Common mistakes of tangible pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "tan-ˈgib-əl". The correct pronunciation is "ˈtæn.dʒə.bəl" in US English and "ˈtæn.dʒɪ.bəl" in UK English. Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable.
- Overemphasizing the "g": Many pronounce "tangible" as "tan-gə-bəl", giving too much weight to the "g". The correct pronunciation is "ˈtæn.dʒə.bəl". Tip: Focus on blending the "g" and "i" sounds smoothly.
- Ignoring the vowel sound: Some might pronounce "tangible" as "tan-jə-bəl", neglecting the "i" sound. The accurate sound is "ˈtæn.dʒɪ.bəl" in UK English. Tip: Practice saying the "i" clearly to maintain the word's integrity.
- Skipping the final syllable: A common mistake is to drop the last syllable, resulting in "tan-gə". The full pronunciation is "ˈtæn.dʒə.bəl". Tip: Make sure to articulate all syllables to avoid confusion.
- Mispronouncing the "a": Some learners say "tangible" with a long "a", like "tayn-gə-bəl". The correct pronunciation is "ˈtæn.dʒə.bəl" in US English and "ˈtæn.dʒɪ.bəl" in UK English. Tip: Use a short "a" as in "cat" to pronounce it correctly.
