Common mistakes of juxtapose pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly place stress on the second syllable, saying "juxtaˈpose". The correct pronunciation is "ˈjʌkstəˌpoʊz" (US) and "ˈdʒʌkstəˌpəʊz" (UK). Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some may pronounce the first syllable as "juxta" with a long "u" sound, as in "juice". The correct sound is "ʌ" as in "cup". Tip: Focus on producing the short "u" sound.
- Overemphasizing the "x": Learners sometimes pronounce the "x" too strongly, making it sound like "juxta-POSE". The "x" should be softer and part of the first syllable. Tip: Blend the "x" smoothly into "juxta".
- Missing the final "e": Some speakers may drop the final "e," pronouncing it as "juxtapoz". The correct form includes the final "e," which affects the pronunciation. Tip: Always include the final "e" to maintain the word's integrity.
- Confusing it with similar words: People often confuse "juxtapose" with "juxtaposition," leading to mispronunciation. While "juxtapose" is "ˈjʌkstəˌpoʊz", "juxtaposition" is "ˌjʌkstəpəˈzɪʃən". Tip: Practice each word separately to avoid confusion.
