Errore comune:
Learners sometimes confuse the noun "pronunciation" with the verb "pronounce" and say things like *How to pronunciation this word?* instead of *How do you pronounce this word?* or *What is the pronunciation of this word?*. Another common mistake is spelling it like the verb (*pronounciation*), which is incorrect.
