Common mistakes of lesions pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sound: Many learners pronounce "lesions" with an incorrect vowel sound, saying /ˈliːʒənz/ instead of /ˈliːʒənz/ in US English and /ˈliːʒ(ə)nz/ in UK English. Tip: Focus on the "e" sounding like "ee" in "see."
- Misplaced stress: Some speakers may mistakenly place stress on the second syllable, saying "le-SIONS" instead of "LE-sions." Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable "LE."
- Overemphasizing the "s": Learners often overemphasize the "s" sound, pronouncing it as /ˈleɪʒənz/. Tip: Ensure the "s" is soft and blends smoothly with the preceding vowel sound.
- Dropping the final "s": Some may drop the final "s," saying "lesion" instead of "lesions." Tip: Make sure to articulate the final "s" clearly to indicate the plural form.
- Confusing with similar words: "Lesions" can be confused with "legions," leading to mispronunciation. Tip: Pay attention to the initial sounds; "lesions" starts with "l" as in "let," while "legions" starts with "l" as in "leap."
