Common mistakes of injustice pronunciation
- Common vowel confusion: Many learners mispronounce "injustice" by confusing the vowel sounds. In the US, it's /ɪnˈdʒʌs.tɪs/ while in the UK, it's /ɪnˈdʒʌs.tɪs/. Tip: Focus on the short "i" sound in the first syllable.
- Stress misplacement: Some people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "in-'justice." The correct stress is on the second syllable: "in-ˈjustice." Tip: Practice saying "justice" to reinforce the correct stress pattern.
- Silent letters: Learners often pronounce the "t" in "injustice," leading to "in-'jus-tice." The "t" is silent. Tip: Remember that "injustice" ends with the sound "s."
- Overemphasis on consonants: Some may overemphasize the "j" sound, making it sound heavy, like "in-'juh-stice." The correct pronunciation is smoother: "in-ˈdʒus.tɪs." Tip: Practice saying "juice" to get comfortable with the "j" sound.
- Incorrect syllable count: A common mistake is treating "injustice" as having three syllables, like "in-'jus-tice." It actually has only two syllables: "in-ˈjus.tɪs." Tip: Break it down into its two syllables to avoid confusion.
