Common mistakes of guarantor pronunciation
- Stress misplacement: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "guar-an-'tor". The correct stress is on the third syllable: /ˌɡɛr.ənˈtɔːr/ (US) and /ˌgær.ənˈtɔː/ (UK). Tip: Practice saying "guarantor" with emphasis on "tor" to improve accuracy.
- Vowel confusion: The vowel sound in the second syllable is often mispronounced as "a" instead of "ə". This leads to saying "guar-an-'tor" instead of "guar-ən-'tor". Tip: Focus on the schwa sound /ə/ in unstressed syllables for clearer pronunciation.
- Omitting syllables: Some may drop the second syllable, pronouncing it as "guar-tor". This omission alters the word's structure and meaning. The correct pronunciation is "guar-an-tor". Tip: Break the word into syllables to ensure all parts are pronounced.
- Incorrect final sound: Learners sometimes pronounce the final "tor" as "ter", leading to "guarant-er". The correct ending is /tɔːr/ (US) or /tɔː/ (UK). Tip: Pay attention to the "t" sound at the end and practice saying it clearly.
- Overemphasis on "guar": Some speakers may stress the first syllable too much, sounding like "GUAR-an-tor". While this is common, the stress should be balanced. Tip: Focus on maintaining even stress across syllables for a more natural sound.
