Common mistakes of tuskegee pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable in "tuskegee" as /ˌtʌsˈkiːɡi/. This word actually has primary stress on the third syllable, /ˈtʌs.kɪˌɡiː/. Tip: Practice saying "tuskegee" with emphasis on the "gee" sound.
- Vowel sound confusion: Some people mispronounce the first syllable as "tus" with a short "u" sound, /tʌs/. In "tuskegee," the vowel is more like /tʌs/, which is pronounced with a clearer "u" sound. Tip: Focus on the "u" as in "cup."
- Final vowel sound: A common mistake is to pronounce the last syllable as /i/ instead of /iː/. "Tuskegee" ends with a long "ee" sound, /ˈtʌs.kɪˌɡiː/. Tip: Lengthen the "gee" sound when you say it.
- Syllable division: Some learners incorrectly break "tuskegee" into two parts, saying "tus-ke-gee" as /tʌs.kəˈɡiː/. The correct division is into three syllables: /ˈtʌs.kɪˌɡiː/. Tip: Practice saying it smoothly without pausing between syllables.
- Consonant clarity: People often soften the "g" sound in "tuskegee," saying it as /dʒ/. The correct pronunciation is a hard "g," /ɡ/. Tip: Keep the "g" strong, as in "go," to ensure clarity.
