Common mistakes of vision pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "vi-ZION" instead of "VI-sion". Tip: Remember that the primary stress falls on the first syllable, /ˈvɪʒ.ən/ in US and UK.
- Vowel confusion: Many pronounce "vision" with an incorrect vowel sound, like "vee-shun". This alters the pronunciation to /ˈviː.ʒən/. Tip: Focus on the short "i" sound, /ɪ/, in the first syllable.
- Omitting the "s" sound: A common mistake is to drop the "s" sound, pronouncing it as "vi-tion". This results in /ˈvɪʒ.ən/ sounding incomplete. Tip: Ensure to include the "s" sound, /ʒ/, to maintain clarity.
- Incorrect vowel length: Some may confuse the vowel length in "vision", saying "vijon" with a short "i". This leads to /ˈvɪdʒ.ən/. Tip: Practice elongating the "i" sound slightly to achieve the correct pronunciation.
- Mispronouncing the ending: Learners sometimes pronounce the ending as "shun" instead of "zhun", resulting in /ˈvɪʃ.ən/. Tip: Pay attention to the "zh" sound, /ʒ/, to ensure the word flows correctly.
