Common mistakes of exotic pronunciation
- Stress misplacement: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ex-OH-tic" [ɪɡˈzɒtɪk]. The correct stress is on the second syllable in US English [ɪɡˈzɑtɪk]. Tip: Focus on saying "exotic" with the stress on "zo" for clarity.
- Vowel confusion: The first vowel is often mispronounced as "e" instead of the correct "ɪ" in "exotic" [ɪɡˈzɒtɪk]. This can lead to confusion with other words. Tip: Practice the "ih" sound in "bit" for the first syllable.
- Final consonant blending: Some speakers may blend the "t" at the end, pronouncing it as "exoci" [ɪɡˈzɒtɪ]. The "t" should be clear and distinct. Tip: Emphasize the "t" at the end to ensure correct pronunciation.
- Overemphasizing the "x": Learners sometimes overly stress the "x," saying "EX-otic" [ˈɛk.sɒtɪk]. This can sound unnatural. Tip: Keep the "x" soft and blend it into the first syllable.
- Incorrect vowel length: Some might pronounce the "o" in "exotic" as a long vowel, leading to "ex-OH-tic" [ɪɡˈzoʊtɪk]. The vowel should be short. Tip: Use a quick, short "o" sound to maintain the word's rhythm.
