Common mistakes of information pronunciation
- Stress misplacement: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "in-for-ˈma-tion" instead of the correct "ˌin-fər-ˈmeɪ-ʃən". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the last syllable.
- Vowel confusion: The first vowel sound may be pronounced too strongly, leading to "ˈin-form-a-tion" instead of "ˌin-fər-ˈmeɪ-ʃən". Tip: Focus on the schwa sound "ə" in the second syllable to soften it.
- Missing the "r" sound: Some pronounce it as "in-fə-ˈmeɪ-tion", dropping the "r". This is especially common in non-native speakers. Tip: Ensure to pronounce the "r" clearly in "fər".
- Incorrect ending: A common mistake is to say "in-for-ˈma-tion" with a long "a" sound. The correct pronunciation is "ˌin-fər-ˈmeɪ-ʃən". Tip: Pay attention to the "eɪ" diphthong in the third syllable.
- Overemphasis on syllables: Some learners may stress every syllable equally, resulting in "in-for-ma-tion". The correct stress pattern is "ˌin-fər-ˈmeɪ-ʃən". Tip: Practice saying it with a focus on the primary stress in the last syllable.
