Common mistakes of racist pronunciation
- Stress on the wrong syllable: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, pronouncing it as "ra-CIST" instead of "RA-cist" (ˈreɪ.sɪst). Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable.
- Mispronouncing the vowel sound: A common mistake is mispronouncing the "a" in "racist." Instead of "reɪ," some say "ræ" (like in "cat"). Tip: Practice saying "ray" to get the correct vowel sound.
- Overemphasizing the "t": Some may pronounce the "t" too harshly, making it sound like "racist" with a strong "t" sound. Tip: Keep the "t" soft, blending it smoothly with the preceding vowel.
- Ignoring the final "t": Occasionally, speakers may drop the "t" sound, saying "racis" instead of "racist" (ˈreɪ.sɪst). Tip: Ensure you pronounce the final "t" clearly to maintain the word's integrity.
- Confusing with similar words: Learners sometimes confuse "racist" with "racism," leading to incorrect pronunciation. Tip: Focus on the distinct sounds in "racist" to avoid blending it with other related terms.
