Common mistakes of teaches pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many learners place stress incorrectly, saying "TEA-ches" instead of the correct "TEA-chiz" (/ˈtiː.tʃɪz/ in US and UK). Tip: Remember the primary stress is on the first syllable.
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some pronounce "teaches" with a short "e" sound, saying "tetches" instead of the correct "teaches" (/ˈtiː.tʃɪz/). Tip: Focus on the long "ee" sound as in "see."
- Omitting the "s" sound: A common mistake is dropping the final "s," leading to "teach" instead of "teaches" (/ˈtiː.tʃɪz/). Tip: Always pronounce the "s" at the end to indicate the plural form.
- Confusing with "teaches" and "teaches": Some confuse the pronunciation with "teaches" and "teaches" (/ˈtiː.tʃɪz/ vs. /ˈtiː.tʃɪs/). Tip: Make sure to use the correct IPA for clarity and practice the difference in sound.
- Overemphasizing the "t": Learners sometimes overemphasize the "t" sound, saying "tee-CHES" instead of "teaches" (/ˈtiː.tʃɪz/). Tip: Keep the "t" clear but soft to maintain natural flow.
