Common mistakes of weariness pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable instead of the first, saying "weˈariness" instead of the correct "ˈweariness". Tip: Focus on the first syllable for proper emphasis.
  2. Incorrect vowel sounds: People may pronounce "weariness" with an "eh" sound as in "bet" instead of the correct "air" sound as in "air". Tip: Practice saying "wear" to ensure the vowel sound is accurate.
  3. Missing the "r" sound: Some may omit the "r" in "weariness," pronouncing it as "weaness." This can lead to confusion. Tip: Clearly articulate the "r" to maintain clarity in speech.
