Common mistakes of tribunal pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "tri-ˈbjuː-nəl" instead of the correct "ˈtraɪ-bjuː-nəl". Tip: Remember, the primary stress is on the first syllable "tri".
- Vowel sound confusion: Some may pronounce "i" as "ɪ" in "tribunal", saying "trɪ-ˈbjuː-nəl". This can lead to miscommunication. Tip: Focus on the long "aɪ" sound in the first syllable.
- Syllable omission: It is common to drop the second syllable, leading to "ˈtraɪ-nəl" instead of "ˈtraɪ-bjuː-nəl". Omitting syllables can change the meaning. Tip: Practice saying all three syllables clearly.
- Incorrect ending sound: Some might say "tribunal" with a short "l" sound, like "ˈtraɪ-bjuː-nəl" instead of the correct "ˈtraɪ-bjuː-nəl". Tip: Ensure the "l" at the end is pronounced clearly.
- Mispronouncing "b": Occasionally, learners confuse "b" with "p", saying "ˈtraɪ-pjuː-nəl". This can alter the word entirely. Tip: Pay attention to the voiced "b" sound when pronouncing "tribunal".
