If you are a non-native English speaker trying to learn how to pronounce myriad correctly, here are some tips.
The word “myriad” is pronounced mīˈrēəd. It has two syllables: “my” and “riad”. The first syllable “my” is pronounced like the word “my” and the second syllable is pronounced like the word “dread” without the “d”.
The emphasis (or stress) in the word should be placed on the first syllable “my”. When speaking the word, try to extend the vowel sound in “my” and shorten the vowel sound in “riad”. This will help to give the word its correct pronunciation.
To practice, try repeating the word “myriad” several times slowly. Focus on stressing the first syllable and shortening the second syllable. Once you get the hang of it, you can increase the speed of your pronunciation.
With a bit of practice, you will be able to pronounce “myriad” correctly. So don’t be afraid to practice and soon you will be speaking with confidence.
