Common mistakes of rehabilitation pronunciation
- Incorrect stress placement: Many learners place stress on the second syllable, saying "rehabilitation" as /ˌrɛhəˌbɪlɪˈteɪʃən/. The correct stress is on the fourth syllable: /ˌriːhəˌbɪlɪˈteɪʃən/. Tip: Focus on emphasizing "te" in "rehabilitation".
- Mispronouncing the first syllable: Some people pronounce "rehabilitation" as /ˌrɛhəˌbɪlɪˈteɪʃən/, using an "e" sound instead of the correct "ree" sound /ˌriːhəˌbɪlɪˈteɪʃən/. Tip: Practice saying "ree" clearly at the beginning.
- Overlooking the "h": It's common to drop the "h" sound, resulting in "rehabilitation" sounding like /ˌriːəˌbɪlɪˈteɪʃən/. The "h" should be pronounced distinctly. Tip: Ensure you pronounce "h" as in "hat".
- Blending the syllables: Some learners may blend syllables together, making "rehabilitation" sound rushed and unclear, such as /ˌriːhəˈbɪlɪˌteɪʃən/. Each syllable should be articulated clearly. Tip: Slow down and separate each syllable: "re-ha-bi-li-ta-tion".
- Mispronouncing the "t" sound: A few might pronounce the "t" in "rehabilitation" softly, leading to /ˌriːhəˌbɪlɪˈdeɪʃən/. The "t" should be pronounced clearly. Tip: Emphasize the "t" as in "top" to ensure clarity.
