Common mistakes of aerated pronunciation

Stress misplacement: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "aer-ˈa-ted" instead of the correct "ˈɛr-eɪ-tɪd". Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable, "ˈɛr".
Vowel confusion: Some people pronounce the first vowel as "a" instead of the correct "ɛ". This leads to saying "aerated" as "ˈaer-eɪ-tɪd". Tip: Focus on the "ɛ" sound like in "bed".
Overemphasis on "aer": Learners sometimes overemphasize the "aer" sound, making it sound too long. They may say "ˈaer-a-ted". Tip: Keep the first syllable short and crisp, "ˈɛr".
Silent "e" misunderstanding: Some may mistakenly pronounce the "e" in "aerated", leading to "ˈɛr-eɪ-təd". The correct pronunciation is "ˈɛr-eɪ-tɪd". Tip: Remember that the "e" is not pronounced as a separate syllable.
Incorrect final "t" sound: A common mistake is to soften the "t" at the end, saying "ˈɛr-eɪ-d". The correct pronunciation includes a clear "t" sound, "ˈɛr-eɪ-tɪd". Tip: Ensure you pronounce the "t" distinctly at the end.
