Common mistakes of message pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sound: Many learners pronounce "message" with a long "e" sound, like "meesage" /ˈmiːsɪdʒ/. Tip: Focus on the short "e" sound /ˈmɛsɪdʒ/ in both US and UK pronunciations.
- Misplacing stress: Some people stress the second syllable, saying "mes-sage" /ˌmɛsˈeɪdʒ/. Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable: "mes-sage" /ˈmɛsɪdʒ/.
- Overemphasizing the "g": Learners sometimes pronounce the "g" in "message" too strongly, making it sound like "mess-age" /ˈmɛs.ɪdʒ/. Tip: The "g" should be soft and blend smoothly into the "e" sound.
- Skipping the vowel sound: Some speakers omit the vowel in the second syllable, saying "mess" /mɛs/. Tip: Always include the second syllable: "message" /ˈmɛsɪdʒ/ to maintain clarity.
- Confusing with similar words: Learners may confuse "message" with "mess" /mɛs/ or "mash" /mæʃ/. Tip: Pay attention to the context and the syllable structure to differentiate these words effectively.
