Common mistakes of including pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "in-ˈclud-ing" instead of the correct "ˈin-clud-ing". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, "in".
  2. Overemphasizing the "g": Saying "includinG" with a strong "g" sound can sound unnatural. The correct pronunciation is "includ-ing" with a softer ending. Tip: Focus on a smooth transition between the "d" and "ing".
  3. Omitting the "d" sound: Some might pronounce it as "includ-ing" without clearly articulating the "d". This can lead to misunderstandings. Tip: Ensure you pronounce "d" clearly to maintain clarity in communication.
  4. Confusing vowel sounds: Using a long "e" sound as in "see" can lead to mispronunciation, saying "includ-ing" instead of the correct "includ-ing". Tip: Practice the short "i" sound as in "sit" for accuracy.
  5. Incorrect syllable count: Some may pronounce it as if it has three syllables, saying "in-clud-ing". This is incorrect. Tip: Remember that "including" has only three sounds: "in", "clud", and "ing", making it two syllables.
