Common mistakes of endangered pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, saying "en-ˈdan-gered". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "en-ˈdan-ʤərd". Tip: Remember that the stress falls on "dan".
  2. Omitting the "d" sound: A common mistake is dropping the "d" sound, pronouncing it as "en-ˈan-gered". This can confuse listeners. Tip: Focus on clearly articulating the "d" in "endangered".
  3. Incorrect vowel sound: Some pronounce "endangered" with an "a" sound, saying "en-ˈdæn-ʤərd". The correct pronunciation uses a short "e" sound: "en-ˈdeɪn-ʤərd". Tip: Practice the "eɪ" sound to ensure clarity.
  4. Confusing "endangered" with "danger": Learners might shorten "endangered" to "ˈdeɪn-ʤər", losing the prefix. This alters the meaning. Tip: Always include the "en-" prefix to convey the full term.
  5. Blending syllables: Some say "en-ˈdan-ʤerd", blending the last two syllables together. The correct pronunciation separates them: "en-ˈdan-ʤərd". Tip: Practice pausing slightly between syllables to maintain clarity.
