Are you wondering how to pronounce "immediate"? Pronouncing words in the English language correctly can be challenging for non-native speakers. Here are some tips to help you achieve accurate pronunciation of the word "immediate":
Begin by breaking the word down into syllables: im-me-di-ate.
The first syllable, "im," is pronounced with a short "i" sound, similar to the "i" in "sit." The second syllable, "me," is spoken with a short "e" sound, like the "e" in "met." The third syllable, "di," is pronounced with a long "i" sound, like the "i" in "die." The fourth syllable, "ate," is spoken with a long "a" sound, like the "a" in "late."
When spoken together, the word is pronounced "ih-mee-dee-ayt." The emphasis should be placed on the first syllable, "im," in order to achieve the most accurate pronunciation of the word.
By practicing the syllables separately and then combining them, you should be able to confidently pronounce "immediate" like a native speaker.
