Common mistakes of ebullient pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, pronouncing it as "e-BUL-li-ent" instead of the correct "e-BUL-lient" (ˈɛbəlɪənt in UK, ˈɛbəljənt in US). Tip: Remember the primary stress is on the second syllable.
  2. Incorrect vowel sounds: Many mispronounce the first vowel, saying "e-bull-yent" with a short "e" sound. The correct pronunciation has a more open vowel sound, as in "ebullient" (ˈɛbəlɪənt in UK, ˈɛbəljənt in US). Tip: Focus on the "e" sounding like "eh."
  3. Overemphasizing the "l": Some speakers overly stress the "l" in "ebullient," leading to a drawn-out sound. The "l" should be clear but not exaggerated. Tip: Keep the "l" light and quick.
  4. Skipping syllables: A common mistake is omitting the second syllable, pronouncing it as "ebulient." This version loses the full meaning and sound of the word. Tip: Ensure you pronounce all syllables clearly, especially the "li."
  5. Mispronouncing the final "t": Some learners pronounce it as "ebullien," dropping the final "t." The correct pronunciation includes the "t" sound at the end. Tip: Always finish with a clear "t" sound to complete the word.
