Common mistakes of toxicity pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners place stress on the second syllable, pronouncing it as /tɒkˈsɪs.ɪ.ti/ (UK) or /tɑkˈsɪs.ɪ.ti/ (US). Tip: Remember to stress the third syllable: /tɒkˈsɪs.ɪ.ti/ (UK) or /tɑkˈsɪs.ɪ.ti/ (US).
- Overemphasizing the "o": Some may pronounce the "o" in "toxicity" too strongly, leading to /ˈtɒks.ɪ.sɪ.ti/ (UK) or /ˈtɑks.ɪ.sɪ.ti/ (US). Tip: Keep the "o" subtle and focus on the following syllables.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Learners often mispronounce the "i" in the second syllable as /ɪ/ instead of the correct /ɪ/. Tip: Ensure that the second "i" is pronounced clearly as /ɪ/ in all contexts.
- Dropping the "c": Some might omit the "c" sound, pronouncing it as /tɒsˈɪs.ɪ.ti/ (UK) or /tɑsˈɪs.ɪ.ti/ (US). Tip: Always include the "c" to maintain clarity and accuracy in pronunciation.
- Blending syllables: A common mistake is to blend the syllables together, making it sound like /tɒksɪˈsɪti/ (UK) or /tɑksɪˈsɪti/ (US). Tip: Pronounce each syllable distinctly: "tox" /tɒks/ (UK) or /tɑks/ (US), "ic" /ɪk/, "i" /ɪ/, "ty" /ti/.
