Common mistakes of resilient pronunciation
- Stress placement: Some learners mistakenly stress the second syllable, saying "re-'zil-i-ent". The correct stress is on the second syllable: "re-ˈzil-i-ənt" (US) and "rɪ-ˈzɪl-i-ənt" (UK). Tip: Focus on the "zil" part for correct emphasis.
- Vowel sound confusion: A common error is pronouncing the "i" in "resilient" as a long "ee" sound, leading to "re-ˈzeel-i-ent". The correct vowel sound is a short "i": "ɪ". Tip: Practice saying "bit" to get the right sound.
- Incorrect syllable division: Some may say "re-sil-i-ent", adding an extra syllable. The word has four syllables: "re-ˈzil-i-ənt". Tip: Break it down into chunks and practice each part separately to avoid adding syllables.
- Overemphasis on the last syllable: Learners might say "re-ˈzil-i-'ent", stressing the final syllable too much. The last syllable should be lightly stressed. Tip: Keep the final "ənt" softer and less pronounced.
- Mispronouncing the "t": Some may drop the "t" sound entirely, saying "re-ˈzil-i-en". The "t" should be clearly pronounced. Tip: Practice ending with a clear "t" sound, similar to "cat".
