Common mistakes of feeble pronunciation

Incorrect vowel sound: Some learners pronounce "feeble" with a long "e" sound, as in "see." The correct pronunciation is /ˈfiː.bəl/ in both US and UK English. Tip: Focus on the "ee" sounding like "ee" in "see."
Misplaced stress: Many people stress the second syllable, saying "fee-BLE." The correct stress is on the first syllable: /ˈfiː.bəl/. Tip: Practice saying "feeble" with emphasis on the "fee" to master the stress pattern.
Overemphasizing the "b": Some speakers pronounce "feeble" with a heavy emphasis on the "b," making it sound like "fee-BUL." The correct pronunciation is /ˈfiː.bəl/, with a softer "b." Tip: Keep the "b" light and quick.
Ignoring the schwa: Learners may overlook the schwa sound in the second syllable, pronouncing it as "feeb-l." The correct form is /ˈfiː.bəl/, where the "bəl" has a neutral vowel sound. Tip: Remember that the second syllable is softer and less distinct.
Confusing with similar words: Some confuse "feeble" with "fable," pronouncing it incorrectly as /ˈfeɪ.bəl/. The correct pronunciation is /ˈfiː.bəl/. Tip: Pay attention to the initial vowel sound to distinguish between "feeble" and "fable."
