Common mistakes of vestibular pronunciation

  1. Stress misplacement: Many learners place the stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "ves-ˈtib-yə-lər". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "vɛs-ˈtɪb-jə-lər". Tip: Practice emphasizing the "tib" part to get it right.
  2. Vowel confusion: Some people pronounce the "i" as a long vowel, saying "ves-ti-ˈbju-lər". In reality, it should be a short "i" sound, as in "bit": "vɛs-ˈtɪb-jə-lər". Tip: Focus on keeping the "i" short and crisp.
  3. Syllable omission: It's common to drop the "j" sound before the "u", resulting in "ves-ti-ˈbu-lər". The correct pronunciation includes the "j": "vɛs-ˈtɪb-jə-lər". Tip: Make sure to articulate the "j" clearly to avoid confusion.
  4. Incorrect vowel sound: Some may mispronounce the first vowel, saying "ˈvɛs-tɪb-jə-lər" instead of "vɛs-ˈtɪb-jə-lər". The correct vowel sound in the first syllable is short and open. Tip: Listen to native speakers to hear the difference in vowel sounds.
  5. Final syllable confusion: Learners often mispronounce the last syllable as "lar" instead of the correct "lər". The accurate pronunciation is "vɛs-ˈtɪb-jə-lər". Tip: Practice saying the last syllable softly to maintain clarity.
