Common mistakes of research pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place the stress on the second syllable, saying "re-SEARCH" instead of the correct "RE-search" (ˈriːsɜːrtʃ in US, ˈriːsɜːtʃ in UK). Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some pronounce the first syllable as "ree" instead of the correct "ree" (ˈriː) in both US and UK. Tip: Practice the long "e" sound in "research" to ensure clarity.
- Skipping the final "ch": A common mistake is dropping the "ch" sound at the end, resulting in "re-search" instead of "research" (ˈriːsɜːrtʃ in US, ˈriːsɜːtʃ in UK). Tip: Always articulate the "ch" to complete the word properly.
- Adding an extra syllable: Some learners may say "re-searching" with three syllables instead of the correct two in "researching" (rɪˈsɜːrtʃɪŋ in US, rɪˈsɜːtʃɪŋ in UK). Tip: Focus on blending the sounds smoothly to maintain two syllables.
- Mispronouncing the "r": Non-native speakers sometimes pronounce the "r" too softly or as a vowel, leading to confusion. Tip: Practice the "r" sound by placing your tongue close to the roof of your mouth without touching it.
