Common mistakes of unreasonable pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "un-REASON-able" instead of the correct "UN-reason-able" (ˌʌnˈriː.zən.ə.bəl). Tip: Remember to emphasize the first syllable.
- Vowel sounds: Some pronounce "unreasonable" with a short "a" sound, like "un-rez-uh-nuh-buhl," instead of the correct "un-reason-able" (ˈriː.zən). Tip: Focus on the long "ee" sound in "reason."
- Syllable count: A common mistake is to add an extra syllable, saying "un-reason-a-ble" instead of "un-reason-able" (ˌʌnˈriː.zən.ə.bəl). Tip: Count the syllables; there are four in total.
- Linking sounds: Some speakers disconnect the syllables, saying "un reason able" instead of linking them smoothly. Tip: Practice saying "unreasonable" as a single flow to improve fluency.
- Final "ble" sound: Incorrectly pronouncing "ble" as "buhl" instead of "bəl" can lead to confusion. Tip: The final syllable should sound like "bəl," not "buhl."
