How to pronounce “specific”
To pronounce the word “specific,” follow these guidelines:
- Place emphasis on the second syllable: spə-SI-fik.
- Start by making the “sp” sound with your lips together.
- Continue with the “ə” sound, similar to the “uh” sound.
- Move on to the “S” sound, like a hissing sound made by pushing air through your teeth.
- Follow this with the “I” sound as in “sit.”
- Finally, end with the “fik” sound, pronounced like “fick.”
Remember to pronounce each syllable clearly, and practice saying the word “specific” slowly at first before gradually increasing your speed.
