Common mistakes of verification pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "verifiˈcation". The correct stress is on the fourth syllable: "ˌverɪfɪˈkeɪʃən". Tip: Practice saying "ver-i-fi-CA-tion" to emphasize the right syllable.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some may pronounce the "i" in "verification" as "ee" instead of the short "i" sound. The correct pronunciation is "ˌverɪfɪˈkeɪʃən" in both US and UK English. Tip: Focus on the "i" sounding like "ih" as in "bit".
- Overemphasizing the "c": A common mistake is to overly stress the "c" in "verification", leading to a hard "k" sound. The correct pronunciation is softer: "ˌverɪfɪˈkeɪʃən". Tip: Keep the "c" light and blend it smoothly with the following "a".
- Omitting syllables: Some speakers might drop the second syllable, pronouncing it as "verfication". The full pronunciation is "ˌverɪfɪˈkeɪʃən". Tip: Clearly articulate each syllable to avoid this omission.
- Confusing "a" sounds: Learners sometimes mispronounce the "a" in "verification" as "ah" instead of the long "ay" sound. The correct pronunciation is "ˌverɪfɪˈkeɪʃən". Tip: Practice the "a" as in "day" to ensure clarity.
