Common mistakes of immigrant pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "im-"ˈmi-grant instead of the correct "im-"ˈmi-grant. Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable to sound more natural.
- Vowel confusion: Some learners pronounce the "i" as "ɪ" in "immigrant," leading to "ɪmˈmi-grant." The correct pronunciation uses "ɪ" in both US and UK variants. Tip: Practice the "i" sound as in "it" to get it right.
- Final "t" sound: A common mistake is dropping the final "t," resulting in "immigran." The correct pronunciation includes the "t" sound: "ˈɪmɪɡrənt." Tip: Emphasize the "t" at the end to ensure clarity.
- Overemphasis on vowels: Some speakers stress the vowels too much, saying "i-"ˈmi-grant. The correct pronunciation has a more balanced sound: "ˈɪmɪɡrənt." Tip: Focus on even stress across syllables for better flow.
- Mispronouncing the "g": Learners may mispronounce the "g" as a "j" sound, saying "im-"ˈmi-jrant." The correct sound is a hard "g": "ˈɪmɪɡrənt." Tip: Practice with words like "go" to reinforce the hard "g" sound.
