Common mistakes of together pronunciation

  1. Misplacing stress: Many learners stress the second syllable, pronouncing it as "to-GE-ther" instead of "to-GETH-er" /təˈɡɛðər/ (US) /təˈɡɛðə/ (UK). Tip: Focus on emphasizing the "GETH" syllable for correct pronunciation.
  2. Omitting the "g": Some people say "to-ether" instead of "together" /təˈɡɛðər/ (US) /təˈɡɛðə/ (UK). Tip: Remember that the "g" is essential; practice saying "together" slowly to reinforce its presence.
  3. Incorrect vowel sound: A common mistake is pronouncing the "o" as in "go" rather than the schwa sound /ə/ in "together" /təˈɡɛðər/ (US) /təˈɡɛðə/ (UK). Tip: Use a relaxed mouth position to produce the correct schwa sound.
  4. Blending syllables: Some learners blend the syllables too much, making it sound like "togedder." The correct pronunciation is "together" /təˈɡɛðər/ (US) /təˈɡɛðə/ (UK). Tip: Practice separating the syllables clearly to improve clarity.
  5. Mispronouncing the "th": Many confuse the "th" sound, pronouncing it as "t" or "d," resulting in "togeter" or "dogether." The correct sound is /ð/ in "together" /təˈɡɛðər/ (US) /təˈɡɛðə/ (UK). Tip: Place your tongue between your teeth for the correct "th" sound.
