Common mistakes of isaiah pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Many learners incorrectly place stress on the second syllable, pronouncing it as "Is-ˈaiah". Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable: "ˈaɪ.z.eɪ.ə".
  2. Overemphasizing the "i": Some pronounce "Isaiah" with a strong "I" sound, like "ˈI-sah-iah". Tip: Focus on the "ˈaɪ" sound instead of a long "I".
