Common mistakes of entrance pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "en-ˈtrance" instead of the correct "ˈen-trance". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
- Incorrect vowel sound: Pronouncing "entrance" with an "a" sound as in "cat" can lead to confusion. The correct vowel sound is a short "e" as in "bed" (ˈen-trance). Tip: Focus on the "e" sound to ensure clarity.
- Overemphasizing the "t": Some may pronounce "entrance" with a heavy emphasis on the "t," sounding like "en-trance" (ˈɛn.træns). Tip: Keep the "t" light and connected to the preceding vowel for a smoother pronunciation.
- Omitting the vowel sound: A common mistake is to skip the vowel sound in the second syllable, leading to "en-trns." This can make the word hard to recognize. Tip: Always pronounce both syllables clearly: "ˈen-trance."
- Confusing with "entrance" and "entrance": Some learners mix up the pronunciation of "entrance" (ˈen-trance) with "entrance" (ˈɛn.trəns) as a verb meaning to captivate. Tip: Pay attention to the context to use the correct form.
