Common mistakes of technological pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners stress the second syllable in "technological" as /ˌtɛk.nəˈlɒ.dʒɪ.kəl/ (UK) or /ˌtɛk.nəˈlɑ.dʒɪ.kəl/ (US). This can make the word sound unnatural. Tip: Focus on placing primary stress on the third syllable, "lo".
- Vowel sounds: Some may pronounce the "o" in "technological" as a short "o" sound, like "hot". Instead, it should be pronounced as a schwa /ə/. Tip: Practice saying the word slowly to emphasize the correct vowel sound in the unstressed syllables.
- Syllable omission: Learners often drop the syllable "lo" and say "technological" as /ˈtɛk.nəˈlɒ.dʒɪ.kəl/ (UK) or /ˈtɛk.nəˈlɑ.dʒɪ.kəl/ (US). This leads to mispronunciation. Tip: Break the word down into syllables: "tech-no-lo-gi-cal".
- Nasal sound confusion: Some may confuse the "g" sound in "technological" with a hard "g" as in "go". The correct pronunciation is a soft "g" /dʒ/. Tip: Practice saying "j" words like "juice" to familiarize yourself with the soft sound.
- Final syllable stress: A common mistake is to stress the final syllable in "technological", pronouncing it as /tɛk.nəˈlɒ.dʒɪ.kəl/ (UK) or /tɛk.nəˈlɑ.dʒɪ.kəl/ (US). This alters the word's rhythm. Tip: Remember that the final syllable is weak and should be less emphasized.
