Common mistakes of moisture pronunciation
- Dropping the "t": Many speakers omit the "t" sound in "moisture," pronouncing it as "moy-sure" instead of the correct "ˈmɔɪs.tʃər" (US) or "ˈmɔɪs.tʃə" (UK). Tip: Always pronounce the "t" clearly to maintain the word's integrity.
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners incorrectly place stress on the second syllable, saying "mois-ˈture." The correct stress is on the first syllable: "ˈmɔɪs.tʃər" (US) or "ˈmɔɪs.tʃə" (UK). Tip: Focus on emphasizing the first part of the word.
- Confusing vowel sounds: The vowel sound in the first syllable is often mispronounced. Instead of "moys," it should be pronounced as "mɔɪ" (like in "boy"). Tip: Practice saying "moist" to get the correct vowel sound before adding "ture."
- Blending syllables: Some may blend the syllables too much, saying "mois-chur." The correct pronunciation separates the syllables: "ˈmɔɪs.tʃər" (US) or "ˈmɔɪs.tʃə" (UK). Tip: Break the word into two distinct parts when practicing.
- Overemphasizing the "r": In "moisture," some speakers overemphasize the "r" sound, making it sound unnatural. The correct pronunciation has a softer "r" at the end: "ˈmɔɪs.tʃər" (US) or "ˈmɔɪs.tʃə" (UK). Tip: Listen to native speakers to hear the subtlety in the "r" sound.
