Common mistakes of homogeneous pronunciation

  1. Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ho-mo-ˈgene-ous". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "ho-mo-ˌgene-ous". Tip: Remember to emphasize the "gene" part.
  2. Vowel confusion: Some pronounce the "o" in the first syllable as "ah", leading to "ha-mo-ˌgene-ous". The correct sound is the long "o" as in "go": "ho-mo-ˌgene-ous". Tip: Practice saying "ho" like the letter "O".
  3. Syllable omission: A common mistake is dropping the last syllable, saying "ho-mo-ˈgene". The full pronunciation includes all syllables: "ho-mo-ˌgene-ous". Tip: Break the word down into parts to ensure you include every syllable.
  4. Mispronouncing the "g": Some say "ho-mo-ˈgen-ous", using a hard "g" sound. The correct pronunciation uses a soft "g": "ho-mo-ˌgene-ous". Tip: Think of "gene" to guide the pronunciation of the "g".
  5. Ignoring the "ous": Learners often overlook the "ous" ending, pronouncing it as "ho-mo-ˌgen". The correct ending is pronounced as "ous": "ho-mo-ˌgene-ous". Tip: Always articulate the "ous" to complete the word properly.
