Common mistakes of title pronunciation

Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress on the second syllable, saying "ti-ˈtle". In both US and UK English, the correct stress is on the first syllable: "ˈtaɪ.təl". Tip: Focus on emphasizing the "ˈtaɪ" part.
Incorrect vowel sound: A common mistake is pronouncing "title" with a short "i" sound, saying "ˈtɪ.təl". The correct pronunciation uses a diphthong: "ˈtaɪ.təl". Tip: Practice the "ai" sound as in "my" to get it right.
Omitting the second syllable: Some may say "ˈtaɪl" instead of "ˈtaɪ.təl". This drops the second syllable entirely. In both US and UK pronunciations, both syllables are important. Tip: Remember to enunciate both "t" and "əl".
Confusing with similar words: Learners might confuse "title" with "tittle", pronouncing it as "ˈtɪ.təl". "Tittle" has a different meaning and pronunciation. Tip: Remember that "title" has the "ai" sound, while "tittle" uses a short "i".
Mispronouncing the "t": Some pronounce "title" with a softer "t", like "ˈdaɪ.təl". This alters the initial consonant sound. Tip: Keep the "t" sharp and clear to maintain the correct pronunciation.
