Are you wondering how to pronounce the word "started"? Pronouncing English words correctly can be challenging for non-native speakers, but with a few simple tips, you can master the pronunciation of this word.

First, break the word down into its two parts: "start" and "ed." The "start" portion should be pronounced with a short "a" sound, as in "cat," followed by a "t," an "a" sound, and a "r" sound. The "ed" portion should be pronounced with a "d" sound followed by a "t" sound. The entire word should sound like "stah-tuhd."

To practice the pronunciation of "started," try repeating the word several times. Focus on keeping the "t" sound crisp in the "start" portion, and making the "d" sound clear in the "ed" portion. If you have difficulty pronouncing the word, try breaking it down into its component sounds and saying each sound separately before attempting to say the entire word.

With practice and patience, you can master the correct pronunciation of the word "started." Good luck!
