Common mistakes of morale pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many people incorrectly place stress on the second syllable, saying "mo-ˈral" instead of the correct "ˈmorale." Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable for proper pronunciation.
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some may pronounce "morale" with a short "o" sound, as in "moral" /ˈmɔrəl/, instead of the correct long "o" /ˈmorale/. Tip: Practice elongating the "o" sound to achieve accuracy.
- Overemphasizing the final syllable: A common mistake is to stress the final "ale," resulting in "mor-ˈale." The correct pronunciation is "ˈmorale." Tip: Focus on the first syllable to avoid this error.
- Confusing with "moral": People often mix up "morale" with "moral," leading to the wrong pronunciation. "Morale" is pronounced /məˈræl/ in US English, while "moral" is /ˈmɔrəl/. Tip: Distinguish the meanings to help with the correct pronunciation.
- Skipping the second syllable: Some may pronounce "morale" as a single syllable, "moral," which is incorrect. The right pronunciation is two syllables: "mor" and "ale." Tip: Break the word into two parts to ensure both syllables are pronounced.
