Common mistakes of endurance pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "en-DUR-ance" instead of the correct "EN-dur-ance" /ɪnˈdʒʊərəns/ (US) /ɪnˈdjʊərəns/ (UK). Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
- Overemphasizing the "u": It's common to pronounce the "u" as a long vowel, resulting in "en-DU-rance." The correct pronunciation is shorter, as in "EN-dur-ance." Tip: Keep the "u" sound brief and relaxed.
- Ignoring the "d": Some people drop the "d" sound, saying "en-urance" instead of "en-DUR-ance." This can change the clarity of the word. Tip: Ensure to articulate the "d" clearly to maintain the word's integrity.
- Mispronouncing the "a": Learners may pronounce the "a" as "ah," leading to "en-dur-ahnce." The correct sound is more like "uh," as in "EN-dur-ance." Tip: Focus on a neutral "uh" sound for the "a" to get it right.
- Skipping the final "ce": Some might say "en-dur-ans," omitting the final "ce." This alters the word's meaning and sound. Tip: Always include the final "ce" to complete the pronunciation accurately.
