Common mistakes of prophesied pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "pro-ˈphes-ied." The correct stress is on the first syllable: "ˈpro-phes-ied." Tip: Remember to emphasize the "pro" when pronouncing "prophesied."
- Pronouncing the "h": A common mistake is omitting the "h" sound, leading to "pro-ˈfes-ied." The correct pronunciation includes the "h": "pro-ˈphes-ied." Tip: Practice saying "h" clearly to avoid this error.
- Confusing vowel sounds: Some might pronounce the first vowel as in "pot," saying "ˈpro-fes-ied." The correct sound is as in "row": "ˈpro-phes-ied." Tip: Listen to native speakers to hear the difference in vowel sounds.
- Incorrect syllable division: Learners sometimes break it into three syllables, pronouncing it as "pro-phes-ied." The correct division is into four syllables: "ˈpro-phes-ied." Tip: Count the syllables and practice saying them smoothly together.
- Overemphasizing the last syllable: Some may stress the last syllable, saying "prophes-ˈied." The stress should remain on the first syllable: "ˈpro-phes-ied." Tip: Focus on maintaining the primary stress on "pro" throughout your practice.
