Common mistakes of remarkable pronunciation

  1. Stress placement: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "re-MARK-able" instead of the correct "re-MAR-kable" (ˌrɪˈmɑrkəbl). Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the third syllable.
  2. Vowel sounds: Mispronouncing the vowel sound in the first syllable can lead to confusion. The "e" in "remarkable" should sound like "ɪ" as in "kit" (ˌrɪˈmɑrkəbl). Tip: Practice the "re-" sound to ensure clarity.
  3. Schwa sound: Some speakers may omit the schwa sound in the second syllable, pronouncing it as "remarkable" instead of "remarkable" (ˌrɪˈmɑrkəbl). Tip: Remember that the unstressed syllable often has a schwa sound, making it softer.
  4. Final "ble" pronunciation: The ending "ble" can be mispronounced. It should sound like "bəl" (ˈbəl), not "blee." Tip: Focus on softening the "ble" to sound more relaxed and natural.
  5. Linking sounds: Some learners may pause between syllables, saying "re-mark-able" instead of smoothly linking them as "remarkable" (ˌrɪˈmɑrkəbl). Tip: Practice saying the word fluidly to improve your pronunciation.
