Common mistakes of vigorously pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "vi-GOR-ously" instead of "VIG-or-ously". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, marked as ˈvɪɡ.
- Vowel sounds: Some people mispronounce the first vowel as "ee" instead of the correct "ih" sound, saying "vee-gor-ously". Tip: Listen for the short "i" sound in "vigorous", represented as ɪ in IPA: ˈvɪɡ.
- Ending "ly" sound: A common mistake is to pronounce the "ly" as "lee" rather than the correct "lee" sound. This can lead to saying "vigor-lee" instead of "vigor-ously". Tip: Focus on the "lous" ending, which sounds like -əsli.
- Overemphasizing syllables: Some may overemphasize the second syllable, leading to "vi-GOR-ously" sounding unnatural. Tip: Keep a balanced rhythm, ensuring the first syllable is the most prominent.
- Dropping the "g" sound: Occasionally, learners might drop the "g" sound in the middle, saying "vi-or-ously". Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "g" clearly in "vigorous" as /ɡ/, maintaining clarity in the word.
