Common mistakes of enticing pronunciation

Stress placement: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, saying "en-TI-cing" /ɪnˈtaɪ.sɪŋ/. The correct stress is on the second syllable: "en-TI-cing" /ɪnˈtaɪ.sɪŋ/. Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on "TI".
Vowel sound confusion: Many pronounce the first vowel as "e" instead of "ɪ", saying "en-ticing" /ɛnˈtaɪ.sɪŋ/. The correct pronunciation starts with the short "i" sound: "in-ticing" /ɪnˈtaɪ.sɪŋ/. Tip: Practice the short "i" sound to avoid this mistake.
Final consonant blending: Some may drop the "g" at the end, pronouncing it as "entice" /ɪnˈtaɪs/. The correct form includes the "g": "enticing" /ɪnˈtaɪ.sɪŋ/. Tip: Emphasize the "g" to ensure clarity in pronunciation.
Incorrect syllable division: Learners might split the word incorrectly as "en-tic-ing" /ɛnˈtɪk.ɪŋ/. The proper division is into "en-TI-cing" /ɪnˈtaɪ.sɪŋ/. Tip: Focus on the syllable structure to maintain the word's flow.
Overemphasis on the "t": Some speakers overly stress the "t" sound, making it sound harsh, like "en-TICE-ing" /ɛnˈtaɪs.ɪŋ/. The "t" should be clear but not overly pronounced. Tip: Keep the "t" soft and fluid within the word.
