Common mistakes of vienna pronunciation
- Incorrect vowel sound: Many learners mispronounce "vienna" by using an incorrect vowel sound in the first syllable, saying /viˈɛnə/ instead of the correct /viˈɛnə/. Tip: Focus on the "v" and "i" sounds blending smoothly.
- Stress placement: Some may incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying /vɪˈɛnə/. The correct stress is on the first syllable: /ˈviː.ɛn.ə/. Tip: Practice saying "vienna" slowly, emphasizing the first syllable.
