Common mistakes of immortality pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "im-mor-ˈtal-i-ty". This is incorrect. The primary stress is on the third syllable: "im-mor-ˌˈtal-i-ty". Tip: Focus on the "tal" for the correct emphasis.
- Pronouncing the "t" sound: Many pronounce "immortality" with a soft "t", sounding like "im-mor-al-i-ty". In reality, the "t" should be clear and crisp, as in /t/. Tip: Practice saying "t" sharply to avoid this mistake.
- Overemphasizing vowels: Some may overly elongate the vowels in "immortality", leading to "i-mor-ta-li-ty". This can make the word sound unnatural. The correct pronunciation is more fluid: /ɪmɔːrˈtælɪti/. Tip: Keep the vowels short and connected.
- Ignoring the schwa: Learners often overlook the schwa sound in the second syllable, pronouncing it as "im-mor-ˈtal-i-ty". The correct pronunciation features a schwa: /ɪmɔːrˈtælɪti/. Tip: Remember that unstressed syllables often use the schwa sound.
- Incorrectly pronouncing "immor": Some may say "im-mor" as "im-mor" with a long "o" sound. The correct pronunciation is with a short "o": /ɪmɔːr/. Tip: Practice with words like "more" vs. "mop" to distinguish vowel sounds.
