Common mistakes of wrestle pronunciation
- Misplacing the vowel sound: Some may pronounce "wrestle" as /ˈrɛsəl/, omitting the "w" sound. Tip: Remember to start with the "w" sound /rɛs/ before moving to the "e" sound.
- Ignoring the silent letters: Many learners pronounce all letters in "wrestle," leading to /ˈwrɛstəl/. Tip: The "w" is silent; focus on the "r" to start the word correctly.
- Confusing stress placement: Some people incorrectly stress the second syllable, saying /ˈrɛsəl/. Tip: The primary stress is on the first syllable: /ˈrɛs/ in both US and UK pronunciations.
- Overemphasizing the "t": Learners might pronounce "wrestle" as /ˈrɛstəl/, making the "t" too prominent. Tip: The "t" is soft and should not dominate the pronunciation; focus on the smooth transition to the "l."
- Mispronouncing the ending: Some may say "wrestle" as /ˈrɛsəl/ with a clear "s" sound at the end. Tip: The final sound is a soft "l," so ensure it blends smoothly without a strong "s."
