Common mistakes of remuneration pronunciation

Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "re-mu-ˈna-tion". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "re-ˌmu-nə-ˈreɪ-ʃən" (US) / "re-ˌmjuː-nə-ˈreɪ-ʃən" (UK). Tip: Focus on emphasizing "ˈreɪ" to get it right.
Vowel sound confusion: Some may pronounce "remuneration" with an "a" sound, like "re-mu-ˈna-tion". The "u" should sound like "yoo" in "you": "re-ˌmu-nə-ˈreɪ-ʃən". Tip: Practice the "u" sound clearly to avoid confusion.
Syllable omission: Learners often drop the second syllable, saying "re-mu-ˈna-tion". This leads to a mispronunciation. The full form is "re-ˌmu-nə-ˈreɪ-ʃən" (US) / "re-ˌmjuː-nə-ˈreɪ-ʃən" (UK). Tip: Count the syllables to ensure you pronounce all parts.
Ending sound mispronunciation: Some may say "remuneration" with a hard "t" sound, like "remunerate-tion". The correct ending is "ʃən", sounding like "shun". Tip: Practice saying "re-ˌmu-nə-ˈreɪ-ʃən" slowly to master the ending.
Misplacing the "n" sound: A common mistake is to pronounce it as "re-mu-ˈner-ation". The "n" should be soft and part of the third syllable: "re-ˌmu-nə-ˈreɪ-ʃən". Tip: Break the word into syllables to keep the "n" sound clear.
