Common mistakes of excited pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners put the stress on the second syllable, saying "ex-CI-ted" instead of "EX-cited". This can confuse listeners. Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, noted as ˈɛk.saɪ.tɪd.
- Omitting the "t" sound: Some people may pronounce "excited" as "exci-ed", dropping the "t" sound entirely. This makes the word unclear. Tip: Practice saying the "t" clearly, as in /t/ in IPA: ˈɛk.saɪ.tɪd.
- Incorrect vowel sound: A common error is pronouncing the first syllable with an "e" as in "bed" instead of "ex" as in "exit". This leads to miscommunication. Tip: Focus on the "ɛ" sound, as in /ɛk/ in IPA: ˈɛk.saɪ.tɪd.
- Overemphasizing the final syllable: Some learners may stress the last syllable too much, saying "excit-ED". This sounds unnatural in English. Tip: Keep the final "ted" light and quick, as noted in IPA: ˈɛk.saɪ.tɪd.
- Blending syllables: A mistake occurs when blending the syllables too closely, resulting in "excitd". This can make the word hard to recognize. Tip: Separate the syllables clearly: "ex" + "ci" + "ted", as in IPA: ˈɛk.saɪ.tɪd.
