Common mistakes of image pronunciation
- Stress on the wrong syllable: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "i-MAGE" instead of "IM-age". Tip: Remember the primary stress is on the first syllable, /ˈɪm.ɪdʒ/ in US and /ˈɪm.ɪdʒ/ in UK.
- Mispronouncing the "g": Some may pronounce the "g" as a hard "g" like in "go", resulting in "i-magg-e". Tip: The "g" in "image" is a soft sound, pronounced as /dʒ/, similar to "j".
- Omitting the vowel sound: Learners sometimes skip the vowel sound in the second syllable, saying "imj" instead of "im-age". Tip: Ensure to pronounce both syllables clearly, maintaining the /ɪ/ sound in the second syllable.
- Confusing with similar words: Some confuse "image" with "imagine", leading to mispronunciation. Tip: Focus on the distinct sounds; "image" has a clear /ˈɪm.ɪdʒ/, while "imagine" has a different stress and vowel sound.
- Pronouncing as "imidge": Some might add an extra vowel sound, saying "im-idge". Tip: Stick to the correct sounds; "image" should be pronounced as /ˈɪm.ɪdʒ/, without unnecessary additions.
