Common mistakes of pariah pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "pa-ˈriah". The correct stress is on the second syllable: "pə-ˈraɪ.ə" in US and "pə-ˈraɪ.ə" in UK. Tip: Remember to emphasize "ra" when pronouncing "pariah".
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some might pronounce the first syllable as "pa" instead of "pə". The correct pronunciation is "pə-ˈraɪ.ə". Tip: Practice saying "puh" to get the first syllable right.
- Overemphasizing the 'h': Learners often pronounce "pariah" with a strong "h" sound, resulting in "par-ˈhiah". The correct pronunciation has a softer sound, as in "pə-ˈraɪ.ə". Tip: Focus on a smooth transition between syllables without emphasizing "h".
- Omitting the second syllable: Some may pronounce "pariah" as "ˈpar". This omits the crucial second syllable. The full pronunciation is "pə-ˈraɪ.ə". Tip: Practice saying the entire word slowly to ensure you include both syllables.
- Confusing with similar words: Learners sometimes mix "pariah" with "pariah dog" or "pariah state", leading to incorrect pronunciations. The correct form remains "pə-ˈraɪ.ə". Tip: Familiarize yourself with the meaning and context of "pariah" to avoid confusion.
