Common mistakes of immune pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many learners stress the second syllable, saying "im-MUNE". The correct pronunciation is "im-MYOON" (US: /ɪˈmjun/, UK: /ɪˈmjuːn/). Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable for correct stress.
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some may pronounce "immune" with a short "i" sound, like "im-min". The accurate pronunciation uses a long "i" sound, as in "im-MYOON". Tip: Practice saying "you" to master the long vowel sound.
- Adding an extra syllable: A common mistake is pronouncing "immune" as "im-mune". This adds an unnecessary syllable. The correct form is two syllables: "im-MYOON". Tip: Break it down into two distinct parts to avoid confusion.
- Omitting the "m" sound: Some may say "in-yoon" instead of "im-MYOON". This changes the word entirely. The correct pronunciation includes the "m" sound. Tip: Focus on the "m" by saying "im" clearly before moving to "YOON".
- Mispronouncing the ending: Learners sometimes pronounce "immune" as "im-mune" with a hard "n" sound. The correct ending is softer, as in "MYOON". Tip: Listen to native speakers to catch the subtlety in the ending sound.
