Common mistakes of scholarship pronunciation
- Incorrect stress placement: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, saying "schol-ar-ship". The correct pronunciation is "ˈskɒl.ər.ʃɪp" (UK) and "ˈskɑː.lɚ.ʃɪp" (US). Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable "schol".
- Mispronouncing the "ch": The "ch" in "scholarship" is often mispronounced as "ch" in "chair", leading to "scholarchip". The correct sound is "ʃ", as in "shoe". Tip: Practice saying "sh" before the "olar" to get it right.
- Omitting the "o": Some may say "scholarship" without the "o", resulting in "skolarship". The correct pronunciation includes the "o" sound, pronounced as "ə". Tip: Focus on clearly articulating each syllable: "schol-ar-ship".
- Confusing vowel sounds: Learners might mispronounce the "a" in "scholar" as "æ", saying "skæl-ar". The correct pronunciation is "ɒ" (UK) and "ɑː" (US). Tip: Listen to native speakers to differentiate the vowel sounds.
- Adding an extra syllable: Some pronounce "scholarship" as "schol-ar-ship" with an unnecessary break. The correct pronunciation is three syllables: "ˈskɒl.ər.ʃɪp" (UK) and "ˈskɑː.lɚ.ʃɪp" (US). Tip: Keep the flow smooth between syllables to avoid breaks.
