Common mistakes of regurgitation pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "re-GUR-gi-ta-tion" instead of the correct "re-gur-gi-ˈTA-tion". Tip: Remember to emphasize the last syllable for proper pronunciation.
Omitting syllables: Some speakers may drop the "g" sound in "regurgitation", pronouncing it as "re-ur-chi-ta-tion". This can lead to confusion. Tip: Ensure you pronounce all syllables clearly, especially the "g".
Confusing vowel sounds: The first vowel may be mispronounced as "e" instead of the correct "ɪ" sound, leading to "re-GUR-jit-a-tion". Tip: Practice the initial syllable as "re-" with a short "i" sound.
Incorrect "t" sound: Some might pronounce the "t" in "regurgitation" as a softer "d" sound, saying "regurgidation". Tip: Make sure to pronounce the "t" clearly and sharply to avoid this mistake.
Overemphasizing the "g": Some learners may overemphasize the "g" in "regurgitation", saying "regur-GI-ta-tion". This is incorrect. Tip: Keep the "g" sound subtle and blend it smoothly into the surrounding syllables.
