Common mistakes of submit pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Many learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, pronouncing it as /səbˈmɪt/. The correct stress is on the last syllable, /səbˈmɪt/. Tip: Remember that in "submit", the emphasis falls on "mit".
- Incorrect vowel sound: Some might pronounce the first syllable as /sʌb/, which is incorrect. The correct pronunciation is /səb/, using a schwa sound. Tip: Practice saying "submit" slowly to focus on the soft "u" sound.
- Overemphasizing consonants: Learners sometimes overly stress the "b" in "submit", making it sound harsh. The correct pronunciation is smoother, with a softer "b" sound. Tip: Say "submit" in a fluid manner, connecting the sounds.
- Missing the final "t": Some speakers may drop the final "t", saying "/səbˈmɪ/" instead of "/səbˈmɪt/". This changes the word's meaning. Tip: Always finish with the "t" sound to ensure clarity.
- Confusing with similar words: Some may confuse "submit" with "submittal", pronouncing them similarly. "Submit" is pronounced /səbˈmɪt/, while "submittal" has a different stress pattern. Tip: Practice each word separately to distinguish their sounds.
