Common mistakes of indiscriminately pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable instead of the third. The correct stress is on the third syllable: /ˌɪn.dɪˈskrɪ.mə.nət.li/ (US) and /ˌɪn.dɪˈskrɪ.mə.nət.li/ (UK). Tip: Focus on emphasizing "scrim" when saying "indiscriminately."
- Mispronouncing the "t": Some people may pronounce the "t" in "indiscriminately" too softly or omit it. The "t" should be clearly articulated, as in /ˈt/ in both US and UK pronunciations. Tip: Practice saying "indiscriminately" slowly to ensure you pronounce the "t" clearly.
- Vowel sound confusion: The "i" in the second syllable can be mispronounced as a short "i" instead of the correct schwa sound /ə/. This results in a less accurate pronunciation. Tip: Listen to native speakers to hear the subtle differences in vowel sounds.
- Overemphasis on the first syllable: Some learners place too much emphasis on the first syllable, making it sound unnatural. The primary stress is on the third syllable, not the first. Tip: Practice saying "indiscriminately" while focusing on the rhythm of the word.
- Syllable count error: People may mistakenly think "indiscriminately" has fewer syllables than it does. It has six syllables: in-dis-crim-i-nate-ly /ˌɪn.dɪˈskrɪ.mə.nət.li/. Tip: Break the word down into syllables and practice each one to master the pronunciation.
