Common mistakes of morphology pronunciation

Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "mor-ˈPHO-logy". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "mor-fo-ˈLO-gy". Tip: Remember to emphasize the "LO" when pronouncing "morphology".
Vowel sounds: Some may pronounce "o" as in "hot" instead of the correct "o" as in "more" (UK: /mɔː/, US: /mɔr/). Tip: Focus on making the "o" sound longer and rounder.
Syllable separation: A common mistake is merging syllables, leading to "mor-fol-ogy". The correct pronunciation separates them clearly: "mor-fo-ˈLO-gy". Tip: Practice saying each syllable distinctly to improve clarity.
Final "gy" sound: Learners often pronounce "gy" as "jee", resulting in "mor-fo-ˈJEE". The correct sound is a softer "gee" as in "giraffe" (UK: /dʒi/, US: /dʒi/). Tip: Keep the "gy" light and smooth, not overly emphasized.
Overemphasizing consonants: Some speakers may overly stress the "r" in "morphology", making it sound harsh. The correct pronunciation is smoother, with a softer "r" sound. Tip: Relax your tongue when pronouncing the "r" to maintain fluidity.
