Common mistakes of isolde pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Many pronounce "isolde" with the stress on the second syllable, saying /aɪˈzoʊld/. This is incorrect. The correct stress is on the first syllable: /ˈaɪ.soʊld/. Tip: Always emphasize the first syllable to ensure clarity.
Incorrect vowel sounds: Some learners may pronounce "isolde" with an incorrect vowel sound, saying /ˈɪ.soʊld/. The correct pronunciation uses the diphthong /aɪ/ in the first syllable. Tip: Practice saying "eye" to help with the initial sound.
