Common mistakes of exemplary pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many say "exemplary" with stress on the second syllable, as in /ɪˈzɛm.plə.ri/. The correct stress is on the first syllable, /ɪˈzɛm.plə.ri/ (US) or /ɪˈzɛm.plə.ri/ (UK). Tip: Remember to emphasize the "zem" part.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Some pronounce the first syllable as "ig" instead of "ex," leading to /ɪˈzɛm.plə.ri/. The correct pronunciation starts with /ɪˈzɛm.plə.ri/. Tip: Focus on the "ex" sound, like in "excellent."
- Overemphasizing the "l": A common mistake is to overly stress the "l" sound in "exemplary," resulting in /ɪˈzɛm.plə.ri/. The correct pronunciation features a softer "l" sound. Tip: Keep the "l" light and quick.
- Skipping the "a": Some speakers omit the "a" in the second syllable, saying /ɪˈzɛm.plr.i/. The correct form includes the "a," pronounced as /ɪˈzɛm.plə.ri/. Tip: Ensure you clearly articulate the "a" sound.
- Mispronouncing the ending: People may pronounce the ending as "ree" instead of "ree," leading to /ɪˈzɛm.plə.ri/. The correct pronunciation is /ɪˈzɛm.plə.ri/ in both US and UK English. Tip: Pay attention to the final syllable, ensuring it sounds complete.
