Common mistakes of erysipelas pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Many people mispronounce "erysipelas" by using incorrect vowel sounds, especially in the first syllable. The correct pronunciation is /ˌɛr.ɪˈsɪp.ə.ləs/ in US English and /ˌɛr.ɪˈsɪp.əl.əs/ in UK English. Tip: Focus on the "ɛ" sound in the first syllable.
- Stress placement errors: Some learners place stress on the wrong syllable, saying "erysipelas" as /ˈɛr.ɪ.sɪ.pə.ləs/. The primary stress should be on the third syllable. Tip: Remember to emphasize "sip" when pronouncing the word.
