Common mistakes of fulfill pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, saying /fʊlˈfɪl/ instead of the correct /fʌlˈfɪl/. Tip: Remember to stress the second syllable "fill" for proper pronunciation.
- Shortening the vowel sound: A common mistake is pronouncing the first syllable too briefly, like "ful" as /fʊl/. The correct pronunciation is /fʌl/. Tip: Make sure to use the "uh" sound in "ful" to sound natural.
- Overemphasizing the "f": Some speakers pronounce "fulfill" with an exaggerated "f" sound, leading to /fʊlˈfɪl/. The correct pronunciation is /fʌlˈfɪl/. Tip: Keep the "f" crisp but not overly strong to maintain balance.
- Ignoring the double "l": A mistake is to pronounce "fulfill" with a single "l," as /fʊlˈfɪ/. The accurate pronunciation is /fʌlˈfɪl/. Tip: Ensure both "l" sounds are clear to convey the full meaning of the word.
- Confusing with similar words: Learners sometimes confuse "fulfill" with "fill," saying /fɪl/ instead of /fʌlˈfɪl/. Tip: Remember that "fulfill" has two syllables, while "fill" only has one.
