Common mistakes of transport pronunciation
- Stress misplacement: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying /trænˈspɔrt/ instead of the correct /ˈtræn.spɔrt/. Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, "trans".
- Vowel confusion: Some people mispronounce the first vowel, saying "transpert" instead of "transport". The correct pronunciation is /ˈtræn.spɔrt/. Tip: Focus on the short "a" sound, like in "cat".
- Omitting the final "t": A common mistake is dropping the final "t" sound, resulting in "transpor". The correct pronunciation is /ˈtræn.spɔrt/. Tip: Always pronounce the final "t" clearly to maintain the word's integrity.
- Incorrect vowel length: Some may lengthen the "o" sound, saying "transpohrt". The accurate pronunciation is /ˈtræn.spɔrt/. Tip: Keep the "o" short and crisp, as in "port".
- Blending sounds: Learners sometimes blend the "n" and "s" sounds, leading to "tramsport". The correct form is /ˈtræn.spɔrt/. Tip: Articulate each consonant clearly to avoid blending.
