Common mistakes of exploitation pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "ex-plo-ˈi-ta-tion". This is incorrect. The correct stress is on the third syllable: "ˌɛks.plɔɪˈteɪ.ʃən". Tip: Remember to emphasize "teɪ" when pronouncing "exploitation".
- Overemphasizing vowels: A common mistake is overemphasizing the "o" in "exploitation", leading to a pronunciation like "ˌɛk-spo-ˈi-teɪ-ʃən". This can sound awkward. Tip: Focus on a balanced vowel sound, especially in the second syllable, to maintain clarity.
- Dropping syllables: Some may unintentionally drop the "ex" at the beginning, saying "ˈplo-ˌi-teɪ-ʃən". This alters the word significantly. Tip: Always pronounce the full "ex" sound to keep the integrity of "exploitation".
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Learners sometimes mispronounce the "a" in the last syllable, saying "exploitation" as "ex-plo-i-ˈteɪ-ʃən". The correct sound is "ˈteɪ" as in "day". Tip: Practice the "teɪ" sound to ensure accuracy in the final syllable.
- Confusing similar words: Some confuse "exploitation" with "exploration", leading to mispronunciations like "ˌɛk-splɔˈreɪ-ʃən". It's crucial to differentiate the two. Tip: Focus on the distinct sounds in "exploitation" to avoid blending it with "exploration".
