Common mistakes of exaltation pronunciation
- Stress placement error: Many people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ex-alt-ˈa-tion". The correct stress is on the third syllable: "ex-ˌal-ˈta-tion". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on "ta".
- Vowel confusion: Some may pronounce the "a" in "exaltation" as a short "a" sound, like in "cat". The correct pronunciation is with a long "a" sound, as in "father": "ex-ˌal-ˈta-tion". Tip: Focus on elongating the "a" sound.
- Mispronouncing the "x": The "x" in "exaltation" is sometimes pronounced as "ks" instead of its correct sound /ɛks/. This can lead to saying "ksaltation". Tip: Always pronounce "ex" as /ɛks/ to ensure clarity.
- Ignoring the "t": Some speakers may omit the "t" sound, leading to "exalation". The correct form includes a clear "t": "ex-ˌal-ˈta-tion". Tip: Emphasize the "t" to maintain the word's integrity.
- Syllable reduction: People sometimes reduce the third syllable, saying "ex-alt-tion". However, "exaltation" has four distinct syllables: "ex-ˌal-ˈta-tion". Tip: Practice breaking the word into its syllables to improve pronunciation.
