Common mistakes of molecular pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many people incorrectly stress the first syllable, saying "MO-lecular" instead of the correct "mo-LEC-ular". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the second syllable, as indicated by the IPA /məˈlɛk.jʊ.lər/ (US) and /məˈlɛk.jʊ.lə/ (UK).
- Vowel sound confusion: Some may pronounce the second syllable as "lec" with a short "e" sound, saying "molec-ular". Tip: Focus on the "lec" sounding like "leck" with a clear "ɛ" as in "let" to ensure clarity.
- Syllable omission: A common mistake is to drop the last syllable, saying "molec-ular" instead of "molecular". Tip: Practice enunciating all four syllables: "mo-LEC-u-lar" to avoid skipping any part.
- Incorrect vowel in the last syllable: Some pronounce the last syllable as "lar" with a long "a" sound, saying "molec-u-lar". Tip: Use the short "u" sound, as in "cup", to pronounce it correctly as "lɚ" in American English.
- Overemphasizing consonants: People sometimes stress the "c" in "molecular", saying "mo-LEC-ular" too harshly. Tip: Maintain a softer "c" sound; it should blend smoothly with the preceding vowel to sound natural.
