Common mistakes of judgment pronunciation
- Silent "e" confusion: Many learners mistakenly pronounce the "e" in "judgment" as a separate syllable, resulting in "judg-ment." The correct pronunciation is /ˈdʒʌdʒ.mənt/ in both US and UK English. Tip: Remember that "judgment" has only two syllables.
- Misplaced stress: Some people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "judg-MENT." The correct stress is on the first syllable: /ˈdʒʌdʒ.mənt/. Tip: Practice saying "JUDG-ment" to emphasize the right syllable.
- Adding an extra vowel sound: A common mistake is pronouncing "judgment" with an additional vowel sound, like "judg-e-ment." The correct pronunciation is /ˈdʒʌdʒ.mənt/. Tip: Focus on blending the sounds smoothly without adding extra vowels.
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some learners use a long "u" sound, pronouncing it as "joodgment." The correct sound is a short "u," as in /ˈdʒʌdʒ.mənt/. Tip: Practice the "u" sound by saying "cup" to get comfortable with the short vowel.
- Overemphasizing "t": A few speakers tend to overly stress the "t" in "judgment," making it sound like "judgmentt." The correct pronunciation is /ˈdʒʌdʒ.mənt/, with a soft "t." Tip: Keep the "t" light and quick to avoid sounding unnatural.
