Common mistakes of guacamole pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the wrong syllable, saying "guacamole" as /ˌɡwɑːkəˈmoʊli/ instead of the correct US pronunciation /ˌɡwɑːkəˈmoʊleɪ/. Tip: Remember to place primary stress on the third syllable, "mo".
- Ignoring the "g": A common mistake is to pronounce "guacamole" as /ˌwɑːkəˈmoʊli/, dropping the initial "g". Tip: Always pronounce the "g" as /ɡ/, ensuring it sounds like "gwah".
- Overemphasizing the "a": Some might say "guacamole" with an exaggerated "a", resulting in /ˌɡwɑːkəˈmɔːli/. Tip: Keep the "a" sound subtle; it should be pronounced as /ə/ in the second syllable.
- Mispronouncing the final "e": Learners may say "guacamole" ending with /li/ instead of the correct /leɪ/. Tip: The final "e" should sound like "lay", ensuring clarity in the pronunciation.
- Confusing vowel sounds: Some people mispronounce "guacamole" by using the wrong vowel sounds, saying /ˌɡwɑːkəˈmɒli/. Tip: Focus on the US pronunciation, where the second syllable uses a schwa sound /ə/ instead of /ɒ/.
