Common mistakes of metoprolol pronunciation
- Stress placement: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "meto-PRO-lol". The correct stress is on the third syllable: /ˌmɛtəˈproʊlɒl/ (US), /ˌmɛtəˈprɒlɒl/ (UK). Tip: Focus on emphasizing "pro" more than the others.
- Vowel confusion: Many mispronounce the first vowel, saying "meto-pro-LOL" instead of the correct "meto-PRO-lol". The first vowel should be a short "e" sound. Tip: Practice saying "met" to get the right sound.
- Syllable omission: Some speakers drop the second syllable, pronouncing it as "metrolol". This changes the word entirely. The correct pronunciation includes all syllables: "meto-PRO-lol". Tip: Break it down into syllables when practicing.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Learners sometimes pronounce the "o" in "lol" as a long "o" sound, saying "metoprol-OH". The correct sound is a short "o": /ˈɒl/. Tip: Listen to native speakers to hear the correct vowel sound.
- Final syllable stress: A common mistake is stressing the last syllable, saying "metoprolol". The stress should be on the third syllable instead. Tip: Remember to keep the emphasis on "pro" to pronounce it correctly.
