Common mistakes of robust pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ro-BUST" instead of "RO-bust". Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable, pronounced as /ˈroʊ.bʌst/ in US English and /rəʊˈbʌst/ in UK English.
- Vowel confusion: A common mistake is pronouncing the first vowel too short, saying "rabust". Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "o" as a long vowel sound, /oʊ/ in US and /əʊ/ in UK, to accurately say "robust".
- Dropping the "t": Some may say "robus" by omitting the final "t". Tip: Always articulate the "t" clearly at the end, as in /ˈroʊ.bʌst/ (US) and /rəʊˈbʌst/ (UK) to avoid confusion.
- Incorrect vowel in the second syllable: Some learners pronounce the second syllable as "bist" instead of "bʌst". Tip: Focus on the "u" sound, which should be pronounced as /ʌ/, to say "robust" correctly.
- Overemphasizing the "u": Some people exaggerate the "u" sound, making it sound like "ro-boost". Tip: Keep the "u" sound short and clear, pronounced as /ʌ/ in both US and UK versions to maintain the word's integrity.
