drop the initial "e," saying "jaculation" as /dʒæk.jʊˈleɪ.ʃən/. Tip: Always include the "e" to maintain clarity, pronouncing it as /ɪˌdʒæk.jʊˈleɪ.ʃən/.
Mispronouncing the final "tion": Some may incorrectly pronounce "ejaculation" as /ɪˌdʒæk.jʊˈleɪ.ʃən/. Tip: Focus on the "tion" ending, pronounced /ʃən/, to ensure correct pronunciation as /ɪˌdʒæk.jʊˈleɪ.ʃən/.
