Common mistakes of hiring pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "hi-ˈring". The correct pronunciation is "ˈhaɪərɪŋ" in US English and "ˈhaɪərɪŋ" in UK English. Tip: Focus on the first syllable for proper emphasis.
- Omitting the vowel sound: Some people pronounce "hiring" as "ˈhɪrɪŋ", missing the initial "aɪ" sound. This can lead to confusion. Tip: Practice saying "hi" first to ensure you include the correct vowel sound.
- Confusing "hiring" with "hiring" (noun vs. verb): Learners sometimes pronounce the noun form "hiring" differently than the verb form. Both should be pronounced "ˈhaɪərɪŋ". Tip: Remember that context doesn't change the pronunciation; focus on the same sound.
- Mispronouncing the final "g": Some may say "hiring" as "ˈhaɪərɪn", dropping the final "g". This is incorrect in both US and UK English. Tip: Ensure you articulate the "g" sound clearly at the end of the word.
- Overemphasizing the "h": A common error is to overly stress the "h" sound, making it sound harsh, like "ˈhˈaɪərɪŋ". The correct pronunciation should flow smoothly. Tip: Relax your throat while pronouncing the "h" to make it softer.
