Common mistakes of resolution pronunciation
- Stress placement error: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "re-ˌzo-lu-ˈtion". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "ˌrɛz.əˈluː.ʃən". Tip: Remember to emphasize "lu" for clarity.
- Vowel sound confusion: Some pronounce the "e" in "resolution" as a long "e" sound, saying "ree-". The correct pronunciation has a short "e": "ˌrɛz". Tip: Practice the short "e" sound by comparing it with "bed".
- Syllable omission: A common mistake is dropping the middle syllable, resulting in "res-ˈlu-tion". The word should be pronounced with all syllables: "ˌrɛz.əˈluː.ʃən". Tip: Break the word down into its three syllables when practicing.
- Final "tion" mispronunciation: Some learners pronounce "tion" as "shun", leading to "res-ə-ˈlu-shun". The correct form is "ʃən", as in "ˌrɛz.əˈluː.ʃən". Tip: Focus on the "sh" sound to achieve the correct ending.
- Incorrect vowel length: Mispronouncing the "u" in "resolution" can result in saying "res-ə-ˈlū-tion". The correct pronunciation features a short "u": "ʊ". Tip: Listen for the difference between the short "u" in "put" and the long "u" in "blue".
