Common mistakes of establishment pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "es-ˈtab-lish-ment". Tip: Remember to stress the third syllable, "es-ˈtab-lish-ment" (UK: /ɪˈstæblɪʃmənt/, US: /ɪˈstæblɪʃmənt/).
- Overemphasizing "h": It's common to overemphasize the "h" in "establishment", leading to a sound like "es-ta-ˈh-bilish-ment". Tip: Keep the "h" light and subtle, blending it smoothly into the preceding syllable.
- Dropping syllables: Some might say "estab-lishment", omitting the "e" at the beginning. Tip: Pronounce all syllables clearly: "es-ˈtab-lish-ment", ensuring the "e" is present and distinct.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Mispronouncing the "a" in "establishment" as in "cat" can lead to confusion. Tip: Use the short "a" sound as in "father" (UK: /æ/, US: /ə/), ensuring clarity in pronunciation.
- Blending syllables: Some learners blend the last syllables, saying "establish-ment" instead of "establishment". Tip: Keep the syllables distinct, saying "es-ˈtab-lish-ment" to maintain clarity and correctness.
