Common mistakes of website pronunciation
- Misplacing the stress: Many learners incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying "web-SITE". The correct pronunciation is "WEB-site" /ˈwɛbˌsaɪt/ for both US and UK. Tip: Focus on the first syllable to get it right.
- Omitting the vowel sound: Some people may say "web-sit", dropping the vowel sound in the second syllable. The full pronunciation is "website" /ˈwɛbˌsaɪt/. Tip: Practice saying the full word slowly to ensure you include all sounds.
- Confusing the vowel sounds: A common error is mispronouncing the "e" in "website" as a long vowel, saying "weeebsite". The correct sound is a short "e" /ɛ/. Tip: Listen to native speakers and mimic their pronunciation to master the vowel sound.
- Adding an extra syllable: Some may mistakenly pronounce "website" as "web-site-ee". The correct form is just two syllables: "website" /ˈwɛbˌsaɪt/. Tip: Break the word down into its syllables and practice saying them together smoothly.
- Mispronouncing the "t": Learners sometimes pronounce the "t" in "website" too softly or as a "d" sound, saying "webside". The correct pronunciation includes a clear "t" /t/. Tip: Emphasize the "t" at the end when practicing the word.
