Common mistakes of resurrection pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "res-ˌur-'rection". The correct stress is on the last syllable: "ˌrɛz.əˈrɛk.ʃən". Tip: Focus on the last syllable to emphasize it properly.
- Vowel sounds: Some mispronounce the first vowel, saying "res-'urrection" instead of "ˌrɛz.əˈrɛk.ʃən". The first vowel should sound like "e" in "bed". Tip: Practice the "ɛ" sound to distinguish it from "e".
- Missing syllables: A common mistake is to say "resurrection" with only three syllables, like "res-'rek-shun". The word actually has four syllables. Tip: Break it down slowly: "ˌrɛz.əˈrɛk.ʃən".
- Consonant clarity: Some speakers may drop the "r" sound in "resurrection", saying "es-'urrection". The "r" is essential for clarity. Tip: Emphasize the "r" by practicing with words that begin with "r".
- Final "tion" sound: People often mispronounce the ending, saying "resurrection" with a hard "t" sound, like "resurrec-'tion". The correct pronunciation features a softer "ʃən". Tip: Focus on the "ʃ" sound to pronounce it correctly.
