Common mistakes of multiple pronunciation
- Stress misplacement: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "mul-ˈti-ple." This is not standard. Tip: Remember to stress the first syllable, "ˈmʌl," for both US and UK pronunciations.
- Vowel confusion: Many mistakenly pronounce the "u" in "multiple" as "oo," resulting in "mool-tiple." This alters the sound. Tip: Focus on the short "u" sound, represented as "ʌ," for accurate pronunciation.
- Syllable omission: Some speakers may drop the second syllable, saying "ˈmʌl-ple." This can lead to misunderstandings. Tip: Practice saying all three syllables clearly: "ˈmʌl-tɪ-pəl."
- Final "t" sound: A common error is softening the "t" in "multiple," leading to "mulp-əl." This can make it sound unclear. Tip: Ensure the "t" is pronounced crisply as "t," maintaining clarity.
- Incorrect vowel in the last syllable: Some might pronounce the last syllable as "puhl," resulting in "mʌl-tɪ-puhl." This is incorrect. Tip: Use the schwa sound "ə" for the final syllable, making it "pəl."
