Common mistakes of reputable pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly place stress on the second syllable, saying "re-ˈpu-ta-ble". The correct stress is on the first syllable: "ˈrɛp.jə.tə.bəl". Tip: Focus on the first syllable to emphasize it correctly.
- Ignoring the schwa: Some pronounce the "a" in "reputable" as a clear vowel sound, instead of the schwa /ə/. This can lead to "ˈrɛp.ju.teɪ.bəl". Tip: Remember that the "a" is a weak sound, sounding like "uh".
- Overemphasizing the "t": A common mistake is to pronounce the "t" in "reputable" too strongly, resulting in "ˈrɛp.jə.tɪ.bəl". The "t" should be softer and less prominent. Tip: Keep the "t" light and quick.
- Mispronouncing the vowel sounds: Some may confuse the vowel sounds, pronouncing "reputable" as "ˈrɛp.ju.tə.bəl". The correct vowels are /ɛ/ and /ə/. Tip: Pay attention to the first vowel sound being an "e" as in "bed".
- Skipping syllables: Some learners might say "reputabl" by dropping the final syllable. This leads to an incomplete pronunciation. Tip: Ensure you articulate all syllables: "ˈrɛp.jə.tə.bəl".
