Common mistakes of hezekiah pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some may incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "He-ze-KI-ah". The correct stress is on the last syllable, pronounced /ˌhɛz.əˈkaɪ.ə/ in US and /ˌhɛz.əˈkaɪ.ə/ in UK. Tip: Focus on emphasizing the "KAI" part.
- Vowel confusion: The first syllable may be mispronounced as "Hez" instead of "Hez". The correct pronunciation is /ˈhɛz/ in both US and UK. Tip: Ensure the "e" sounds like "eh" as in "bed".
- Ignoring syllable count: Some may pronounce "Hezekiah" as a three-syllable word, like "Hez-e-kiah". The correct pronunciation consists of four syllables: /ˌhɛz.əˈkaɪ.ə/. Tip: Break it down into "Hez" - "e" - "KAI" - "ah".
- Mispronouncing the last syllable: The last syllable may be incorrectly pronounced as "iah" instead of "ia". The correct sound is /ə/ in both US and UK. Tip: Practice saying "ah" quickly to achieve the correct sound.
- Overemphasizing consonants: Some may pronounce "Hezekiah" with a heavy "h" sound, as in "HHezekiah". The correct pronunciation starts with a light "h" /h/. Tip: Keep the "h" soft and smooth to avoid overemphasis.
