Common mistakes of chelate pronunciation

Stress misplacement: Some learners stress the second syllable, saying "che-LATE" /ʧɪˈleɪt/. The correct stress is on the first syllable: "CHE-late" /ˈʧiːleɪt/. Tip: Remember to emphasize the "CHE" part.
Vowel confusion: Many people pronounce "chelate" with a short "e" sound, saying "che-let" /ˈʧɛlɪt/. The correct pronunciation uses a long "e": /ˈʧiːleɪt/. Tip: Focus on elongating the "ee" sound in "CHE."
Missing the "ch" sound: Some might say "kelate" /ˈkɪleɪt/, dropping the "ch" sound. The "ch" should be pronounced clearly as /ʧ/. Tip: Practice saying "cheese" /ʧiːz/ to help with the "ch" sound.
Incorrect vowel length: Learners may shorten the "a" in "chelate," saying "che-lat" /ʧɪˈlæt/. The correct form has a long "a": "che-late" /ˈʧiːleɪt/. Tip: Pay attention to the length of the vowel sounds in the word.
Overemphasizing the final "t": Some speakers stress the final "t" too much, making it sound like "chelate" /ʧiˈleɪt/. The "t" should be softer and less emphasized. Tip: Keep the final "t" light and quick.
