Common mistakes of admit pronunciation

Misplacing the stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ad-MIT" instead of the correct "AD-mit" (ˈæd.mɪt). Tip: Remember, the primary stress is on the first syllable.
Overemphasizing the "t": Some people pronounce "admit" with a strong "t" sound, making it sound like "admit" instead of "admit" (ˈæd.mɪt). Tip: The "t" should be clear but not overly pronounced; keep it soft.
Dropping the "d": A common mistake is omitting the "d" sound, resulting in "a-mit." This changes the pronunciation to something unrecognizable. Tip: Focus on articulating the "d" clearly to maintain the word's integrity.
Incorrect vowel sound: Some learners use a long "i" sound, saying "admeet" instead of "admit" (ˈæd.mɪt). Tip: Practice the short "i" sound as in "sit" to ensure accurate pronunciation.
Confusing with similar words: Learners often mix up "admit" with "submit" or "commit," leading to mispronunciation. Tip: Pay attention to the initial vowel sound; "admit" starts with an "æ" sound, while the others start with "ə."
