Common mistakes of jewelry pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "jew-ˈel-ry." The correct stress is on the first syllable: "ˈdʒuː.əl.ri." Tip: Focus on emphasizing the "jew" sound to get it right.
- Overpronouncing the "e": Some people say "jew-ˈe-lry," adding an unnecessary "e" sound. The right pronunciation is "ˈdʒuː.əl.ri" without an extra vowel. Tip: Practice saying "jewelry" quickly to avoid this mistake.
- Ignoring the "l": A common error is dropping the "l" sound, resulting in "ˈdʒuː.ri." The correct form includes the "l": "ˈdʒuː.əl.ri." Tip: Break the word into syllables to emphasize the "l" sound.
- Confusing "jewelry" with "jewellery": In US English, "jewelry" (ˈdʒuː.əl.ri) is preferred, while UK English uses "jewellery" (ˈdʒuː.ə.lər.i"). Tip: Be aware of the regional differences when speaking or writing.
- Mispronouncing the final syllable: Some pronounce it as "jew-ˈel-ree," which is incorrect. The final syllable should blend smoothly: "ˈdʒuː.əl.ri." Tip: Practice saying the whole word slowly, then speed up for fluency.
