Common mistakes of eradicate pronunciation
- Stress placement: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "e-ˈradicate". In English, the primary stress is on the third syllable: "ɪˈrædɪˌkeɪt". Tip: Focus on the "ˈræ" syllable for correct emphasis.
- Vowel sound confusion: The vowel in the second syllable is often mispronounced. Instead of "a" as in "cat", it's pronounced like "æ" in "bad". Tip: Practice saying "æ" to differentiate it from other vowel sounds.
- Ending sound omission: Some speakers may drop the final "t" sound, saying "eradica" instead of "eradicate". The final "t" is essential in clarity. Tip: Emphasize the "t" at the end to ensure the word is fully articulated.
- Incorrect vowel length: The "i" in the third syllable is sometimes pronounced too short, leading to "eradicate" sounding like "eradicate". The correct pronunciation is "ɪ" as in "kit". Tip: Lengthen the "i" slightly to match the correct sound.
- Syllable count error: Learners may mistakenly pronounce "eradicate" with three syllables instead of four, saying "e-ˈrad-i-kate". The correct breakdown is "ɪ-ˈræ-dɪ-ˌkeɪt". Tip: Break the word into four distinct syllables to improve pronunciation accuracy.
