Common mistakes of enjoy pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners may stress the second syllable, saying "en-'joy" instead of the correct "en-'joy". Tip: Remember that the primary stress falls on the second syllable, as indicated by ˈ in IPA: /ɪnˈdʒɔɪ/ (US), /ɪnˈdʒɔɪ/ (UK).
- Overemphasizing the "n": People might pronounce "enjoy" with a strong "n" sound, making it sound like "en-njoy". Tip: Keep the "n" soft and quick to maintain the fluidity of the word, as shown in the IPA: /ɪnˈdʒɔɪ/.
- Shortening the vowel sound: Some may say "enjoy" with a short "o" sound, as in "en-juh". Tip: Make sure to use the long "oy" sound, pronounced as /ɔɪ/, to capture the correct pronunciation.
- Incorrect vowel placement: Learners might pronounce "enjoy" with a different vowel sound, such as "en-gee". Tip: Focus on the "oy" sound, ensuring it is pronounced as /ɔɪ/ rather than changing it to "ee".
- Adding extra syllables: Some may pronounce "enjoy" as "en-joy-uh" or "en-joying". Tip: Remember that "enjoy" is a two-syllable word; avoid adding unnecessary sounds to keep it concise.
