Common mistakes of practise pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "practise" as /ˈpræk.tɪs/ instead of /ˈpræk.taɪs/. Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable, making it "practise" sound more natural.
- Confusing US and UK pronunciation: In the UK, "practise" is a verb pronounced /ˈpræk.tɪs/, while in the US, the verb form is "practice" pronounced /ˈpræk.tɪs/. Tip: Be aware of the regional differences to avoid confusion.
- Overemphasizing the vowel sound: Some speakers might overly stress the "a" in "practise," leading to a drawn-out vowel sound that sounds unnatural. Tip: Keep the vowel short and crisp, as in /æ/.
- Ignoring the final sound: Learners sometimes drop the final "s" sound, pronouncing "practise" as /ˈpræk.tɪ/. This makes the word unclear. Tip: Always pronounce the final "s" clearly to maintain the word's integrity.
- Mixing up "practice" and "practise": In British English, "practice" is the noun form, while "practise" is the verb. Saying "practice" when you mean "practise" can lead to confusion. Tip: Remember the spelling difference to use them correctly.
