Common mistakes of esthetician pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Many people incorrectly place the stress on the second syllable, saying "es-the-ˈti-shun". The correct pronunciation is "ˌes-tə-ˈtɪʃ-ən" in US and "ˌes-tə-ˈtɪʃ-ən" in UK. Tip: Focus on stressing the third syllable to sound more accurate.
  2. Ignoring the schwa sound: Some learners pronounce "esthetician" as "es-the-ˈti-shun", neglecting the schwa sound in the second syllable. The correct pronunciation includes the schwa, as in "ˌes-tə-ˈtɪʃ-ən". Tip: Remember that the unstressed syllable is softer and less pronounced.
  3. Incorrect vowel sounds: A common mistake is mispronouncing the "i" in the third syllable as "eye" instead of the short "i" sound. It should be pronounced as "ˈtɪʃ" not "ˈtaɪsh". Tip: Practice saying "tin" to get the correct short "i" sound.
  4. Overemphasizing the ending: Some speakers add extra emphasis on the "an" ending, pronouncing it as "an" instead of the softer "ən". The correct pronunciation is "ˌes-tə-ˈtɪʃ-ən". Tip: Keep the ending light and quick to maintain the word's flow.
  5. Mispronouncing as "esthetician": A common error is to pronounce the word with an "e" sound at the beginning, saying "e-sthetician". The correct pronunciation starts with "es", as in "ˌes-tə-ˈtɪʃ-ən". Tip: Be mindful of the initial sound and practice saying "es" clearly.
