Common mistakes of sclera pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "sclera" as /skəˈlɛrə/. Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable, using the correct pronunciation /ˈsklɛrə/.
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some may pronounce "sclera" with an "a" sound as in "cat," saying /sklɛrɑ/. Tip: Use the short "e" sound as in "bed" for the second syllable, ensuring it sounds like /ˈsklɛrə/.
- Omitting the initial "s": A common mistake is to start with a "k" sound, pronouncing it as "clera." Tip: Always begin with the "s" sound /s/, ensuring you pronounce it as /ˈsklɛrə/.
- Adding an extra syllable: Some learners may pronounce "sclera" with three syllables, saying /ˈsklɛərə/. Tip: Focus on keeping it to two syllables, pronounced as /ˈsklɛrə/, to sound more natural.
- Mispronouncing the "c": A frequent error is to pronounce the "c" as a "k," resulting in "sklera." Tip: Remember that the "sc" in "sclera" is pronounced as /sk/, not /k/, keeping the correct pronunciation as /ˈsklɛrə/.
