Common mistakes of toddler pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "tod-ˈdler" instead of the correct "ˈtodd-ler". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, "todd".
- Overpronouncing the "o": A common mistake is pronouncing "toddler" with an exaggerated "o," sounding like "tohd-ler". Tip: Keep the "o" short and relaxed, as in "todd".
- Ignoring the "d": Some may pronounce "toddler" as "todd-ler," dropping the "d" sound. Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "d" clearly to maintain the integrity of the word, as in "ˈtodd-ler".
- Confusing vowel sounds: Learners might use a long "a" sound, saying "tawdler" instead of "toddler". Tip: Use a short "o" sound, similar to "hot," to pronounce "todd" correctly.
- Blending the syllables: Some people may run the syllables together, saying "todler" without a clear break. Tip: Pronounce it as two distinct syllables, "ˈtodd-ler," to avoid confusion.
