Common mistakes of endure pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners place stress incorrectly on "en-" instead of the correct syllable "du" as in /ɪnˈdʒʊr/ (US) and /ɪnˈdjuə/ (UK). Tip: Focus on emphasizing the "du" syllable when pronouncing "endure".
- Overemphasizing "en": Some speakers tend to overemphasize the "en-" sound, making it sound too strong. The correct pronunciation has a softer "en" as in /ɪnˈdʒʊr/ (US) and /ɪnˈdjuə/ (UK). Tip: Practice saying "endure" with a light touch on "en".
- Ignoring the vowel sound: Learners sometimes mispronounce "endure" by neglecting the vowel sound in the second syllable, leading to confusion. The correct sound is /dʒʊr/ (US) and /djuə/ (UK). Tip: Pay attention to the vowel sound in "du" for clarity.
- Mispronouncing the final sound: Some people pronounce "endure" with a hard "r" sound at the end, which is not accurate in standard English. The correct sounds are softer in both accents: /ɪnˈdʒʊr/ (US) and /ɪnˈdjuə/ (UK). Tip: Practice saying "endure" with a softer ending to sound more natural.
- Confusing with similar words: Learners may confuse "endure" with words like "ensure" or "endear." Each has distinct sounds and meanings. "Endure" is pronounced /ɪnˈdʒʊr/ (US) and /ɪnˈdjuə/ (UK). Tip: Familiarize yourself with each word's pronunciation to avoid mix-ups.
