Common mistakes of immense pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some learners mispronounce "immense" with a short "i" sound, saying /ɪˈmɛns/ instead of /ɪˈmɛns/. Tip: Focus on the long "i" sound in the first syllable to ensure clarity.
- Missing stress: A common mistake is not stressing the second syllable, leading to /ɪˈmɛns/ instead of /ɪˈmɛns/. Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the second syllable, which should be pronounced more forcefully.
- Overemphasis on "m": Some may overly stress the "m" sound, making it sound like "immense" has an extra syllable. Tip: Keep the "m" sound smooth and connected to the following vowel to maintain the correct syllable count.
- Incorrect ending sound: Learners sometimes pronounce the ending as /-s/ instead of the correct /-s/. Tip: Ensure you pronounce the ending clearly as /-s/ to avoid confusion with similar words.
