Common mistakes of revocation pronunciation

Stress placement: Many learners mistakenly stress the second syllable, pronouncing it as "ˌrevəˈkeɪʃən". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "ˌrevəˈkeɪʃən" (US) / "ˌrevəˈkeɪʃən" (UK). Tip: Focus on emphasizing the "keɪ" sound.
Vowel confusion: Some people mispronounce the initial vowel sound, saying "rɛvocation" instead of "revocation" with the correct first syllable "ˈrɛv". Tip: Practice saying "rev" as in "rev" up the engine to get it right.
Missing the schwa: Learners often skip the schwa sound in the second syllable, incorrectly pronouncing it as "revokation". The correct pronunciation includes a schwa: "ˌrevəˈkeɪʃən". Tip: Remember that the schwa "ə" sounds like a relaxed "uh".
Overemphasizing the final syllable: Some tend to stress the last syllable too much, saying "revocation" as "revocˈation". The stress should remain on the third syllable: "ˌrevəˈkeɪʃən". Tip: Keep the final syllable light and quick.
Mispronouncing the "c" sound: A common mistake is pronouncing the "c" as a hard "k" sound, saying "revokation". The correct pronunciation uses a soft "c" sound: "ˌrevəˈkeɪʃən". Tip: Think of the soft "c" as in "cell" to help with this sound.
