Common mistakes of reveal pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying /rɪˈviːl/ instead of the correct primary stress on the second syllable /rɪˈviːl/. Tip: Focus on placing the stress on the second syllable to sound natural.
  2. Overemphasizing the "r": Some speakers exaggerate the "r" sound at the beginning, making it sound more like /rɪˈviːl/ instead of the smoother /rɪˈviːl/. Tip: Keep the "r" soft and blend it smoothly with the following vowel.
  3. Dropping the "v" sound: A common mistake is to omit the "v" sound, pronouncing it as /rɪˈil/. This can confuse listeners. Tip: Practice saying the "v" clearly, as in /v/ to ensure clarity.
  4. Incorrect vowel pronunciation: Some learners use a short "e" sound, saying /rɛˈviːl/ instead of the correct /rɪˈviːl/. Tip: Pay attention to the vowel sound in the first syllable, which should be pronounced as /ɪ/.
  5. Confusing with "reveal": Some may confuse "reveal" with "reveal" /rɪˈviːl/ and pronounce them the same. Tip: Remember that "reveal" has a distinct meaning and pronunciation, so practice the two separately to avoid mix-ups.
