Common mistakes of welcoming pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Some learners stress the second syllable "wel-" instead of the first "wel-". US/UK pronunciation is /ˈwɛlkəmɪŋ/. Tip: Focus on the primary stress at the beginning to sound more natural.
Overemphasizing the "l": Pronouncing "welcoming" with an exaggerated "l" sound can make it sound awkward. Tip: Keep the "l" soft and blend it smoothly with the surrounding sounds.
Ignoring the schwa: The second syllable in "welcoming" contains a schwa sound /ə/, which can be overlooked. Tip: Practice saying the word slowly to ensure you pronounce the unstressed vowel clearly.
Incorrect vowel sound: Some may say "welcoming" with a long "e" sound as in "we". The correct sound is a short "e" /ɛ/. Tip: Listen to native speakers to distinguish between the short and long vowel sounds.
Skipping the final "g": Omitting the "g" at the end can lead to an incomplete pronunciation. Tip: Always pronounce the ending "g" to maintain clarity and completeness in your speech.
