Common mistakes of transmission pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly place stress on the second syllable, saying "trans-ˈmission". The correct stress is on the last syllable, "trans-ˈMI-sion". Tip: Remember to emphasize "MI" when pronouncing "transmission".
- Omitting the "n": Some speakers drop the "n" sound, pronouncing it as "tras-mission" instead of "trans-ˈmission". This can change the word's clarity. Tip: Focus on articulating the "n" between "trans" and "mission" to maintain accuracy.
- Pronouncing "trans" incorrectly: The first syllable is often mispronounced as "tranz" instead of "trans". The correct pronunciation is /træns/ in both US and UK English. Tip: Practice saying "trans" with a short "a" sound to avoid confusion.
- Confusing vowel sounds: Some learners may pronounce the "i" in "mission" as a long "ee" sound, saying "trans-miss-ee-on". The correct sound is a short "i", as in /ˈmɪʃ.ən/. Tip: Use the short "i" sound to ensure proper pronunciation of "mission".
- Ignoring the schwa: The last syllable can be mispronounced with emphasis, leading to "transmission" sounding like "trans-miss-ion". The correct pronunciation includes a schwa sound /ə/ in the unstressed syllable. Tip: Practice reducing the last syllable to a softer sound for smoother delivery.
