Common mistakes of monitoring pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the wrong syllable, saying "mon-ˈi-tor-ing" instead of the correct "ˈmɒn.ɪ.tər.ɪŋ" (UK) or "ˈmɑː.nɪ.tər.ɪŋ" (US). Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable.
- Overpronouncing vowels: "monitoring" can be mispronounced with overly long vowels, leading to "mon-i-ˈtōr-ing." This is incorrect as the vowels should be short. Tip: Keep the vowels quick and clear.
- Dropping syllables: Some might say "mon-itor-ing," omitting the "t" sound. This can confuse listeners. Tip: Ensure you pronounce all syllables distinctly, especially the "t" in "monitoring."
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Saying "monitoring" with a long "o" sound as in "moan" is a common mistake. The correct pronunciation uses a short "o" sound. Tip: Focus on the "ɒ" (UK) or "ɑ" (US) sound for correctness.
- Ignoring the "ing" ending: Some learners pronounce "monitoring" as "monitor," neglecting the "ing" ending. This changes the meaning. Tip: Always include the "ing" sound, pronounced as "ɪŋ," to complete the word.
