Common mistakes of reprise pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "re-ˈprize". The correct stress is on the second syllable for both US and UK: "rəˈpriːz". Tip: Remember to emphasize "pri" to pronounce it correctly.
  2. Vowel confusion: A common mistake is pronouncing the first syllable as "ree" instead of "rə". The correct pronunciation is "rəˈpriːz" in both US and UK. Tip: Practice saying "ruh" to get the right vowel sound.
  3. Omitting the final "z" sound: Some may drop the "z" at the end, saying "reprise" as "re-prees". The final sound should be pronounced clearly as "z". Tip: Focus on the "z" to ensure clarity in your speech.
  4. Incorrect vowel length: Learners sometimes shorten the "i" sound, mispronouncing it as "re-prees". The correct pronunciation has a long "i" sound: "rəˈpriːz". Tip: Lengthen the "i" sound to match the correct pronunciation.
  5. Confusing with "reprise" as a noun: The word can be mispronounced when used as a noun, often said as "ˈreprize". However, when used in a musical context, it should be pronounced "rəˈpriːz". Tip: Be mindful of context to use the correct pronunciation.
