Common mistakes of product pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "pro-DUCT" /prəˈdʌkt/. The correct stress is on the first syllable: "PRO-duct" /ˈprɒd.ʌkt/ (UK) or /ˈprɑː.dʌkt/ (US). Tip: Remember to emphasize the first part of the word.
- Overemphasizing the "u": A common mistake is to pronounce the "u" too strongly, making it sound like "pro-duct" with a long "u." The "u" should be a short, relaxed sound /ʌ/. Tip: Focus on a quick, soft "u" sound.
- Ignoring the "t" sound: Some speakers tend to drop the "t" at the end, saying "produc" instead of "product." This results in a loss of clarity. Tip: Ensure you articulate the "t" clearly to maintain the word's integrity.
- Confusing vowel sounds: Learners might mix up the vowel sounds, saying "praduct" with an "a" instead of "product." The correct vowel is /ɒ/ (UK) or /ɑː/ (US). Tip: Practice the vowel sound in isolation to improve pronunciation.
- Incorrect vowel length: Some may pronounce "product" with an elongated vowel sound, like "pro-duct" with a long "o." The first vowel should be short. Tip: Keep the first vowel brief and crisp to achieve the correct pronunciation.
