Common mistakes of committed pronunciation
- Stress placement: Many pronounce "committed" with the stress on the second syllable, saying /kəˈmɪt.ɪd/. The correct stress is on the second syllable in both US and UK English: /kəˈmɪt.ɪd/. Tip: Remember to emphasize "mit" over "com."
- Dropping the vowel: Some people may omit the vowel sound in the second syllable, saying /kəˈmɪtəd/. The full form should include the "i" sound, pronounced as /kəˈmɪt.ɪd/. Tip: Ensure you pronounce all vowel sounds clearly.
- Mispronouncing the "t": A common mistake is to pronounce the "t" in "committed" as a soft "d" sound, resulting in /kəˈmɪd.ɪd/. The correct pronunciation features a clear "t" sound, /kəˈmɪt.ɪd/. Tip: Focus on articulating the "t" sound sharply.
- Lengthening the last syllable: Some may extend the last syllable, saying /kəˈmɪt.ɪːd/. The correct pronunciation is shorter, /kəˈmɪt.ɪd/. Tip: Keep the final "id" syllable brief and crisp.
- Confusing with "committing": Learners sometimes confuse "committed" with "committing," leading to incorrect stress and vowel sounds. "Committed" is pronounced /kəˈmɪt.ɪd/, while "committing" is /kəˈmɪt.ɪŋ/. Tip: Practice both words separately to master their distinct sounds.
