How to Pronounce “conscience”
To pronounce the word “conscience” correctly, follow these steps:
- Start by sounding out the “c” at the beginning of the word as a hard “k” sound.
- Proceed with the “o” sound, similar to the “ah” sound in “pot” or “hot.”
- The following “n” sound should be a soft nasal sound made with the tip of your tongue touching the roof of your mouth.
- Continue with the “sci” sound, which can be broken down into two parts. The “s” sound is pronounced as in “sit,” and the “ci” sounds like “sh” in “ship” or “she.”
- Finally, pronounce the ending “ence” with a soft “eh” sound followed by an “ns” sound.
Putting it all together, you should say “KAHN-shuhns” while keeping the emphasis on the first syllable.
Remember to practice the pronunciation slowly and gradually increase your speed as you become more comfortable.
