Common mistakes of resilience pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners may place the stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "re-ˈzil-ience" instead of "rɪ-ˈzɪl-ɪns" (US) or "rɪ-ˈzɪl-ɪəns" (UK). Tip: Always emphasize the "zil" syllable.
- Omitting the "i" sound: A common error is to pronounce "resilience" as "re-ˈzel-ence," dropping the "i" sound. This leads to an unclear pronunciation. Tip: Ensure to include the "i" in the second syllable for clarity.
- Confusing the vowel sounds: Some may mispronounce the vowel in the first syllable, saying "ree-" instead of "rɪ-." This alters the word's meaning and sound. Tip: Use the short "i" sound as in "sit."
- Incorrectly pronouncing the final "ce": Learners might say "resilence" by dropping the "i" and "n." This can confuse listeners. Tip: Remember to articulate the "i" and "n" clearly before the "ce."
- Overemphasizing the final syllable: Some might stress the last syllable too much, saying "resilien-CE" instead of "resilience." This can sound unnatural. Tip: Focus on a balanced stress pattern, keeping the final syllable less emphasized.
