Common mistakes of integral pronunciation
- Stress misplacement: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "in-TE-gral" /ɪnˈtɛɡrəl/ instead of the correct "IN-te-gral" /ˈɪn.tɪ.ɡrəl/. Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
- Vowel confusion: The vowel sound in the first syllable can be tricky. Some may pronounce it as "in" /ɪn/ instead of the correct "IN" /ˈɪn/. Tip: Focus on making the first syllable strong and clear.
- Incorrect endings: Some speakers might drop the final "l" sound, pronouncing it as "in-te-gruh" instead of "in-te-gral" /ˈɪn.tɪ.ɡrəl/. Tip: Ensure you articulate the "l" at the end to maintain clarity.
- Overemphasis on syllables: A common mistake is overemphasizing the middle syllable, leading to an unnatural pronunciation like "in-te-GRAL". Tip: Maintain a balanced stress pattern, with the first syllable being the most prominent.
- Regional variations: In some regions, "integral" may be pronounced as "IN-te-gruhl" /ˈɪn.tɪ.ɡrəl/ in US English. Tip: Be aware of these variations, but stick to the standard pronunciation for clarity.
