Common mistakes of gazelle pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners may incorrectly place stress on the second syllable, saying "ga-ZEL" instead of the correct "GA-zelle". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, marked as ˈɡæ.zɛl in both US and UK.
- Vowel confusion: The vowel sound in the first syllable can be mispronounced. Instead of the short "a" as in "cat", some might say "gah". Tip: Focus on the short "a" sound, represented as æ, to achieve the correct pronunciation.
- Overemphasizing the "z": Some may pronounce "gazelle" with an exaggerated "z", sounding like "ga-ZELL". Tip: Keep the "z" sound soft and blend it smoothly into the vowel, as shown in the IPA ˈɡæ.zɛl.
- Missing the final "l": A common mistake is dropping the final "l" sound, leading to "gazé". Tip: Ensure to pronounce the "l" clearly at the end, as it is essential for the correct articulation of "gazelle".
- Incorrect vowel in the second syllable: Some may use a long "e" sound, pronouncing it as "ga-zeel". Tip: Use the short "e" sound, represented as ɛ, to correctly pronounce the second syllable as "zɛl".
