Common mistakes of hemorrhagic pronunciation

  1. Stress misplacement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "hem-or-ˈraj-ik." The correct stress is on the third syllable: "hem-or-ˈrædʒ-ɪk" (US) and "hem-or-ˈrædʒ-ɪk" (UK). Tip: Focus on the "rædʒ" part for proper emphasis.
  2. Vowel confusion: Some may pronounce "hemorrhagic" with an unclear vowel sound, saying "hem-or-ˈhaj-ik." The "o" should sound like "or" in "for." Tip: Practice saying "or" clearly to avoid this mistake.
  3. Silent letters: Learners often overlook the silent "h" in "hemorrhagic," pronouncing it as "ˈhɛm-or-ˈrædʒ-ɪk." The "h" is silent, so it should start with "em." Tip: Remember, it's "em-or-ˈrædʒ-ɪk."
  4. Incorrect syllable count: Some speakers may mistakenly add or drop syllables, saying "hem-or-ˈhaj-ik" instead of "hem-or-ˈrædʒ-ɪk." The correct syllable count is four. Tip: Break it down into "hem-or-rha-gic" to maintain clarity.
  5. Mispronouncing "r": The "r" sound in "hemorrhagic" can be mispronounced, leading to "hem-or-ˈhædʒ-ɪk." The correct pronunciation uses a softer "r" sound. Tip: Practice with words like "red" and "run" to refine your "r" pronunciation.
