Common mistakes of redeem pronunciation

  1. Misplacing the stress: Some learners put the stress on the second syllable, saying "re-ˈdeem". In both US and UK English, the correct stress is on the second syllable, "rɪ-ˈdiːm". Tip: Practice emphasizing the "deem" part.
  2. Incorrect vowel sound: Many pronounce the first syllable as "ree" instead of "ri". The correct pronunciation is "rɪ", as in "bit". Tip: Focus on keeping the first syllable short and relaxed.
  3. Overemphasizing the "d": Some speakers may overpronounce the "d" in "redeem", making it sound like "red-eem". The correct pronunciation is smoother: "rɪ-ˈdiːm". Tip: Blend the sounds together without pausing.
  4. Adding an extra syllable: A common mistake is to add an extra vowel sound, saying "re-deem" instead of "redeem". The correct form is a single two-syllable word, "rɪ-ˈdiːm". Tip: Practice saying it as one fluid word.
  5. Mispronouncing the final sound: Some learners may pronounce the final sound too softly, saying "redeem" as "redeem". The correct pronunciation includes a clear "m" sound, "rɪ-ˈdiːm". Tip: Ensure the "m" at the end is crisp and clear.
