Common mistakes of meeting pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Some learners may stress the second syllable, saying "meet-ING" instead of the correct "MEET-ing" (ˈmiːtɪŋ). Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
- Incorrect vowel sound: A common mistake is pronouncing the first syllable as "met" instead of "meet." This changes the sound to /mɛt/ instead of /miːt/. Tip: Practice the long "ee" sound, as in "see."
- Overemphasizing the "t": Some speakers may pronounce "meeting" with a heavy "t" sound, making it sound like "meetin'" (ˈmiːtɪn). Tip: Keep the "t" soft and connected to the following vowel.
- Dropping the final "g": It's common to hear "meetin'" instead of "meeting" (ˈmiːtɪŋ). This can make your speech sound informal. Tip: Always pronounce the "g" to maintain clarity and formality.
- Confusing with "meeting" and "meting": Some learners mix up "meeting" (ˈmiːtɪŋ) with "meting" (/ˈmiːtɪŋ/), which means to distribute. Tip: Focus on the context and the initial "meet" sound to differentiate them.
