Common mistakes of frustrated pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "frus-'TRA-ted" instead of "'FRUS-trated". Tip: Remember that in "frustrated", the primary stress is on the first syllable, marked as ˈfrʌs.trə.tɪd.
- Overemphasizing the "u": Some pronounce "frustrated" as "frus-'TRA-ted", exaggerating the "u" sound. Tip: The "u" in "frustrated" is a schwa sound /ə/, which should be less emphasized.
- Incorrect vowel sounds: Learners might say "frus-'TRAY-ted" with a long "a" sound. Tip: The correct pronunciation features a short "a" sound /æ/, so it should sound like "frustrated" with /ˈfrʌs.trə.tɪd/.
- Skipping the "t": Some might say "frus-'RAY-d" omitting the "t" sound. Tip: Ensure to pronounce the "t" clearly; it is essential for proper articulation, as in /ˈfrʌs.trə.tɪd/.
- Confusing with similar words: Learners may confuse "frustrated" with "frustrating", mispronouncing it as "frus-'TRA-ting". Tip: Remember that "frustrated" ends with the "-ted" sound, while "frustrating" has a different ending, pronounced as /frʌsˈtreɪ.tɪŋ/.
