Common mistakes of exalted pronunciation

  1. Stress placement: Many learners mistakenly stress the second syllable, saying "ex-ˈal-ted." The correct pronunciation places stress on the second syllable in both US and UK variants: "ɪɡˈzɔːl.tɪd." Tip: Focus on emphasizing "zalt" instead.
  2. Vowel sound confusion: Some pronounce "exalted" with a short "e," saying "ˈɛksɑltɪd." The correct initial vowel sound is a short "ɪ," as in "ɪɡˈzɔːl.tɪd." Tip: Practice saying "ig" to get the right sound.
  3. Mispronouncing the "x": A common error is to pronounce the "x" as "ks," leading to "eks-ˈɑl-tɪd." The "x" in "exalted" should sound like "ɪɡ," as in "ɪɡˈzɔːl.tɪd." Tip: Remember, "ex" sounds like "ig."
  4. Ignoring the "t": Some speakers tend to drop the "t" sound, resulting in "ex-ˈzɔːləd." The "t" is essential for clarity in "exalted," pronounced as "ɪɡˈzɔːl.tɪd." Tip: Emphasize the "t" to ensure proper pronunciation.
  5. Overemphasizing the "a": A frequent mistake is to overemphasize the "a" in "exalted," saying "ex-ˈæl-tɪd." The correct pronunciation uses a schwa sound in the second syllable: "ɪɡˈzɔːl.tɪd." Tip: Keep the "a" subtle and focus on the "zalt."
