Common mistakes of itinerary pronunciation
- Stress misplacement: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying /aɪˈtɪnəˌrɛri/. The correct stress is on the third syllable in both US and UK pronunciations: /aɪˈtɪnəˌrɛri/. Tip: Focus on the "tin" syllable for proper emphasis.
- Vowel confusion: A common mistake is mispronouncing the "i" in the first syllable as /ɪ/ instead of /aɪ/. This leads to saying "itinerary" as /ɪˈtɪnəˌrɛri/. Tip: Remember that the first syllable sounds like "eye."
- Silent "t": Some people tend to drop the "t" sound in the second syllable, pronouncing it as /aɪˈɪnəˌrɛri/. The "t" should be clearly articulated. Tip: Practice saying "tin" to reinforce the "t" sound.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Many learners replace the "a" in the second syllable with /eɪ/, resulting in /aɪˈtɪneˌrɛri/. The correct vowel is /ɪ/. Tip: Use words like "tin" and "net" to practice the correct vowel sound.
- Final syllable stress: Some individuals mistakenly stress the last syllable, saying /aɪˈtɪnəˈrɛri/. The stress should remain on the third syllable. Tip: Emphasize the "na" to ensure correct stress placement.
