Common mistakes of sensory pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place the stress incorrectly on the second syllable, pronouncing it as "sen-SO-ry." The correct stress is on the first syllable: /ˈsɛn.sə.ri/ (US) and /ˈsɛn.sər.i/ (UK). Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable.
- Omitting the vowel sound: A common mistake is to drop the unstressed vowel in the second syllable, saying "sensry." The second syllable should clearly have the schwa sound /ə/. Tip: Practice saying the full syllable "sə" to maintain clarity.
- Mispronouncing the "s" sounds: Some may confuse the initial "s" with a "z" sound, saying "zensory." The correct pronunciation starts with an /s/ sound. Tip: Focus on producing a clear /s/ sound at the beginning of "sensory."
- Confusing the final "ory" ending: Learners sometimes pronounce "sensory" as "sensorye," adding an extra vowel sound at the end. The correct ending is pronounced as /ri/ (US) and /ri/ (UK). Tip: Practice saying the word slowly to ensure the ending is pronounced correctly.
- Blending syllables: Some may blend the syllables together, making it sound like "sensory" is one long word. The syllables should be distinct: /ˈsɛn.sə.ri/. Tip: Break the word into parts: "sen," "so," "ry" to enhance pronunciation.
