Common mistakes of vibrate pronunciation
- Misplacing stress: Some learners place stress incorrectly on the second syllable, saying "vi-ˈbrate" instead of the correct "ˈvibrate". Tip: Remember that the primary stress is on the first syllable.
- Overemphasizing the "a": The "a" in "vibrate" can be pronounced too strongly, leading to "vi-ˈbraɪt". The correct pronunciation is "ˈvaɪ" as in "high". Tip: Focus on the smooth transition between the "v" and "brate".
- Skipping the "t": Some may drop the "t" sound, pronouncing it as "ˈvaɪb-reɪ". This can confuse listeners. Tip: Ensure you clearly articulate the "t" sound at the end of "vibrate".
- Incorrect vowel sounds: The vowel in the first syllable may be pronounced as "ɪ" instead of "aɪ", leading to "ˈvɪbrate". Tip: Practice saying "vibrate" slowly to get the "ai" sound right, as in "kite".
- Blending the syllables: Some speakers might blend the syllables together, resulting in "vaɪbret". This can make the word unclear. Tip: Pronounce each syllable distinctly: "vib" and "rate".
