Common mistakes of judicial pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "ju-ˈdi-shəl" instead of the correct "ˈju-dɪ-ʃəl". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
  2. Overemphasizing "j": A common mistake is to pronounce "j" too harshly, sounding like "dʒ" instead of a softer "j" sound. Tip: Practice saying "judge" to get comfortable with the softer "j" in "judicial".
  3. Shortening the vowels: Some may pronounce "judicial" with shortened vowels, leading to "ju-ˈdɪ-ʃəl". The correct pronunciation is "ˈju-dɪ-ʃəl", with clear vowel sounds. Tip: Focus on elongating the vowel sounds in each syllable.
  4. Ignoring the "i" sound: Learners might skip the "i" sound in the second syllable, saying "ju-dɪ-shəl" instead of "ju-ˈdɪ-ʃəl". Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "i" clearly to maintain the correct syllable structure.
  5. Incorrectly pronouncing the final "al": Some may pronounce the ending as "əl" instead of the correct "əl". Tip: Make sure to articulate the final syllable clearly as "ʃəl" to avoid confusion.
