Common mistakes of info pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "in-FOH" /ɪnˈfoʊ/ instead of the correct "INFO" /ˈɪn.foʊ/. Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable for proper pronunciation.
  2. Omitting the vowel sound: Some speakers drop the second syllable, pronouncing "info" as "in'fo" /ˈɪn.foʊ/. Tip: Ensure to pronounce both syllables clearly, maintaining the "o" sound at the end.
  3. Confusing vowel sounds: Learners might pronounce "info" with a short "i" sound, saying "info" as "in-fuh" /ˈɪn.fə/. Tip: Use the long "i" sound /ɪ/ as in "in" to avoid confusion.
  4. Incorrect regional pronunciation: In the UK, "info" is often pronounced /ˈɪn.fəʊ/, while in the US, it is /ˈɪn.foʊ/. Tip: Be aware of these differences and practice the variant that suits your audience.
  5. Overemphasizing the "n": Some may pronounce "info" with an exaggerated "n" sound, saying "inn-fo" /ˈɪn.nəʊ/. Tip: Keep the "n" sound subtle and smooth, focusing on the syllable break instead.
