Common mistakes of telepathy pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners stress the second syllable, saying "te-ˈlep-ə-thy". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "tə-ˈlep-ə-thy". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on "lep".
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some might pronounce the first syllable as "tee" instead of "tə". The correct pronunciation is "tə-ˈlep-ə-thy". Tip: Use a schwa sound /ə/ for the unstressed syllables.
- Overemphasizing the final "thy": A common mistake is pronouncing "telepathy" as "telepath-ee". The correct form is "tə-ˈlep-ə-thy". Tip: Keep the final syllable short and less emphasized.
- Dropping the "e": Some may say "telapathy", omitting the "e". The correct pronunciation includes it: "tə-ˈlep-ə-thy". Tip: Make sure to articulate the "e" in the second syllable clearly.
- Confusing with similar words: Learners sometimes confuse "telepathy" with "telegraphy". While "telepathy" is pronounced "tə-ˈlep-ə-thy", "telegraphy" is "tə-ˈleɡrə-fi". Tip: Focus on the distinct vowel sounds and syllable stresses in each word.
