Common mistakes of jaundice pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "jaund-ˈis". Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable: "ˈjaund" in both US and UK pronunciations.
- Overemphasizing the "j": Some learners pronounce "jaundice" with an exaggerated "j" sound, making it sound like "jaund-iss". Tip: Keep the "j" soft and smooth, as in "ˈjaundɪs".
- Ignoring the "d" sound: A common mistake is dropping the "d" in the middle, resulting in "jau-nis". Tip: Make sure to pronounce the "d" clearly: "ˈjaundɪs".
- Mispronouncing the vowel sounds: Some may say "jawn-diss" with a long "a" sound. Tip: Use the short "au" as in "how": "ˈjaundɪs".
- Confusing "jaundice" with similar words: Learners sometimes mix it up with "audience" or "fondness". Tip: Focus on the unique "jau" sound at the beginning to differentiate: "ˈjaundɪs".
