Common mistakes of peruse pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "per-ˈuse" instead of the correct "ˈper-use". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, "per".
- Confusing vowel sounds: Some might pronounce "peruse" as "pə-ˈruz", using a schwa sound in the first syllable. Tip: Ensure you use the clear "pər" sound, not a reduced vowel, to maintain clarity.
- Overemphasizing the "r": A common mistake is to overly roll the "r" in "peruse", leading to a pronunciation like "pə-ˈruz" that sounds unnatural. Tip: Keep the "r" soft and smooth without excessive emphasis.
- Incorrectly blending syllables: Some may slur the syllables together, saying "peruz" instead of "per-use". Tip: Pronounce each syllable distinctly to avoid losing the word's clarity.
- Using the wrong vowel in the second syllable: Pronouncing "peruse" as "pə-ˈjuːz" introduces an incorrect vowel sound. Tip: Make sure the second syllable sounds like "use" with a long "u" sound, not "ju".
