How to Pronounce Interesting
The word “interesting” is pronounced as /ˈɪn.tər.ɛ.stɪŋ/. Here’s a breakdown of the pronunciation:
- “in” is pronounced as /ɪn/
- “ter” is pronounced as /tər/
- “est” is pronounced as /ɛst/
- “ing” is pronounced as /ɪŋ/
To pronounce it, follow these steps:
- Start by pronouncing “in” as in the word “insect” but shorter.
- Then say “ter” as in the word “term” but without emphasizing the “r” sound.
- Next, say “est” as in the word “best” without the “b” sound.
- Finally, end with “ing” as in the word “singing” but without emphasizing the “g” sound.
Putting it all together, you get /ˈɪn.tər.ɛ.stɪŋ/, where the stress is on the second syllable.
So, remember to emphasize the second syllable and make the “in,” “ter,” and “est” sounds shorter and less emphasized.
