Common mistakes of introduce pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "in-trə-ˈdjuːs" instead of the correct "ˈɪn.trə.djuːs". Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable to pronounce "introduce" correctly.
Overlooking the vowel sound: Some pronounce "introduce" with a short "i" sound, saying "in-trə-dus". The correct pronunciation is "ˈɪn.trə.djuːs" with a long "u" sound. Tip: Focus on elongating the "u" to achieve the right sound.
Ignoring the "t" sound: A common mistake is to drop the "t" sound, leading to "in-roo-dus". The accurate pronunciation is "ˈɪn.trə.djuːs". Tip: Make sure to clearly articulate the "t" to avoid confusion.
Mispronouncing the ending: Some learners say "introduse" instead of "introduce". The correct form is "ˈɪn.trə.djuːs". Tip: Practice the full word to ensure you include the "ce" sound at the end.
Confusing it with similar words: Learners may confuse "introduce" with "introducing". The correct pronunciation of "introduce" is "ˈɪn.trə.djuːs", while "introducing" is "ˌɪn.trəˈdjuː.sɪŋ". Tip: Pay attention to the context and syllable stress to differentiate between them.
