Common mistakes of thoracic pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many learners stress the second syllable, saying "tho-ˈræs-ɪk". This is incorrect. The primary stress is on the third syllable: "θəˈræs.ɪk". Tip: Focus on emphasizing the "ræs" part.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some may pronounce the first syllable as "θoʊ" instead of "θə". This can lead to confusion. The correct pronunciation is "θə" (as in "the"). Tip: Practice saying "the" before "thoracic" to get the sound right.
- Overemphasizing the "c": Learners often pronounce the final "c" too strongly, saying "thorac-ic". The correct pronunciation is "θəˈræs.ɪk" with a soft "c". Tip: Remember that "ic" is less emphasized and should flow smoothly.
- Dropping the schwa: Some speakers may omit the schwa sound in the first syllable, saying "thras-ic". This is incorrect. The first syllable needs the schwa: "θə". Tip: Say "the" quickly to practice the schwa sound in "thoracic".
- Confusing the "s" sound: A common mistake is pronouncing the "s" as a "z", leading to "thorazic". The correct pronunciation uses an "s" sound: "θəˈræs.ɪk". Tip: Focus on the "s" sound by practicing words like "see" and then transitioning to "thoracic".
