Common mistakes of fragility pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "fra-GIL-ity" instead of the correct "fra-ˈdʒɪl-ɪ-ti". Tip: Remember to emphasize the third syllable for clarity.
- Vowel sounds: Some pronounce the "a" as in "cat", leading to "fruh-GIL-ity". The correct pronunciation uses a schwa sound, making it "fra-ˈdʒɪl-ɪ-ti". Tip: Practice the schwa sound by saying "uh" lightly.
- Consonant clarity: Mispronouncing the "g" can lead to "fra-jil-ity" instead of "fra-ˈdʒɪl-ɪ-ti". The "g" should have a soft "j" sound. Tip: Focus on the "j" sound as in "jump" for accuracy.
- Syllable count: Some say "frag-il-ity" with only three syllables. The correct pronunciation has four: "fra-ˈdʒɪl-ɪ-ti". Tip: Break it down into four distinct syllables for practice.
- Linking sounds: Forgetting to link the "i" and "t" can lead to a choppy pronunciation, sounding like "fragil-it-y". The correct form is smoother: "fra-ˈdʒɪl-ɪ-ti". Tip: Practice saying it slowly to connect the sounds fluidly.
