Common mistakes of nestle pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly, saying "NEST-le" instead of the correct "NES-təl" (US) or "NES-l" (UK). Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
- Pronouncing the "t": Many people pronounce the "t" clearly, saying "nestle" as "nes-təl." However, in standard pronunciation, the "t" is often softened or not pronounced distinctly. Tip: Focus on blending the "s" and "l" sounds smoothly.
- Overemphasizing the vowels: Some may overly stress the vowels, saying "nes-tay-lay." The correct pronunciation has a more neutral vowel sound, making it "NES-təl" (US) or "NES-l" (UK). Tip: Keep the vowel sounds short and relaxed.
- Ignoring the schwa: Learners often overlook the schwa sound /ə/ in the second syllable, leading to "nestle" sounding too pronounced. The correct form includes a softer sound, "NES-təl." Tip: Practice saying the word slowly to identify the schwa.
- Confusing with "nest": Some might confuse "nestle" with "nest," pronouncing it as "nest" instead of "NES-təl" (US) or "NES-l" (UK). Tip: Remember that "nestle" has an additional syllable, which is essential for correct pronunciation.
