Common mistakes of genoese pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ge-no-ˈe-se". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "ˌdʒɛn.əˈwiːz" (US) and "ˌdʒɛn.əˈiːz" (UK). Tip: Focus on emphasizing the "wiːz" or "iːz" sound.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Many pronounce the first syllable as "ˈje" instead of "ˌdʒɛn". This leads to confusion with similar words. Tip: Practice saying "dʒɛn" clearly, ensuring the "e" is pronounced as in "pen".
- Overemphasizing the "o": Some learners stress the "o" in "genoese", leading to "ge-no-ˈe-se". This is incorrect. Tip: Remember that the "o" is subtle; focus more on the "e" in the first syllable.
- Ignoring the final sound: A common mistake is omitting the "z" sound at the end, resulting in "geno-e". The correct pronunciation includes the "z": "ˈwiːz" or "ˈiːz". Tip: Practice finishing the word with a clear "z" sound.
- Mispronouncing the "g": Some may say "g" as in "go" instead of the softer "j" sound. The first sound should be "dʒ". Tip: Practice with words like "judge" to get used to the "j" sound at the beginning.
