Common mistakes of nutrition pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners put stress on the second syllable, saying "nu-ˈtri-tion". This is incorrect in both US and UK English, where the stress is on the first syllable, "ˈnuː.trɪ.ʃən". Tip: Always emphasize the first syllable "nu" when saying "nutrition".
- Incorrect vowel sounds: The first vowel sound may be pronounced too short, as in "nɪˈtri-tion". The correct pronunciation is "nuˈtrɪ" with a longer "u" sound. Tip: Practice elongating the "u" sound in "nutrition" to sound more natural.
- Omitting the "t" sound: Some speakers may drop the "t" sound, saying "nuˈri-tion". This results in a less clear pronunciation. Tip: Make sure to clearly pronounce the "t" in "nutrition" to ensure clarity.
- Confusing the "sh" sound: A common mistake is pronouncing "nutrition" with a hard "s" sound, like "nuˈtris-tion". The correct sound is "ʃ" as in "sh". Tip: Focus on the "sh" sound in "nutrition" to avoid confusion.
- Mispronouncing the final syllable: Some may say "nuˈtri-tion" with a weak final syllable. The correct pronunciation emphasizes the last syllable as "ʃən". Tip: Practice saying "nutrition" with a clear and distinct ending to improve your pronunciation.
