Common mistakes of notice pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, pronouncing it as "no-TICE" /ˈnoʊ.tɪs/ (US) or /ˈnəʊ.tɪs/ (UK). Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable: "NO-tice".
  2. Confusing vowel sounds: A common mistake is mispronouncing the vowel in the first syllable, saying "na-tice" instead of "no-tice". This changes the sound to /ˈnɑː.tɪs/ (US) or /ˈnɑː.tɪs/ (UK). Tip: Focus on the "o" sound, as in "go".
  3. Missing the final "ce": Some may drop the "ce" at the end, saying "notis" /ˈnoʊ.tɪs/ (US) or /ˈnəʊ.tɪs/ (UK). This alters the word completely. Tip: Always pronounce the "ce" as /s/.
  4. Overemphasizing the "t": Learners might overly stress the "t" sound, leading to an exaggerated "t" in "notice" /ˈnoʊ.tɪs/ (US) or /ˈnəʊ.tɪs/ (UK). Tip: Keep the "t" clear but not overly pronounced.
  5. Ignoring the schwa: Some may mispronounce the second syllable, treating it as a full vowel instead of a schwa sound, saying "no-tiss". This results in /ˈnoʊ.tɪs/ (US) or /ˈnəʊ.tɪs/ (UK). Tip: Use a soft "i" sound like in "sofa".
