Common mistakes of matured pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some learners pronounce "matured" with an incorrect vowel sound, saying /məˈtʃʊrd/ instead of the correct /məˈtʃʊəd/ (UK) or /məˈtʃʊrd/ (US). Tip: Focus on the "u" sound, which should be pronounced like "you" in "few."
- Stress misplacement: A common mistake is misplacing the stress on the first syllable, saying "MAtured" instead of "maTURED." The correct stress is on the second syllable. Tip: Remember that the stress falls on "TURED" to sound natural.
- Overemphasis on "d": Some speakers overly emphasize the "d" at the end, making it sound like "maturedd." The correct pronunciation ends with a soft "d." Tip: Practice saying "mature" followed by "d" quickly to blend the sounds.
- Confusing with "mature": Learners may confuse "matured" with "mature," pronouncing them the same. "Matured" has a distinct past tense sound. Tip: Remember that "matured" implies completion, while "mature" describes a state.
- Dropping the second syllable: Some may drop the second syllable, pronouncing it as "ma-tured." This is incorrect as "matured" has two syllables. Tip: Break it down into "ma" and "tured" to practice the full pronunciation.
