Common mistakes of resignation pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "resigˈnation". This is incorrect. The primary stress is on the third syllable, "ˌrezɪgˈneɪʃən". Tip: Focus on emphasizing "neɪ" when pronouncing "resignation".
- Incorrect vowel sounds: A common mistake is pronouncing the "i" in "resignation" as "ɪ" instead of "ɪ". The correct pronunciation is "ˌrezɪgˈneɪʃən". Tip: Practice the "neɪ" sound to ensure clarity.
- Omitting syllables: Some may pronounce "resignation" as "rezɪˈneɪʃən", dropping the first syllable. This alters the word's structure. Tip: Always include the "res" sound at the beginning for correct pronunciation.
- Confusing similar words: Learners might confuse "resignation" with "resign" or "resigned", leading to mispronunciation. "Resignation" is pronounced "ˌrezɪgˈneɪʃən". Tip: Remember that "resignation" has an additional syllable compared to "resign".
- Mispronouncing the ending: Some pronounce the ending as "ʃən" instead of "ʃən". The correct form is "ˌrezɪgˈneɪʃən". Tip: Pay attention to the "ʃən" to avoid sounding unnatural.
