Common mistakes of entrepreneurial pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "en-tre-pre-" instead of the correct "en-tre-pre-" (ˌɒn.trə.prəˈnɜː.ri.əl in UK, ˌɑn.trə.prəˈnɝː.i.əl in US). Tip: Focus on placing the primary stress on the last syllable.
- Vowel sounds: Some mispronounce the "eu" in "entrepreneurial" as "oo" instead of the correct "uh" sound (ˌɒn.trə.prəˈnɜː.ri.əl in UK, ˌɑn.trə.prəˈnɝː.i.əl in US). Tip: Practice saying "uh" to get used to the correct vowel sound.
- Silent letters: Learners often pronounce the "t" in "entrepreneurial," which should be silent. The correct pronunciation is "on-truh-pruh-NUR-ee-uhl." Tip: Remember that the "t" is not pronounced, so focus on the vowel sounds instead.
- Length of syllables: Some speakers rush through the syllables, making them sound too short. The correct pronunciation has elongated syllables, particularly the last one. Tip: Break the word into parts and practice each part slowly to maintain clarity.
- Overemphasis on "entre": A common mistake is to overemphasize "entre," making it sound like a separate word. Instead, it should flow smoothly into the rest of the word. Tip: Say the entire word "entrepreneurial" in one smooth motion to improve fluency.
