Common mistakes of stochastic pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying /stəˈkæstɪk/. The correct stress is on the third syllable in both US and UK English: /stoʊˈkæs.tɪk/. Tip: Focus on the "kæs" part for proper emphasis.
  2. Overlooking the "ch" sound: Some pronounce "stochastic" as /stoʊˈkæstɪk/, ignoring the "ch" sound. The correct pronunciation includes a "k" sound: /stoʊˈkæs.tɪk/. Tip: Remember that "ch" in this word sounds like "k."
  3. Incorrect vowel sounds: It's common to mispronounce the first vowel, saying /stɔːˈkæstɪk/ instead of /stoʊˈkæs.tɪk/. The "o" should sound like the "o" in "go." Tip: Practice saying "sto" as in "stone" to get it right.
  4. Skipping the final "ic": Some learners drop the final "ic," pronouncing it as /stoʊˈkæs.tə/. The full pronunciation should end with /ɪk/: /stoʊˈkæs.tɪk/. Tip: Always ensure you articulate the "ic" at the end for clarity.
  5. Mispronouncing the "a" sound: Some may say /stoʊˈstɑː.kɪk/, using an "ah" sound instead of the correct "a" as in "cat": /æ/. Tip: Focus on the "æ" sound to achieve the accurate pronunciation.
