Common mistakes of sanctification pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "sanctifiˈcation." The correct stress is on the third syllable: "sanctifiˈcation" (ˌsæŋk.tɪ.fɪˈkeɪ.ʃən in US, ˌsæŋk.tɪ.fɪˈkeɪ.ʃən in UK). Tip: Focus on the "fi" syllable for proper emphasis.
- Skipping syllables: Some speakers tend to drop the "t" sound, pronouncing it as "sanctifiˈcation" instead of the full "sanctification." The "t" is crucial for clarity. Tip: Practice enunciating each syllable distinctly.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: A common mistake is mispronouncing the "i" in the second syllable as a long "ee" sound, saying "sanctifiˈkay-shun." The correct sound is a short "i," as in "sit." Tip: Pay attention to the vowel sounds in each syllable.
- Adding an extra syllable: Some may mistakenly say "sanctifiˈca-tion," adding an unnecessary vowel sound. The correct pronunciation has only four syllables: "sanctification." Tip: Break the word down into its four clear syllables when practicing.
- Confusing "c" sounds: Learners often mispronounce the "c" in the third syllable as a hard "k" sound, saying "sanctifiˈkay-shun." The correct pronunciation uses a soft "sh" sound. Tip: Listen to native speakers to hear the subtle differences in sound.
