Common mistakes of treasury pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "trea-" instead of the correct first syllable "ˈtrɛ". Tip: Focus on saying "ˈtrɛ" to emphasize the correct syllable.
- Overemphasizing the "s": Many pronounce "treasury" with a strong "s" sound, making it sound like "trea-sure-ry" instead of "ˈtrɛʒ.ə.ri". Tip: Practice saying "ˈtrɛʒ" quickly to blend the sounds smoothly.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some may confuse the vowel sounds in the second syllable, pronouncing it as "ˈtrɛs" instead of "ˈtrɛʒ". Tip: Make sure to use the soft "ʒ" sound, like in "measure".
- Skipping the middle syllable: Learners sometimes omit the middle syllable, saying "treasury" as "ˈtrɛri". Tip: Remember to pronounce all syllables clearly: "ˈtrɛʒ.ə.ri".
- Mispronouncing the ending: Some people pronounce the final "y" as a long "ee" sound, saying "ˈtrɛʒ.ə.ree". Tip: Use a short "i" sound, as in "it", to correctly say "ˈtrɛʒ.ə.ri".
