Common mistakes of stuck pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some may pronounce "stuck" with a long "u" sound, like /stuːk/. Tip: Remember that the vowel sound is a short "u" as in /stʌk/ for both US and UK pronunciations.
- Misplaced stress: A common mistake is to stress the second syllable, saying "stuck" as if it has two syllables. Tip: "Stuck" is a single-syllable word, so stress the entire word equally without adding an extra beat.
- Overemphasis on "s": Some learners might overly emphasize the "s" sound, making it sound like "ssstuck." Tip: The "s" in "stuck" should be pronounced clearly but not exaggerated; focus on a smooth transition to the "t."
- Ignoring the final "k": Occasionally, speakers may drop the "k" sound at the end, saying "stuh." Tip: Ensure to pronounce the final "k" clearly, as it is crucial for the correct pronunciation of "stuck," /stʌk/.
- Confusing with "stuck" and "stuck": Some may confuse "stuck" with "stoked." Tip: Pay attention to the vowel sound; "stuck" has a short "u" /ʌ/, while "stoked" has a long "o" /oʊ/.
