Common mistakes of accompanied pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ac-com-PAN-ied" instead of the correct "ac-COM-pa-nied" (ˈə-kəm-pə-nid). Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the third syllable.
- Vowel sounds: Some may pronounce "accompanied" with a short "a" sound, saying "uh-com-pan-ied" instead of "ə-kəm-pə-nid". Tip: Focus on the schwa sound in the first syllable to maintain the correct pronunciation.
- Syllable count: A common mistake is to add an extra syllable, pronouncing it as "ac-com-pan-i-ed". Tip: Break it down into four syllables: "ac-com-pa-nied" (ˈə-kəm-pə-nid) to avoid this error.
- Final "d" sound: Some speakers tend to drop the final "d" in "accompanied", saying "accompanied" as "accom-pan-i". Tip: Clearly articulate the "d" at the end to ensure correct pronunciation.
- Linking sounds: Learners often disconnect the syllables, making it sound choppy, like "ac-com-pa-nied". Tip: Practice linking the syllables smoothly to achieve a more natural flow in "accompanied" (ˈə-kəm-pə-nid).
