Common mistakes of isosceles pronunciation
- Incorrect stress placement: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, saying "isosceles" as /aɪˈsɒs.ə.liz/. The correct stress is on the third syllable: /aɪˈsɒs.ə.liːz/. Tip: Focus on emphasizing the "sos" part.
- Mispronouncing the vowel sounds: Many people pronounce "isosceles" with a short "i" sound, saying /ɪˈsɒs.ə.liz/. However, it should have a long "i" sound: /aɪˈsɒs.ə.liːz/. Tip: Practice saying "eye" to get the right vowel sound.
- Overlooking the final syllable: Some learners drop the last syllable, pronouncing it as "isoscel" /aɪˈsɒs.əl/. The full pronunciation includes the final "lees" sound: /aɪˈsɒs.ə.liːz/. Tip: Always articulate the last syllable clearly.
- Confusing the "c" sound: A common mistake is pronouncing the "c" as a hard "k" sound, saying /aɪˈkɒs.ə.liːz/. The correct sound is a soft "s": /aɪˈsɒs.ə.liːz/. Tip: Remember that "c" in this word is pronounced like "s."
- Ignoring the syllable count: Some learners may pronounce "isosceles" as a three-syllable word, saying /aɪˈsɒs.ə.liz/. It actually has four syllables: /aɪˈsɒs.ə.liːz/. Tip: Break it down into its four parts to practice.
