Common mistakes of stoicism pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, pronouncing it as "sto-i-ˈcism". This is incorrect. The correct stress falls on the first syllable: "ˈstoɪ.ɪ.sɪzm". Tip: Focus on the first syllable to get it right.
- Vowel confusion: The "o" in "stoicism" is often mispronounced. Some say "sto-ˈɪ-sɪm" instead of "ˈstoɪ.ɪ.sɪzm". The "o" should sound like the "oy" in "boy". Tip: Practice saying "sto-oy-cism" to reinforce the correct vowel sound.
- Dropping syllables: Some speakers may drop the second syllable, saying "ˈstoɪsɪzm". This results in a mispronunciation. All syllables are important in "stoicism". Tip: Break it down into three clear syllables: "sto-i-cism".
- Incorrect final sound: The ending "ism" can be mispronounced as "ˈɪzəm" instead of "ɪsɪzm". This changes the word significantly. Tip: Remember to articulate the "s" sound clearly in "ism".
- Overemphasizing the "t": Some might pronounce "stoicism" with a strong "t" sound, like "sto-ˈtɪ-sɪm". This is not standard. The "t" is soft and should blend with the preceding sounds. Tip: Keep the "t" subtle, focusing on the flow of the word.
