Common mistakes of enchanted pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "en-CHAN-ted." The correct stress is on the second syllable: /ɪnˈtʃæn.tɪd/ (US) and /ɪnˈtʃɑːn.tɪd/ (UK). Tip: Remember to emphasize "CHANT" when saying "enchanted."
  2. Ignoring the vowel sounds: Some may pronounce "enchanted" with a flat "e" sound, saying "en-chanted." The first syllable should have a short "i" sound, as in /ɪnˈtʃæn.tɪd/. Tip: Practice saying "in" followed by "chanted" to get the vowel sound right.
  3. Overemphasizing the "t": Learners often pronounce the "t" in "enchanted" too strongly, making it sound like "en-chan-TED." The "t" should be softer, as in /ɪnˈtʃæn.tɪd/. Tip: Focus on blending the "t" smoothly into the syllable.
  4. Missing the "d" sound: Some speakers omit the "d" at the end, saying "enchant." The correct pronunciation includes the final "d," pronounced as /ɪnˈtʃæn.tɪd/. Tip: Say the full word slowly to ensure you include the "d" sound clearly.
  5. Vowel confusion in the second syllable: A common mistake is pronouncing the second syllable as "təd" instead of "tɪd." The correct form is /ɪnˈtʃæn.tɪd/. Tip: Practice the second syllable by saying "tin" and then "tɪd" to get the right vowel sound.
