Common mistakes of schnitzel pronunciation
- Misplacing the "s": Many learners pronounce "schnitzel" with an incorrect "s" sound, like /s/ instead of the correct /ʃ/. This changes the pronunciation to "shnitzel". Tip: Focus on the "sh" sound at the beginning, as in "shoe".
- Ignoring the "ch": Some people neglect the "ch" in "schnitzel", saying "snitzel" instead. The correct pronunciation includes the /x/ sound, making it /ʃnɪtsəl/ in US English and /ʃnɪtsəl/ in UK English. Tip: Practice saying "ch" as in "loch".
- Incorrect vowel sound: The "i" in "schnitzel" is often mispronounced as a long vowel, resulting in "schnitzel" sounding like "schnitzel" with an /iː/. The correct sound is a short /ɪ/. Tip: Compare it to the "i" in "sit".
- Stressing the wrong syllable: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, pronouncing it as "schnit-ZEL". The correct stress is on the first syllable: /ˈʃnɪtsəl/. Tip: Emphasize the "schnit" part more than "zel".
- Overemphasizing the "t": A common mistake is to overly stress the "t" in "schnitzel", making it sound harsh. The "t" should be pronounced softly as /t/. Tip: Keep the "t" light and smooth, blending it into the word.
