Common mistakes of undergo pronunciation
- Stress misplacement: Some learners place stress incorrectly, saying "un-der-go" instead of "un-der-'go" (ˌʌn.dərˈɡoʊ) in US English and "ʌn.dəˈgəʊ" in UK English. Tip: Always stress the last syllable.
- Vowel confusion: The "u" in "undergo" can be mispronounced. Instead of "ʌn-dər-go," some may say "ʌn-dɜː-go." Tip: Focus on the short "u" sound, as in "cup."
- Syllable omission: Some speakers may drop the second syllable, saying "un-go" instead of "un-der-go." This can lead to misunderstandings. Tip: Practice saying all three syllables clearly.
- Ending sound error: The final "go" may be pronounced too softly or incorrectly, as "guh" rather than "go." This affects clarity. Tip: Emphasize the "o" sound for proper pronunciation.
- Linking issues: When saying "undergo" in a sentence, some might disconnect it from surrounding words, making it sound choppy. Tip: Practice fluid speech by linking "undergo" smoothly with adjacent words.
