Common mistakes of tremor pronunciation
- Stress placement error: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "tre-MOR" instead of "TREM-or" (US: ˈtrɛmər, UK: ˈtrɛmɔː). Tip: Emphasize the first syllable to sound natural.
- Vowel sound confusion: The "e" in "tremor" can be mispronounced as a long vowel, resulting in "tray-mor." The correct sound is a short "e" as in "met" (US: ˈtrɛmər, UK: ˈtrɛmɔː). Tip: Practice saying "trem" like "gem."
- Final "r" misarticulation: In some accents, the final "r" in "tremor" may be dropped or softened, leading to "trem-uh." The correct pronunciation includes a clear "r" sound (US: ˈtrɛmər, UK: ˈtrɛmɔː). Tip: Focus on pronouncing the "r" distinctly.
- Syllable omission: Some speakers may inadvertently shorten "tremor" to "trem," omitting the second syllable. This alters the meaning and clarity. Tip: Always pronounce both syllables fully, as in "TREM-or."
- Overemphasis on "m": Learners might exaggerate the "m" sound, saying "trem-mor." This can sound unnatural. The correct pronunciation has a single "m" (US: ˈtrɛmər, UK: ˈtrɛmɔː). Tip: Keep the "m" sound light and smooth.
