Common mistakes of include pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "in-ˈclude". The correct pronunciation is "in-ˈkluːd" in both US and UK English. Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable.
  2. Omitting the vowel sound: It's common to skip the "i" sound, pronouncing it as "nclude". The correct pronunciation includes the "i" as in "in-ˈkluːd". Tip: Practice saying the full syllable to ensure clarity.
  3. Confusing vowel sounds: Some may pronounce "include" with a short "u" sound, like "in-kʊd". The correct sound is a long "u" as in "in-ˈkluːd". Tip: Focus on elongating the "u" sound for accuracy.
  4. Incorrect final sound: Learners might say "includ" without the "e" sound at the end. The correct pronunciation is "in-ˈkluːd". Tip: Always finish with the "d" sound to complete the word.
  5. Blending with adjacent words: In fast speech, "include" may blend into the next word, making it sound unclear. The correct pronunciation should be distinct: "in-ˈkluːd". Tip: Slow down your speech to maintain clarity between words.
