Common mistakes of feeling pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "fee-LING" instead of the correct "FEEL-ing". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable, /ˈfiːl.ɪŋ/ in US and UK.
- Vowel sound confusion: Some pronounce "feeling" with a short "i" sound, as in "fit", resulting in "filling". Tip: Focus on the long "ee" sound /iː/ in the first syllable to avoid this mistake.
- Dropping the final "g": A common error is to pronounce "feeling" as "feelin'", omitting the "g" sound. Tip: Ensure to articulate the final "g" /ɪŋ/ clearly, which is essential for correct pronunciation.
- Incorrect vowel length: Learners may say "feeling" with a shorter vowel sound, making it sound like "fill-ing". Tip: Practice elongating the "ee" sound to /iː/, ensuring it's distinct and clear.
- Adding an extra syllable: Some people mistakenly pronounce "feeling" as "fee-ling", creating an unnecessary break. Tip: Keep it as two syllables, focusing on the smooth transition between /ˈfiːl/ and /ɪŋ/.
