Pronunciation Practice: 5-Syllable Words In English

Are you ready to practice your pronunciation with some long words? 

The ones we’ll practice today all have 5 syllables – like the word vocabulary: vo-CA-bu-la-ry, with the stress on CA.

Listen to the audio below and try to repeat the words out loud. This method is called SHADOWING. The shadowing technique is another great way to improve your listening and speaking skills.

If you’re not sure what some of those words meant, you can just look them up in the dictionary – the purpose of today’s lesson is just to learn how to pronounce them. 

e-lec-TRI-ci-ty: electricity

pe-di-a-TRI-cian: pediatrician

un-be-LIE-va-ble: unbelievable
