Common mistakes of expedite pronunciation

Stress placement error: Many speakers incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "ex-ˈpe-dite" instead of the correct "ˈek-spə-daɪt". Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable for proper pronunciation.
Vowel sound confusion: Some people mispronounce the first vowel, saying "ex-ˈpe-dit" with a short "e" sound. The correct pronunciation is "ˈek" as in "bed". Tip: Focus on using the "e" sound from "bed" to start.
Consonant blending mistake: It's common to blend the "p" and "d" sounds, resulting in "ex-ˈpe-dit" instead of "ˈek-spə-daɪt". Tip: Clearly articulate each consonant to avoid blending.
Incorrect vowel length: Some speakers pronounce the second syllable as "daɪt" instead of the correct "dəɪt". Tip: Practice elongating the vowel sound in "daɪt" to ensure clarity.
Final syllable mispronunciation: A frequent mistake is saying "ex-pe-ˈdite" instead of "ˈek-spə-daɪt". Tip: Make sure to pronounce the final syllable as "daɪt" with a clear "d" sound.
