Common mistakes of accomplish pronunciation
- Stress on the wrong syllable: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "a-ˈcom-plish." The correct stress is on the third syllable: "ə-ˈkɒm-plɪʃ" (UK) or "ə-ˈkɑːm-plɪʃ" (US). Tip: Practice emphasizing "plish" to get it right.
- Mispronouncing the "a": Some may say "ˈa-com-plish," using a long "a" sound. The correct pronunciation starts with a schwa sound: "ə-ˈkɒm-plɪʃ" (UK) or "ə-ˈkɑːm-plɪʃ" (US). Tip: Focus on the softer "a" at the beginning.
- Overemphasizing the "ch": Learners sometimes pronounce the "ch" as "ch" in "chocolate," resulting in "a-com-pliʃ." The "ch" in "accomplish" is pronounced as "ʃ" (like "sh"). Tip: Think of the "sh" sound to avoid confusion.
- Incorrect vowel sound in the second syllable: Some may pronounce the second syllable as "com" with a short "o" sound, like in "cot." The correct sound is a short "o" as in "come": "ə-ˈkɒm-plɪʃ" (UK) or "ə-ˈkɑːm-plɪʃ" (US). Tip: Use the vowel sound from "come" for accuracy.
- Skipping the "l": Some learners may pronounce it as "a-com-pish," omitting the "l" sound. The "l" is essential in "accomplish": "ə-ˈkɒm-plɪʃ" (UK) or "ə-ˈkɑːm-plɪʃ" (US). Tip: Make sure to clearly articulate the "l" to maintain clarity.
