Common mistakes of establish pronunciation
- Dropping the "t": Many speakers omit the "t" sound in "establish," pronouncing it as /ɪˈstæblɪʃ/ instead of /ɪˈstæblɪʃ/. Tip: Remember to articulate the "t" clearly, as it is crucial for proper pronunciation.
- Misplacing stress: Some people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "es-TA-blish" instead of "es-TAB-lish" /ɪˈstæblɪʃ/. Tip: Focus on stressing the second syllable to maintain clarity and accuracy.
- Incorrect vowel sound: A common mistake is pronouncing the first vowel as /e/ instead of /ɪ/, leading to "establish" sounding like "establish" /ɛˈstæblɪʃ/. Tip: Ensure you use the short "e" sound /ɪ/ for the correct pronunciation.
- Adding an extra syllable: Some speakers add an extra syllable, pronouncing it as "es-tab-lish" /ɛsˈtæb.lɪʃ/. Tip: Keep it as a three-syllable word, emphasizing the correct syllable count for clarity.
- Confusing with similar words: Learners often confuse "establish" with "established" /ɪˈstæblɪʃt/, mispronouncing it as "establish-ed." Tip: Be mindful of the suffix and ensure you pronounce "establish" without adding unnecessary endings.
