Common mistakes of session pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ses-ˈsion" instead of the correct "ˈses-sion". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable "ses".
- Vowel sound confusion: The "e" in "session" can be mispronounced as a long vowel, leading to "sē-ˈsion". The correct sound is a short "e" as in "set" [ɛ]. Tip: Practice saying "set" to find the right vowel sound.
- Overemphasizing the "s": Some might pronounce "session" with an exaggerated "s" at the beginning, like "ˈs-sion". This is incorrect. Tip: Focus on a smooth transition from "s" to "e" without extra emphasis.
- Omitting the "n": A common error is dropping the "n" sound at the end, leading to "ses-sio". The correct pronunciation includes the "n" sound, as in "ˈses-ʃən". Tip: Practice saying "session" slowly to ensure you include the final "n".
- Mispronouncing the "sh" sound: Some learners may pronounce the "sh" in "session" as "s" or "z", resulting in "ses-sin" or "ses-zion". The correct sound is "ʃ" as in "shoe". Tip: Practice the "sh" sound separately to improve accuracy.
