Common mistakes of reunion pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "re-ˈunion". The correct stress is on the last syllable: "re-ˌjuː-ˈnɪən". Tip: Remember to emphasize the "nion" part for clarity.
- Omitting the "u" sound: Some people pronounce "reunion" as "re-ˈnion", dropping the "u" sound. This can confuse listeners. Tip: Ensure you clearly articulate the "u" as in "juː" to maintain the word's integrity.
- Pronouncing it too quickly: A common mistake is rushing through "reunion", leading to unclear pronunciation. This may result in "re-ˈnion". Tip: Take your time, especially on the "juː" and "n" sounds, to enhance clarity.
- Confusing vowel sounds: Some might pronounce the "u" as a short vowel, saying "re-ˈnɪən". The correct pronunciation uses a long "u" sound: "juː". Tip: Practice saying "you" to get comfortable with the long vowel sound.
- Ignoring the "n" sound: Some learners may drop the "n" sound, resulting in "re-ˈiu" or "re-ˈyun". This alters the meaning. Tip: Focus on pronouncing the "n" clearly to avoid misunderstandings.
