Common mistakes of remaining pronunciation
- Vowel sound confusion: Some learners mispronounce the first vowel, saying "re-may-ning" instead of "re-main-ing" /rɪˈmeɪ.nɪŋ/ (US) or /rɪˈmeɪ.nɪŋ/ (UK). Tip: Focus on the short "e" sound in "re" and ensure it's not elongated.
- Stress placement error: A common mistake is stressing the first syllable, saying "RE-main-ing" instead of the correct "re-MAIN-ing" /rɪˈmeɪ.nɪŋ/. Tip: Remember that the primary stress falls on the second syllable "MAIN."
- Dropping the final syllable: Some speakers omit the final "-ing" sound, saying "remain" instead of "remaining" /rɪˈmeɪ.nɪŋ/. Tip: Practice the "-ing" ending to ensure it is clearly pronounced.
- Mispronouncing the "n": Learners may pronounce the "n" in the second syllable too softly, making it sound like "re-may-ing." Tip: Emphasize the "n" in "main" to maintain clarity in pronunciation.
- Incorrect vowel length: Some may pronounce "remaining" with an overly long "a," as in "re-may-ning." This can confuse listeners. Tip: Use a short "a" sound in "main" to keep the pronunciation accurate.
