Common mistakes of envisage pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "en-ˈvi-sage." The correct stress is on the second syllable in UK English (ˈɛn.vɪ.sɪdʒ) and the first syllable in US English (ɪnˈvɪ.zɪdʒ). Tip: Focus on the primary stress to improve clarity.
- Vowel confusion: Some may mispronounce the first vowel, saying "en-vis-ij" instead of "en-vis-ˌɪdʒ." The correct pronunciation has a short "e" sound in the first syllable. Tip: Practice the "ɛ" sound as in "bed" to get it right.
- Ending sound: A common mistake is to pronounce the ending as "envisage" with a hard "g," sounding like "envisag." The correct ending is a soft "j" sound, represented as "ʒ." Tip: Try saying "vision" to help with the soft ending.
- Syllable count: Some learners may say "en-vi-sage" as three syllables. The correct pronunciation is two syllables: "en-vis-age" (UK) and "in-viz-age" (US). Tip: Break it down into two clear parts to avoid confusion.
- Overemphasis on vowels: Pronouncing "envisage" with exaggerated vowels can lead to unclear speech. For instance, saying "en-vi-sahj" is incorrect. The correct pronunciation has more subtle vowel sounds. Tip: Listen to native speakers to understand the natural rhythm and vowel sounds.
